I am a leading dentist in complete health, the movement that is driving to listen to, understand, and educate patients that the mouth is quite possibly the most important indicator of total body health and well-being. I have assembled a team of highly-talented people dedicated to care for patients in a way that is different than ever before with the ultimate goal of complete health.
In 2018, I was honored to be recognized as a Leading Dentist in Complete Health for my teams focus on the oral-systemic link and its connection to disease processes commonly found with the dental population.
I completed my undergraduate degree at Miami University in 2001 in Mechanical Engineering and Business Management. I spent two years working as an engineer in manufacturing before realizing that reducing costs and improving processes was not the way I wanted to spend my life. Looking at options for a career change, I decided that dentistry was the best choice to allow me to solve problems on a daily basis, while helping people get better and feel better about themselves. I graduated from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry in 2007.
I met my wife, Danielle, during our freshman year at Miami University and we have been together ever since. We were married in 2001 and have three children, Lane, Graham, and Sloane. We love food and wine and traveling to find inventive, creative cuisine and exciting dining experiences. I am an avid golfer, and I volunteer my time with non-profit organizations in our community.
We will custom design your CEREC crown on your first visit, and with no messy impressions and no temporary crowns. CEREC technology allows us to conserve as much healthy, natural tooth structure as possible, and because the crowns are made from solid blocks of porcelain, their strength and beauty is virtually unmatched.
A whiter smile can make a beautiful first impression and Zoom Whitening can brighten your smile up to eight shades. The results are immediate. To keep that bright smile long-lasting, you will receive custom made bleaching trays for touch-ups at regular 6 month intervals.
An implant replaces the root of missing teeth so a new tooth can be fitted into place. The implant process is a common procedure and very effective. And using modern Guided Implant Surgery technology, we will ensure that your implants are fitted perfectly with minimal swelling and discomfort resulting in strong, functional and natural looking teeth.
This small camera sends images of your mouth to a monitor so you can see the same tooth-by-tooth view we see and help you make more informed decisions. The Intraoral Camera helps you take an active role in your dental care.
These are cavities that digital x-rays and explorer tools do not find. With over 90% accuracy, the technology identifies teeth that show signs of a cavity and enable us to protect them to avoid the development of the cavity altogether. The Diagnodent Caries Detector requires no scratching and is simple, fast, and painless.
The software helps us locate dental decay that is unseen by the human eye. When decay is caught early, we can often implement treatment to remineralize the tooth. If a cavity is detected, treating these areas while they are small allows us to retain much more of the natural tooth. The Logicon Caries Detection Software is sensitive enough to detect the early onset of a cavity and allows us to monitor it over a period of time. It also helps to distinguish between true cavities and other artifacts to prevent the misdiagnosis of healthy teeth.
