A Lifelong Commitment to Painless Dentistry

 "When I was 9 years old, I had a terrifying experience at the dentist. That experience made me vow to become the most gentle dentist in the world. My passion to reach my goal helped me finish college in two and a half years and then on to dental school.

When I was in dental school, one of my professors told me that my greatest challenge as a dentist would be to keep my care gentle, so no one would be afraid of the smile care they needed. I have devoted my career to doing just that. I am proud to say that I am able to make my patients so comfortable that most of them actually fall asleep in the chair during treatment.

Even other dentists refer their more sensitive patients to us."

A Lifelong Commitment to Cosmetic Dentistry

"Nothing has been more rewarding to me all these years than being able to better my patients' lives by beautifying their smile, and to help other dentists in the community as a Dental Adviser on the subject.

We all know the tremendous positive effect of a beautiful smile on our self esteem, our love life, and our careers. I was not satisfied with just the standard. I wanted my patients to achieve results beyond belief. My relentless search leads me to constantly discover ways to take Cosmetic Dentistry to almost miraculous levels.

For example, many patients have tried all kinds of teeth whitening procedures but have been disappointed with either the result or the pain they had to endure going through the process. However, by trying my Deep Whitening treatment they have found that they were able to achieve long lasting phenomenal results without the pain.

Another example is the additional dimension that Orthodontics add to the Cosmetic Treatment, or the extensive knowledge in the subject of Full Mouth Reconstruction and Makeover, and so on..."

Beautifying Smiles with an Artist's Eye

Beautifying Smiles with an Artist's Eye "When you visit us, notice the landscape photographs around the office. As a weekend photographer, I not only get to enjoy the great outdoors with my wife and two daughters, I also get to refine my artist's eye. So when I look at your smile, I can envision how beautiful it could look...so I can make that vision a reality."
