I remember wearing my favorite dress and waiting nervously in line for my turn. My thumb plucked at the black comb that was given to me. I watched with apprehension as the other kids in my class sat on a wooden stool, turn towards the photographer and flash a wide smile. My heart beat wildly when they called my name…my turn. The photographer energetically encouraged me to smile. Tears started welling in my eyes and knotted my throat. I didn't have pretty teeth to smile with, my top front teeth were so badly decayed they had to be removed earlier that year. I took a deep breath and moved my lips into an awkward smile that showed only my bottom teeth. This is my story of my kindergarten school pictures. At a young age, I experienced what it was like to not like my smile.

Today as a dentist, I want to hear your story. Have you always had great teeth and want to maintain their health? Did you suffer from an accident that damaged your teeth? Do you get cavity after cavity and don’t know what else to do? With 20 years of experience in dentistry, I am here for you to share your story with me and to customize your care towards your specific needs. It is my goal to provide the best dental care possible in an environment where you will be comfortable and listened to.

It is my belief that staying educated and up to date with the current trends in dentistry and health is an essential part of my job. I regularly exceed the amount of continuing education required to provide my patients with the best, most current care options. I am passionate about dentistry and enjoy attending seminars hosted by the leaders in our field.

Today, with the help of dental professionals in my life, I love my smile. As you dentist, I want to help you love yours. I hope I have the opportunity to hear your story and help make that story include lots of smiles.
