Dr. Shane Sykes

Dentistry, to me, is a harmonious blend of art, science, and compassion. After more than 20 years of clinical practice, my greatest joy remains connecting with individuals who have had challenging dental experiences and transforming their perception of what is possible within the comfort of our office.

My passion for continual growth recently led me to complete an 18-month sabbatical—a period of intensive reflection and professional development. I have returned to full-time practice with a renewed vision for The Reno Dentist: to provide a true one-stop-shop where world-class technology meets personalized, comprehensive care. Dedicated to continual personal improvement, I recently earned a MBA exactly 20 years after completing my doctoral degree. I am dedicated to evolving our practice to better serve the busy lives of Reno’s professionals and families. I spend much of my free time honing my craft, pursuing continual training in dental implants, orthodontics, cosmetics, and emerging technology.

While I am a dentist by profession, I’m also an author, filmmaker and competitive endurance athlete. Most importantly, I am a father of six amazing children. Whether I’m navigating the Sierras or designing a complex restorative treatment plan, I bring the same energy and commitment to excellence. I am thrilled to be back in the office full-time, working alongside our incredible team to ensure every patient achieves a healthy, vibrant life.
