Randolph Ken Shoup DDS, FAGD, MAMED

Dr. Randolph Ken Shoup, DDS, FAGD, MAMED, is a General Dentist at the Microscope Dentistry by Shoup. Dr. Randy Shoup is a 1981 graduate of Indiana University School of Dentistry. Dr. Shoup served in the US Public Health Service for 3 years before starting his private practice journey located in Indianapolis in 1984.

Dr. Shoup has pioneered several technological and procedural innovations to dramatically improve the quality of dentistry for all patients. In 1987 he had the very first intraoral dental camera showing patients actual pictures of their teeth with amazing clarity. This visual collaborative process empowers patients to make better quality decisions about their dental treatment.

Dr. Shoup began his career-long dedication to magnification in 1988 by progressing from 3X magnification loupes to 6X magnification loupes, which were the strongest available at the time. This ability to see in stunning detail and precision allowed Dr. Shoup to begin grinding significantly less on teeth thus preserving all the healthy tooth structures possible for his patients.

In 1989 Dr. Shoup began to develop dental restorative procedures around the newest cutting-edge technology of using a surgical microscope through which to perform ultra-conservative dentistry. Dr. Shoup is a pioneer in crafting the processes for dentists to utilize this quantum leap in their ability to see, enabling dentists to make significantly smaller restorations thus saving the patients irreplaceable healthy tooth structure. The microscope technology allows Dr. Shoup to see the patient's tooth at 30X magnification. He is one of the only restorative dentists in the world to use this level of magnification while restoring a tooth.
