From an early age, I knew I wanted a career in health care. In college, I volunteered at hospitals and worked part-time as a dental assistant, which gave me a first-hand look into the world of dentistry. I found myself drawn to pediatric dentistry, where I could build lasting relationships with young patients and watch them grow. It’s a privilege to earn parents’ trust in caring for their little ones, and I take pride in providing comprehensive care that builds confidence in their smiles.
With over 15 years in dentistry, including years as a general dentist, I’ve developed a wide-ranging skill set and a strong cosmetic focus. Now, as a dual board-certified pediatric dentist, my team and I bring a unique biological approach to dental care. Our practice is airway-centered, recognizing the vital role of jaw growth, tongue and lip function, and overall oral health in children’s wellness. I’ve pursued extensive training in sleep medicine and orthodontics, and I am certified in both Vivos and Healthy Start.
Staying at the forefront of dental technology allows us to provide the best care possible. We utilize state-of-the-art tools, including the Solea, Fotona, and Biolase lasers for minimally invasive procedures such as fillings, frenectomies, extractions, and even sleep laser treatment. Our practice also offers 3D imaging, digital scanning, and 3D printing, giving us the precision and insight needed for effective airway and jaw assessments. For sedation, we offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation with an in-office anesthesiologist, ensuring comfort and safety for all our patients.
I’m a proud member of both the American Dental Association (ADA) and the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), which help me stay connected with the broader dental community and continue to grow as Our practice strives to provide an outstanding experience for both children and parents. We approach oral health as a crucial part of overall wellness, involving parents in every step to ensure informed, collaborative decisions. From routine cleanings to complex cases, we’re here to support each child’s health and growth with a wide range of services, including biological and airway-centered treatments, cosmetic care, and orthodontic options like Invisalign and SureSmile.professional.
Although this is a new practice, community involvement is deeply important to me. In my previous practice, we supported local schools, sponsored events, and held educational presentations in classrooms. As we grow, we’re committed to fostering similar connections and giving back to the community around us.
Patient education is at the core of my philosophy. I believe in helping families understand the importance of oral health and the impact it has on overall well-being. By emphasizing preventive care, we work to avoid future issues, while offering the best treatment options when necessary. A healthy, confident smile has a profound effect on a child’s confidence, and supporting their oral health and airway development is a responsibility I’m grateful to have.
Thank you for considering us as part of your child’s health journey. We look forward to growing with you and supporting your family’s wellness every step of the way.
