"Conservation of Tooth Structure" This is my main mantra. Through the analysis of general structural integrity of the tooth in combination with laser diagnosis of decay, I can help to predict and prevent future catastrophic and biologic failure of the tooth that would require it to need a crown, root canal, or implant.

In addition, I do a microscopic examination of the bacteria in your gums to see if you are at risk for gum disease as well as to assess if our therapies are effective. This helps you maintain a healthy mouth.
Research is showing more and more the link between the health of the mouth and the health of the body. Keeping a healthy mouth will help you maintain total body wellness.
