Our Commitment to You
To do our best to treat everyone with genuine compassion, care and consideration.
To explain in understandable terms the health of your mouth and how to attain a lifetime of optimal oral health.
We listen, we care, we explain.

Prevention
Our goal is for our patients to truly understand what they can do to preserve their teeth for a lifetime. There is a strong genetic component to cavities, gum disease, and tooth wear-the three main causes of damage to teeth. Do you know your risk levels? Call us today to find out and make a custom plan to keep your teeth and avoid costly repair or replacement.

Repair & Restoration
When a tooth is damaged we want you to understand the why of repairing and restoring it. What material is best for you? How long is the repair going to last? How long is the tooth going to last? All of these are critical and highly individual factors that your dentist should be able to explain to you in a way that makes sense. We do this every day; call us to experience how truly understanding your condition and options can help you achieve optimal oral and dental health!

Replacement & Complex Rehabs
When teeth are lost it is critical to plan for replacement that most closely duplicates the form and function of your natural teeth. From conventional bridges and dentures to complex implant-supported restorations, we have decades of experience in helping you choose the right option for you. In today’s modern dentistry, there is no need to suffer with missing teeth, loose or ill-fitting dentures, or the associated loss of quality of life and confidence in your smile.
