Shelley Kaur, DDS

I’m Dr. Shelley Kaur, and I’ve been practicing dentistry for more than 20 years. I earned my first dental degree in Punjab, India, where I grew up. After moving to the United States, I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the NYU College of Dentistry. At NYU, I participated in an oral surgery honors program and was a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the national dental honor society.

After graduating, I completed a fellowship in oral and maxillofacial surgery at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. My training included emergency and urgent dental care, complex extractions, anesthesia, and the management of traumatic dental injuries, including reimplantation of knocked-out teeth.

Practicing in several states gave me the opportunity to care for patients of all ages and broaden my clinical experience. In New York, I focused on cosmetic and restorative dentistry, including veneers, inlays, onlays, and Invisalign. In Kansas, I spent four years providing dental care to children in underserved communities. In Michigan, I worked at a practice that cared for Detroit Lions players. My work there included making custom athletic mouthguards, providing cosmetic treatment and root canal therapy, and treating dental injuries.

My husband, Harnek, and I moved to El Dorado Hills in 2013 to raise our son and daughter. I worked in private pediatric and general dental practices before my friend and colleague, Dr. Angel Sun, invited me to continue caring for her patients when she retired. I’m grateful for the trust she placed in me and for the opportunity to carry on the tradition of care she established.

Outside the office, I enjoy hiking, biking, running, and going to the movies with my family. I look forward to meeting you, hearing what matters to you about your dental care, and helping you feel comfortable at each visit.
