Comfort Dental Braces - Colfax and Havana - Aurora

I am elated to provide quality and affordable orthodontic treatment to our local neighborhoods. Being a Colorado native myself it is a unique opportunity to provide for the communities I grew up amongst. My father, Dr. Mark Stasi, was and continues to be the inspiration for my pursuit of excellence in the field of Orthodontics.   After my Colorado upbringing I extended my horizons to Omaha, Nebraska. I continued my commitment to service during my time at Creighton University throughout undergraduate and graduate school. While at Creighton I received my Bachelors in Science and a Minor in Business Administration as well as my Doctoral degree in Dentistry.   I then went on to receive my specialty training in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at the Georgia School of Orthodontics. During my time in residency I was exposed to a multitude of treatment modalities including traditional fixed and self ligating appliances, MBT treatment philosophy, aligner therapy, craniofacial anomalies, TADs, laser therapy, and orthognathic surgery. The focus of my research during residency training was specifically towards outcomes of aligner therapy. I received two merit based and faculty selected scholarships while in residency; the Dr. Nathaniel Glover Leadership and Professionalism Scholarship as well as the Dr. Melvin Polk Professional Integrity and Academic Achievement Scholarship. I am a member of the American Association of Orthodontists and the Rocky Mountain Society of Orthodontists.  On a personal note I am married to my amazing wife Meredith who is also my high school sweetheart. We have long been looking forward to putting down roots back in our home state. I enjoy hiking, snowboarding/skiing, golfing, watching college sports (Go Hawkeyes and Bluejays!), cooking, walking our German Shepherd Thatcher, and spending time with my family.

Influenced by a family of several dentists and dental specialists, Dr. Kennedy learned at an early age how important dental health is to one's overall quality of life. He graduated from the UCLA School of Dentistry Magna Cum Laude in 2003 and completed his certificate in Orthodontics with a Masters degree in Craniofacial Biology from the University of Southern California in 2006. After graduation, Dr. Kennedy spent 14 years in Southern California, teaching in the USC Pediatric Dental program at Long Beach Memorial Hospital’s Children’s Dental Health Center, as well as maintaining a private practice.  In the summer of 2020, presented with an opportunity to work with many of his respected colleagues at Comfort Dental, Dr. Kennedy and his family of seven, moved to Denver to continue in a tradition of providing high quality smiles at an affordable cost. He especially enjoys getting to know each one of his patients and providing individual treatment plans designed to deliver the best possible outcome. In his free time, Dr. Kennedy and his wife Marie, enjoy being parents to five incredible children. He loves watching them play sports (especially soccer, basketball and golf), snowboarding, and all other outdoor activities. His oldest, Leila, a freshman at Brigham Young University, is already considering a dental career. His number one passion (other than straightening teeth) is following his favorite football team, the USC Trojans.

All Comfort Dental dentists are graduates of accredited dental programs and are licensed by the state in which they practice. They have chosen to purchase a Comfort Dental franchise in order to achieve their professional goals.
