In the spring, a family of ducks takes up residence in our neighborhood.

What to expect . . . our philosophy

A healthy smile begins with preventive care and a balanced bite and continues with aesthetic enhancements to give you the brightest and most natural smile possible. We are committed to providing you with complete care for your healthy smile.

For your complete dental wellness . . . Oral health is a major indicator of your body's wellness. You've probably read about links between periodontal disease and heart disease. Untreated tooth decay can lead to root canals and ultimately tooth loss. Unbalanced occlusion (the way you bite) can lead to tooth fracture and loss, hypersensitivity and even head and neck pain. We aim for early detection to save you discomfort, time and money.

For your comfort . . . While we care for you, you may listen to music on our chairside Ipods or watch TV or a movie. We take our time learning your needs and explaining procedures. Anytime you have a concern, we are available; we care for dental emergencies on the same day.

For your smile . . . We offer tooth-colored fillings, veneers and crowns as well as whitening. For more complex health needs, we offer implant, root canal, periodontal, and TMJ-related therapies.

For fun . . . you could win a $100 gift certificate to Bartolotta's Restaurants, Boswell Books on Downer Avenue, Amazon.com or at our office when you refer your family and friends to us.

Continuous improvement . . . We dedicate at least two days each month to continuing education for our entire team. We use Gemba-Kaizen process for continuous improvement in all of our procedures.
