Doctors’ Philosophy
Everyone is different due to physical health and financial considerations. I pride myself on sound dental practices while staying current with technology, utilizing soft and hard tissue lasers. I am not interested in selling a patient something they do not need. I am part of my community and much like my values as a captain in the United States Air Force, I am true to those I serve.
Please give us a call at (860) 658-7833 for an appointment so we can provide your family with the most up-to-date and technologically sound oral care. Your health is our everyday concern. Let us partner with you for a brighter smile.
