Education & Background
Dr. Kiefer is a proud California native and a two-time graduate of the University of the Pacific. She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) at the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco, following her undergraduate degree at UOP’s Stockton campus.
After dental school, she spent six years honing her skills in the Seattle area, where she developed a strong foundation in family, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry before returning to her home state to co-found Elevated Dentistry in Walnut Creek.
Her Philosophy of Care
Dr. Kiefer believes that great dentistry begins with connection and education. She takes the time to understand her patients’ personal goals, lifestyle, and concerns — building long-term relationships based on mutual trust and respect.
Her approach to care is:
- Individualized — every treatment plan is tailored to the person, not just the condition
- Preventive — she empowers patients with knowledge and tools to maintain oral health
- Comfort-focused — she creates a safe, relaxed experience, especially for those with anxiety
- Technology-enabled — she leverages digital tools to enhance accuracy and patient understanding
From guiding patients through their first comprehensive exam to advanced treatments like veneers or implants, Dr. Kiefer is dedicated to helping every smile thrive.
Outside the Office
When she’s not caring for patients, Dr. Kiefer enjoys spending time with her husband and two daughters. Together, they love to ski and travel, exploring new cultures and destinations whenever they can. In the summer, you’ll often find her out on the water — wakeboarding and wake surfing with friends and family. In the winter, she enjoys skiing and soaking in everything nature has to offer.
Her love for adventure and connection is mirrored in the way she approaches dentistry: with energy, precision, and heart.
