In my practice I hope to combine the technical expertise from years of training and experience with the compassion and care for the whole health of my patients.
Since my dad was a dentist, I was exposed to dentistry at an early age. Dental tasks came easy to me and I have always thought that there must be a better way to practice dentistry than to “drill, fill and bill”. I have been researching the biocompatible aspects of dentistry for over 20 years.
Since I am trained in hospital dentistry, I was able to do entire oral revisions at one time under general anesthesia. When dramatic results were obtained, I became convinced that some dental materials could affect the whole body. This was the beginning of my quest for ultimately biocompatible dental materials.
I have worked with Physicians for many years, working side by side in the hospital and in the O.R. It has been both enlightening and frustrating at times. The medical establishment does not consider the oral cavity very often in diagnosing and treating patient. It is usually by default that the dentist is called in on a case. After treating many patients in the hospital, I began to see the correlation between dentistry and medicine. A correlation that is embodied in my attempt to practice Holistically.
