I believe
My sights have always been set on:
- Giving a highly personalized experience to patients
- Using the best technology to give the best results
- Making them as comfortable as possible through the process because we know that a lot of people still identify dentistry with being painful—and it doesn’t have to be
- Creating an environment where patients feel safe and comfortable and know that they’re going to get the benefit of the best technology (not necessarily the newest technology—i don’t jump on every bandwagon*)
*One of my lines is “we’re not really on the cutting edge, we’re on the leading edge.” We let other people be on the “cutting edge” and we learn from them and their experiences. On the cutting edge you tend to “bleed” a lot, and we don’t want to do that. We want to make sure that things are going to work before we offer them to our patients.
I just want to give patients an experience where, when they leave after an appointment, they feel that:
- They’ve been well taken care of
- That they’ve gotten the best that dentistry has to offer
- That my staff is friendly
- That we care about them
- That we want them to have the best
- We like them–just as they like us

Facial rejuvenation is appealing to patients who are investing in cosmetic dentistry and also want to enhance the features surrounding their smiles.
Invisalign®
Invisalign straightens the teeth using a progressive series of clear, removable plastic trays to apply specific forces to the teeth and reposition them.
