About Your Dentist

"The world always looks brighter from behind a smile."

My Mission

“My top priority is to understand each patient's unique needs and expectations in order to create a comfortable and safe experience. I love helping patients understand their personal oral environment, and how it relates to overall health and well-being. I do this by spending time talking with each patient, training my office staff and myself in the latest scientific findings and techniques, and utilizing state-of-the-art equipment. Together, we can create a personalized, comprehensive, and sensitive treatment plan so that every patient enjoys a healthy, happy smile.”

My Mission

My greatest priority as a dentist is to care for each patient as if they were my very own family. In life, it's natural to be nervous about things every now and then, but the staff and I will do everything we can to make sure your dental visits are not one of them. As a follower of Christ, I desire to utilize my profession as a component of my ministry within the community, and it is important to me that we serve each patient through compassionate, quality care.
