Ankit Keshav, DDS

Vital Endodontics

Dr. Ankit Keshav isn’t just an accomplished endodontist—he’s a proud Trojan, a dedicated family man, and someone who approaches life with passion and purpose. A Southern California native, Dr. Keshav discovered his love for science early on, which led him to pursue a degree in Biology at the University of the Pacific. He then earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Southern California, where his commitment to excellence continued to shine. After completing advanced general dentistry training at N.Y.U. Lutheran, he returned to USC to specialize in Endodontics. Along the way, he received multiple Clinical Research Awards from prestigious organizations like the California Dental Association, the Academy for Sports Dentistry, and the USC Research Day Program. For Dr. Keshav, however, the greatest reward is helping his patients feel comfortable, cared for, and pain-free.

Dr. Keshav is also passionate about shaping the future of dentistry. He serves on the Board of Counselors for the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry and the Board of Governors for the USC Alumni Association, where he mentors aspiring dental professionals and gives back to the Trojan Family that has been instrumental in his journey.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Keshav lives life to the fullest. As a father of three energetic kids, he’s always on the go. He’s an avid basketball and football fan, a motorsports enthusiast, and a lover of great food and good company. Whether he’s traveling the globe, hitting the gym, or enjoying a backyard BBQ with family and friends, Dr. Keshav believes in working hard, playing harder, and cherishing every moment.
