Personal Attention / Professional Excellence

"It is an extremely exciting time to be in the dental field. The continuing advancements in diagnostic services and therapies allow my patients the very best in dental care. I am proud to be one of the first doctors in the area to incorporate state-of-the-art instruments and technology, such as the use of the laser diagnodent and intra-oral camera, to aid in the detection of cavities. In addition, my practice offers a wide variety of cosmetic services, including whitening, micro-abrasion, and Invisalign, the new 'clear' alternative to braces."
