I am hardworking and strive to constantly broaden my knowledge in various dental disciplines through CE courses and independent study. I actively seek feedback to continually improve my skills. For my patients, I aim to create an inviting atmosphere by establishing personal connections, working to understand their concerns, and clearly communicating their treatment options and goals. Through over a decade at a multi speciality practice, I have been afforded the opportunity to gain significant experience in fixed and removable prosthodontics, simple/surgical extractions, multiple implant restorations, immediate implant temporization, complex treatment planning, endodontics, and the management and recognition of patients with emergent endodontic needs, oro-facial pain and oral pathology.
