Our Expert Orthodontic Team

Dr. W. Shane Holmes DDS, MDS

Dr. Holmes is truly a proud West Virginian, but even more proud to be a daddy to his precious boys, Evan (13), Kyle (10), and identical twins, Jackson and Easton (4). They’re quite a handful and every day is a new adventure! They all enjoy camping and spending much of their time together. Keeping life simple is the approach this hometown boy takes.

Dr. Holmes is passionate about centering his practice on excellence, in every sense of the word. He leads the industry in the latest technological developments and techniques. Exceptional experience and results are hallmarks of the practice taken very seriously. Dr. Holmes has a conservative approach to recommending orthodontic treatment. He does not recommend early orthodontic treatment unless severe issues exist. This is how he has earned the reputation of having the highest level of honesty and integrity.

Dr. Holmes and his team all share an immense passion for supporting and giving back to the community that has blessed them so much. He and his team are very proud of the many meaningful charities they’ve participated in and the substantial contributions they have made over the years.
