About Your Dentist

My Mission

"Working inside someone's mouth is a tremendous privilege. One great thing about dentistry is that I enjoy the ability to diagnose and treat in a short span of time. That helps me simultaneously eliminate pain and build back personal confidence inside other people. It's also a special facet of healthcare where you get to be an artist, a material scientist, a structural engineer, an educator, and a trusted advisor. My mission in dentistry is continually learn and combine those talents to give people dignity in a vulnerable time."
