I truly feel that with patience, education, compassion, and empathy going to the dentist can truly be a positive experience!

Ive wanted to become a dentist since I was in high school. My childhood dentist growing up was a tremendously positive influence on me, and I always thought how great it was that he was able to build long-lasting relationships with his patients. His patients raved about him, and when he retired, he said earnestly that he felt like most of his patients became more like his friends. Those are the kind of relationships that I want to build with my patients. I want to see children grow up in my dental office, and then see their own kids as patients when that time comes!
My goal is to provide high quality dental care where patients can develop long-lasting relationships with me and my staff. I want to provide the kind of dental experience that completely changes peoples perception that going to the dentist is unpleasant.

Most oral health problems dont show any obvious signs right away, leading many issues to go unnoticed until the problem is already advanced. At this point, a patient is usually in quite a bit of pain, and their issue cant be easily and inexpensively treated. To save patients from this kind of headache, we recommend that everyone receive at least two checkups and cleanings each year.
The teeth come in many different shapes and sizes, and the back teeth, with their wide and grooved surfaces, are by far the most vulnerable to developing cavities, especially for young children who are still learning to brush. Their deep grooves are the perfect traps for food particles and plaque, but we can keep these teeth fully protected with a dental sealant. Well apply a clear, filling-like material to the teeth, and it will quickly harden into an invisible barrier that plaque, bacteria, and acids cannot cross.
About 1 in 3 Americans unconsciously grind their teeth while they sleep, and this is something dentists refer to as bruxism. This exposes the teeth to forces much greater than typical biting and chewing, which can wear them down and eventually cause them to break. To help patients rest easy, we can provide them with a small oral appliance called a nightguard. Worn only to bed, it places a thin but firm barrier between the rows of teeth to prevent them from coming together.
Our dental office has been around so long that many of our child patients are starting to bring their own children to come see us!

When it comes to your oral health, the condition of your gums is just as important as your teeth. Without consistent oral hygiene, the gums can easily develop an infection called periodontal disease, better known as gum disease. Symptoms include red, swollen, and tender gums that bleed easily. Without treatment, gum disease can actually cause bone loss, eventually leading to tooth loss. Gum disease is actually the leading cause of adult tooth loss in the US!
At Woodside Dental Care, our team is ready to protect your entire mouth, so well screen your gums whenever you come to see us. If we spot any signs of infection, we can use a deep cleaning called scaling and root planing to remove bacteria and lower your risk of reinfection at the same time. To help your gums heal, we can apply a topical antibiotic as well. Well make sure your smile stays healthy from top to bottom!
Do you think that you have sleep apnea, or have you already been diagnosed with the condition? If so, then the sleep solution you need might be at a place you dont expect: Woodside Dental Care! We can use a custom-made oral appliance to help patients get the deep, restful sleep they need to feel energized during the day, and they can even be used to stop snoring! This method is proven effective, and it can even serve as a viable alternative for patients who want to get rid of their CPAP.
Your TMJ (temporomandibular joint) is the joint that connects your lower jaw to your skull, giving you the ability to eat, speak, laugh and yawn. It can sometimes develop dysfunction due to strain, injury, or inflammation, leading to symptoms like a stiff and painful jaw, chronic headaches, and soreness in the neck and shoulders. Using precise testing and targeted therapies, our team can determine the root cause of a patients pain and provide the long-term relief they need.
