In our Office we want what is best for you dentally and for your overall health and well being. Our goal is for you to have a healthy smile and a healthy body! Healthy teeth and gums make for a great smile, but they also contribute to the whole health of our bodies. Today, we can do better dentistry in a less toxic environment with advanced treatment options that can be individualized for each patient. Biologic dentistry is a thought process, a holistic approach, and a guide for making choices in a dental practice. In recent years several studies have been published connecting oral conditions to the rest of the body. For example, effects of periodontal disease/infection on markers of systemic inflammation that can help predict and when treated prevent conditions such as cardiovascular disease or low birth weight. Biologic dentistry also considers the effects of dental materials and dental procedures themselves on the overall health of the body. It is of paramount importance that when we place foreign materials in the mouth that we understand the toxicology, the immunology, and the microbiology of our work and minimize the effects on the biologic terrain of our patients. We take our hippocratic oath of First, do no harm very seriously. It is our passion to stay current on information, technology, and procedures so that we can give our patients the best holistic dental care available.

It is my passion to help my patients attain their best oral health as a potentially pivotal part of their overall health. I am excited to bring these options and treatment philosophy to the West Texas area.
