'I chose dentistry because I knew it would be a career that I would enjoy. Having spent years around the office growing up, I felt comfortable in knowing what would be involved. I enjoy pretty much everything about dentistry. I love helping patients reach their goals. I enjoy the variety of day-to-day practice, how every patient, mouth and tooth provides its own unique set of problems and solutions.
I think the most important aspect of patient interaction in our office is caring for them as individuals. Our philosophy of care revolves around a sense of responsibility to our patients. Our role in their care starts from giving them a picture of their oral health and explaining to them what can be done. It is up to individual patients to decide which pathway they want to choose. We are here to guide them, help them and follow through, but treatment decisions truly belong to the patient.
I hope to give my patients respect for their emotions, whether they be fear, excitement or nervousness, along with respect for their expectations, which may simply be a desire to smile. Understanding all of these starts with spending time with patients and listening to them. Every patient is different and deserves to be treated individually.'

Compared to getting a new denture, partial, or having a traditional bridge made, dental implants in Clifton Park, NY are the only type of restoration that mimics the look and feel of natural teeth. As such, they've become the gold standard for tooth replacement treatments in modern dentistry.
Non-Invasive to Other Teeth A traditional bridge calls for reshaping healthy virgin teeth on either side of the missing one, permanently altering their structure. Implants are stand-alone restorations that function independently of other teeth.
Enhance Your Facial Profile and Bone Anatomy By design, implants trigger bone development in the area where they are placed. This permanently fuses the implant to the mouth and preserves natural bone height in the jaw, limiting the 'sunken' appearance usually seen after tooth loss.
