By placing a strong emphasis on patient education and preventative practices, we are able to help many patients achieve optimal dental health and reduce dental emergencies. Modern dentistry offers numerous restorative materials as well as cosmetic and tooth replacement options. We want our patients to understand their diagnosis as well as their treatment options and limitations of treatment so they can select the treatment that best suits their needs and desires.

We recognize that many patients will postpone routine dental visits because of a high level of anxiety, and if you suffer from high anxiety just thinking about dental care, guess what?.... you are actually quite normal. More than half of all patients are in this category and we can offer nitrous oxide with or without oral sedation (valium, xanax, etc.) to help put you at ease. Gentle care combined with nitrous oxide, oral sedation and headphones can greatly reduce the anxiety of the most fearful patients.

Our office staff has many years of helping and serving patients. We want your visit to be as comfortable as possible. Our diagnosis will be thorough, and it will be clearly explained without high pressure. We welcome second opinions and encourage them in large cases. When we recognize the need for referral to a specialist, my staff and myself will make available to you all the necessary information and assist in any phone calls. We will present multiple treatment options when needed, fees will be discussed openly and your questions will be encouraged and welcomed. Our front desk staff will assist you with your dental insurance as well as explaining and arranging financial options.
