A beautiful smile can provide a building block for increased self-esteem, a positive outlook, and self-confidence that enhances every day of a patient’s life. Being an orthodontist, I love that I am able to give each person a healthy, wonderful smile they love to share and that brightens the world.
As an orthodontist, I understand that each patient has different clinical needs, but all have the same goal of an amazing smile. It’s my job to find the treatment processes that are right for their unique situation and design a treatment plan that will develop the straight teeth, great oral health, and marvelous new smile in a manner that’s right for that person.
For me, my patients are what it’s all about. I love the energy and excitement they have and bring into our practice. They come here seeking a life-changing, beautiful smile, and that enthusiasm makes for a positive, fun atmosphere in which to work. I also appreciate the relationships I develop with my patients, getting to know each on a personal level and looking forward to hearing the latest news when they come for their visits. It’s always a treat to be included in their lives and I love that they choose to confide in me.

Oral healthcare, and especially orthodontics, is a constantly changing field. With new developments in materials, treatment practices, and technologies, it’s essential that I stay on the leading-edge of knowledge in the field in order to provide my patients with the best care available. To do anything less is not acceptable. I am a board certified orthodontist and actively pursue continuing education throughout the year, including through the American Association of Orthodontists and the American Board of Orthodontics, in order to remain current.
