Dentistry is a form of artistic expression as much as it is a product of evidence-based treatment modalities. It is amazing how a dental procedure can not only transform someone’s mouth, but also their entire being. I am lucky to be in a profession that provides a product that transcends its intended form and function. A person’s smile is a key element of facial beauty. I strive to enhance and complement a patient’s appearance through their smile, taking into account facial proportions and matching one’s smile to his or her personality. There is nothing more rewarding than the change in self-esteem that accompanies a cosmetic rehabilitation.
Upon completion of dental school, I pursued additional training to become a specialist in Prosthodontics. A Prosthodontist is a dental specialist who spends three years of rigorous training after dental school to become an expert in tooth replacement – this can range from a single tooth to multiple teeth, or all of the teeth in the mouth, also known as full mouth reconstruction. My scope of practice focuses on prosthetic, cosmetic, and implant dentistry. I also provide primary care dentistry to attend to your every need.
