About Us

About Keys Dental Specialists

For over 65 years, our dental practice at 800 United Street has been a cornerstone of Key West's medical heritage and community spirit. Founded in 1960 by Dr. F.S. Carbonell, one of the island's first full-time dentists, our building is a piece of living history—constructed from bricks salvaged from a pre-Civil War hotel in Augusta, Georgia.

The practice flourished under the care of Key West native Dr. John Hayes Sr. and later his son, Dr. John "Alex" Hayes Jr., both of whom deepened our roots in the community with personalized, compassionate care. In 2006, Dr. Manchester ushered in a new era, leading to our building's recognition as a historic structure in 2010.

Today, Keys Dental Specialists proudly continue this legacy under the leadership of Dr. Nathan Eberle, a double board-certified oral and plastic surgeon—one of fewer than 100 in the nation with such credentials. Our dedicated team offers comprehensive, patient-centered dental care, serving the entire Monroe County.

We remain committed to upholding the highest standards of personalized service, providing an alternative to impersonal corporate dentistry. Our longstanding dedication to excellence and community well-being makes us a trusted partner in your dental health journey.
