His wife, Jennifer, is an architect and designed the inspiring DDC building. A pilot since he was 16 years old, Dr. Greg loves flying.
“ONE OF THE TOP DENTAL TALENTS”
As the spouse of a retired dentist, I am very particular about my dental work and aware of the many substandard dental practitioners in the Dayton area. Dr. Shelhouse crafted a beautiful crown with perfect margins for me….Not only is the office gorgeous, but the staff also goes above and beyond with their friendliness. I believe Dr. Shelhouse is one of the top dental talents in the area, continuously attending multiple workshops each year to stay updated with the latest innovations in dentistry. Based on my recent experience, I highly recommend Dayton Dental Collaborative.
Randi Butler, DDS
"Having worked in the practice as an administrative assistant before attending dental school, the philosophy of DDC is deeply ingrained in my approach to dental care. I am driven by a passion to create an extraordinary dental experience for our patients."
Dr. Randi Butler began working at DDC as an administrative assistant for Dr. Shelhouse while completing her Master's degree in Anatomy at Wright State University. With inspiration from the DDC family, she went on to The Ohio State University College of Dentistry to complete her dental training. She is the first person in her family to graduate from college and enjoys working out, bike riding and walking her adorable rescue dog.
“far exceeded my expectations”
This place far exceeded my expectations. Most times you kind of feel like a number. Not here at all. From the minute you walk in the door. You are treated with great respect and feel like you matter. Song, my hygienist and Dr. Butler were absolutely fantastic. The whole staff start to finish are some of the best I've ever encountered. I'm a very old school guy when it comes to any kind of health related topic. I need to feel like I matter. They did just that!

Christian Jensen, DDS
"We meet patients where they are. Everyone has their own unique story; there’s no cookie-cutter treatment. We aren’t here to pass judgment, we are here to listen and offer solutions. That’s what’s important."
Dr. Christian Jensen earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from The Ohio State University and holds a Bachelor of Science in Pre-Medicine from the University of Dayton. While at UD, he was actively involved in the Honors Program, Tri-Beta Biological Honor Society, and dental interest groups, and contributed to genetics research as a lab assistant. Dr. Jensen brings a strong academic foundation, clinical skill, and a commitment to patient-centered care to his practice every day.
“Highly recommend”
I love my new dentist, Dr. Jensen, at Dayton Dental Collaborative. He knew I had a very traumatic experience with a previous dentist doing a crown. The previous dentist literally man-handled me, putting his full body weight on me trying to shove my crown on. To this day, it does not fit correctly. My temporary crown only lasted one day and when I called to say it fell out, they could’ve cared less and went without for 2 weeks!
Dr. Jensen put ME in charge during my procedures (2 crowns), offered mild sedatives, and laughing gas. It has all gone very well, everyone in office was super professional and sweet. I have one last installation of the 2 permanent crowns and my anxiety is SO much better. PS - their main receptionist is one of the sweetest humans on the planet!
Highly recommend.
