Special Professional Interests

After serving four years as a general dentist in the United States Navy, I pursued specialty training in endodontics because I was drawn to both the complexity of the field and the ability to make an immediate difference for patients in pain. Endodontic procedures such as root canal treatment, retreatment, and apical surgery allow us to save teeth that in previous years may have been considered hopeless. It is incredibly rewarding to help patients preserve their natural teeth and restore comfort and function, and I consider it an honor to serve them in that role.
