Practice Philosophy

I strongly believe in preventive dental care so that you can keep your teeth for your entire lifetime. For me, preventing dental disease is as important as treating it. Secondly, I practice a style of comprehensive dental care which I call 'co-therapy'. In this approach I will present you, whenever possible, with a range of treatment options, depending on your needs and circumstances at that particular moment. Once I have acquainted you with the pros and cons of each option, you can decide which is most appropriate for you. While the decision is ultimately yours, I will however protect you from making uninformed decisions, such as placing beautiful cosmetic work on unhealthy oral conditions where your investment would be quickly lost. I will treat you, as I would want any member of my own family to be treated by their healthcare professionals. Finally, we will respect your time by ensuring that you do not experience excessive waits in the reception room.

Procedures

Biannual dental appointments eliminate plaque and tartar and promote oral health. We’ll examine your teeth, gums, and bone, and offer you any necessary treatment plans after a dental checkup and full mouth x-rays.
     Our facility has an oral aerosol vacuum to improve air quality and prevent COVID-19, the common cold, and seasonal flu. A cutting-edge iTero intra-oral scanner accurately visualizes tooth and gum line anatomy for Invisalign (invisible tray orthodontic correction) aligner trays, crowns, and night guards without impression molds. With 3D tooth movement imaging, you can simulate Invisalign orthodontic treatment before and after. Also, using this scanner instead of a mold-based crown impression minimizes emetic/gagging reactions.
     In-office treatment includes composite fillings, crowns, laminate veneers (resin composite and porcelain), bridges, implant crowns, dentures, mouth guards, Invisalign, and teeth whitening/bleaching. Ask about our insurances. We will explain and submit insurance paperwork to optimize dental benefits.
