Overview
As a cosmetic dentist specializing in creating beautiful smiles, I understand you are looking for a dentist who will listen to precisely what you would like to accomplish with your cosmetic dental procedure.
Most of my patients are educated men and women who come into our office with fairly specific goals for their smile. It is my philosophy that our relationship begins with you telling and showing me exactly how you would like your teeth and smile to look. It is then up to me to help you understand what can and what sometimes cannot be done to accomplish your aesthetic dental goals.
