He has advanced skills in restorative and aesthetic/ regenerative dentistry including composite resins, veneers, crowns, bridges and implants-all planned and done with a comprehensive/whole mouth approach that is dependent on a co-discovery examination and treatment planning model of care. Helping the patient to clarify their objectives to create a vision for their dental health and the desired appearance of their smile is the cornerstone of his providing dental care to patients.

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

I have a genuine desire to help people have good oral health -- I also understand that many people are highly visual and so I use clinical photography and the latest technology/optical scanning extensively to help patients to better understand their dental health and aesthetic conditions/problems and to develop WITH the patient “the decisions/treatment options that feel right for them”. The patient is always the one who ultimately decides on their preferred treatment options.
