I believe that with proper care and motivation, people can have healthy smiles with teeth that will function for a lifetime. I love children and I make sure that kids have a great dental experience in our office. I can empathize with patients that are fearful about dental visits, so we provide music, videos, nitrous oxide, and sedation to anxious patients. I also have hospital privileges at St. Alphonsus Medical Center in Nampa. Some patients prefer that their dental treatment be performed in the hospital operating room under general anesthesia.
I recognize the necessity of staying current with technology. I have attended over 1400 hours of continuing education since graduation from dental school. It is exciting to see how new technologies have provided a higher level of care and comfort for patients. My expertise covers a full scope of dentistry, including: cosmetic procedures, orthodontics, simple tooth removal & wisdom tooth removal, root canals, placement of implants, and fabrication of dentures and partial dentures. I can also treat minor facial injures, and TMJ (jaw-joint) disorders, and provide appliances to treat snoring and sleep apnea.
