Technology and clinical innovations in dentistry are progressing at an amazing rate. I believe it is imperative to stay current through continuing education in all aspects of dentistry. I have consistently completed hundreds of hours of continuing education so I can apply my knowledge and clinical skills to provide complete dental care with the highest standard of treatment, tailored specifically to each individual patient.
I believe dentistry to be the perfect fusion of art and science, demanding the blending of artistry with skillful techniques. When creating a new smile, a dentist must have a sense of harmony and of the patient's individuality. In my opinion, dentists are also healthcare educators who have a profound impact on the way patients lead their lives. It is essential to create trust with a patient through thorough exams, taking time to explain why treatment is needed and provide a comfortable environment for the patient. The highest reward is to see my patients’ happy smiles and improved oral health and appearance, which in turn affect their self-confidence and overall quality of life.
