"Best dentist I ever went to. Fast and efficient. Told me everything he was going to do before he did it, and let me know how long it would take. Gave me all the facts in a friendly, knowledgeable and professional manner. Didn't lecture me about brushing and flossing - just did what he needed to do. If you're like me, haven't gone in awhile, and feel guilty, this is the guy to go to."

Preventive Dentistry

We believe prevention is key to avoiding costly and painful dental procedures. If you want to maintain healthy teeth and gums for years to come, you must be very diligent with your brushing and flossing routine at home. A consistent homecare regimen that involves using the right type of toothbrush and proper flossing technique is important for all patients. We serve our patients with preventive dentistry procedures that include the necessary type of dental cleaning, periodic oral exams, periodontal screenings, and in some cases, specialty procedures such as fluoride treatments and sealants.

Oral Pathology Exams

We provide all patients with an annual oral pathology exam so that we can detect any signs of oral cancer or abnormalities of the soft tissues in or around the mouth or on the face. An oral cancer screening should be performed at least once a year to detect any precancerous or cancerous lesions. We take the risk of oral cancer very seriously, and can also instruct you on how to perform self-oral cancer exams between visits.
