It is such a privilege to see how an incredible smile changes peoples feelings about themselves and how their lives change as opportunities are opened to them. Knowing that in some small way I was a part of that makes my job truly rewarding.

Although my formal dental education is complete, Iattend more than 50 hours of continuing education everyyear. The courses I take enableme to stay current with the latest developments in orthodontic care, to ensureour patients always get the most up-to-date methods of treating their orthodontic needs.

Those who seek orthodontic care are concerned about themselves, both in their appearance and the health of their teeth. No matter their age, all our patients are young at heart and have an enthusiasm for life that I share. It makes people feel so much better about themselves when they have an incredible smile. It truly allows them to fulfill their dreams through the power of their smile!

I love serving the people of the Lancaster and Tehachapi communities! In my practice, we are sponsors of every community activity and school team that approaches us. We have been doing this for more than 20 years.

Our patients tell us our office is the second happiest place on earth, next to Disneyland! In my practice, we have great music and a game room for all ages. We provide a fun, happy, upbeat place to just hang out!

They work with people exceptionally well, fromhealthy, happy patients to ones with health issues or special needs. Our team is exceptionally understanding andempathetic, and they are just kind, good people. They love to have fun!

I was raised in northern Utah, but most of my adult life has been in California. For more than 20 years, I have called Lancaster my home. I am married to my wonderful wife, and we have two sons and a daughter. Our kids are all grown, with the youngest in college. My wife and I dont quite have an empty nest yet, becauseour house is shared by our golden retriever!

In my spare time, I enjoy doing anything that is outdoorsy, including hiking, biking, golf, hanging out in the sun, scuba diving, snow skiing, snowboarding, and surfing! Im also an avid reader and a couch potato when it comes to professional sports.

We recognize that allour patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs.

For most people, achieving a healthy, beautiful smile is the reason for receiving orthodontic care. If you're self-conscious about your smile, correcting your concerns with braces will greatly improve the way you look and feel.

We also want you to feel comfortable and confident throughout your entire orthodontic experience, and our practice is dedicated to making sure that you receive the quality care you deserve.

Orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position.

Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can now choose clear or metal brackets and, in some cases, the color of your appliance. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great age to wear braces!

Treatment time varies and can last between one and three years, depending on several factors including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your case is. A big factor in a successful treatment is you! The more involved and diligent you are, the more efficient your treatment will be. For children, receiving interceptive or early treatment can also help provide a quicker treatment time.
