Hi! I'm Karla, Founder of Key Elements

I’m a third-generation dentist with a passion for smile design.

I am a comprehensive and interdisciplinary dentist trained extensively in many different dental procedures that range from general dentistry to complex smile design. Being a Spear and Kois grad, DSD Clinic, helps with understanding, planning and sequencing the big picture.

These procedures Include veneers, Invisalign, dental implants, cosmetic gum recontouring, full mouth reconstructions and even same day makeovers all done with full digital workflows!

In the last 7 years I've also been an educator presenting in Europe, Africa, Latin America and North America on fully embracing the digital dentistry revolution to transform your practice into a more fulfilling and elevated experience for our patients.

If there is one thing I'm proud of is the relationships I have with my patients and making the dental experience a comfortable and fun one where the team is a full part of every step of the way to achieving our patient’s dream smile. Making it fulfilling for both the doctors, the team and the patients!

Having attended many of Dr. Karla Soto’s courses, her passion and her teaching style keep me wanting more!

Dr. Soto is an expert in digital dentistry and also an outstanding Clinician. She makes concepts easy to understand, and teaches from the heart which is so easy to see how much she loves her patients, dentistry, and the wonderful transformations that she provides them.
