Dr. Zachary Santoro, DMD - Restorative Dentist in Indianapolis

Meet Dr. Zachary Santoro, one of the highly experienced restorative dentists at Nuvia in Indianapolis, IN.

About

Dr. Zachary Santoro, DMD

Dr. Santoro’s pursuit of a career in dentistry was largely inspired by the time he spent shadowing his grandfather who worked as a dentist in Florida. 

His dental education started at Missouri School of Dentistry and Oral Health where he studied in both Kirksville and St Louis. He then completed 2 years of post graduate training at Southern Illinois University where he did both Advanced Education Residency and a Surgical and Prosthetic Fellowship.

When asked about why he’s so passionate about dentistry, Dr. Santoro shares that he loves the fulfillment of helping patients achieve their goals. 

He also loves to work in a role where he has the opportunity to create a comfortable, positive environment for patients. He feels this is especially important as many patients he meets come having had less than ideal experiences at the dentist.

Why Nuvia?

Dr. Santoro was drawn to Nuvia in Indianapolis by the opportunity to give patients a smile transformation with a 24 hour turnaround.

Nuvia’s revolutionary process and advanced technology allow Dr. Santoro to give patients a totally different experience than they would get with the traditional method of getting implants. Now his patients can receive their permanent teeth in 24 hours rather than waiting what could be up to 10+ months with temporary teeth.

Outside of Dentistry

When he isn’t working as a restorative dentist, Dr. Santoro likes to fish. Originally from Naples, FL, he loves to deepsea fish when he has the chance but also enjoys freshwater fishing in Indiana.

His other hobbies include watching college football, going to the gym, and walking his dog.

Dr. Nicholas Keefer, DDS

Dr. Nicholas Keefer is a restorative doctor at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Indianapolis, IN. His journey into dentistry began as a child, when frequent visits to the orthodontist and dentist planted seeds of interest in the field. 

Later, his passion for both science and engineering led him to dentistry, where he could combine hands-on work with scientific principles. Dr. Keefer enjoys using the latest advancements in dental technology to help patients rebuild their smiles, improving not just their oral health but also their confidence and quality of life.

Why Nuvia?

Knowing the frustrations that temporary teeth can bring patients, Dr. Keefer loves being part of the Nuvia team where the need for temporary teeth is eliminated by the permanent teeth in 24 hours process. 

Rather than returning for multiple visits over what may be months in order to get permanent teeth, patients can get their permanent teeth 24 hours after the dental implant procedure.

Outside of the Office

Outside of his work at Nuvia, Dr. Keefer enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife, and being with friends and family. Two of his hobbies are playing golf and grilling.
