“We always strive to provide the highest quality of care possible because that is what I believe our patients deserve. We continually improve our techniques and service through continuing education and training. I keep up to date on the latest developments in dental materials, techniques and procedures in order to provide state of the art dentistry. Our greatest thrill in dentistry is to give a patient the beautiful smile that they have always dreamed of and help them maintain that healthy beautiful smile for a lifetime.”
If you are like most people, you are probably conscious of the need for cleanliness, disinfection and sterility in daily life as well in the dental office. Through years of intensive and ongoing training, dental professionals have learned and adopted techniques of infection control, which have become second nature to them.
Our office is committed to TOTAL health and safety and adheres rigorously to the highest standards of prevention to protect you. For each individual patient, we use a wide range of disposable items, including gloves, masks, needles, paper drapes and tray covers, as well as plastic and foil barriers to protect against cross-contamination (spread of germs). Every patient is assured of a completely new and sterile set of these items. Your health, safety, and comfort are our ultimate concern.
