Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

Choosing a pediatric dental home is a very important decision, you should definitely do your research. Your dental whom will be a place that your children will grow with for many years to come. If you choose our team, not only do we have hundreds of combined years of experience, but we have patience, love and understanding your children need to have a successful and rewarding dental experience.

What are the top 3 treatments that you focus on?

Phase I Orthodontics, nitrous oxide procedures, general restorative procedure from fillings to baby root canals and baby crowns.

What are you proud of in your practice?

Our Team! Most have been with me over 10 years... some nearing 20 years!

Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

All cases are unique and rewarding in their own way. My favorite case is that of the fearful child, or the child that has already had a negative dental experience in the past. I love to see how we as a team gain his or her trust, and how they later learn to love dentistry and taking care of their teeth. It forms a lifetime of positive dental experiences.
