Why Work With Me?
Whether it’s a single restoration or a more comprehensive full mouth rehabilitation, I create for my patients the “smile lift”—natural looking teeth that are meant to complement the natural facial symmetry. Great aesthetic enhancement has to be performed with great planning and precise execution.
Because of my extensive training and experience as a dentist, I’m proud to say that my patients receive the best care available. I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to help thousands of patients in my office, and have even become a trusted voice in the community about dental issues.
