Gaining the skills and education required to complete life changing transformations for patients on a daily basis isn’t something you can accomplish overnight. It takes passion and relentless pursuit; a never ending desire to improve, advance, and be better than you were yesterday.

I placed my first implant in 2010 and knew my purpose within this profession. Since that moment I’ve had a singular focus on placing dental implants.

My passion for dentistry didn’t come from a love of teeth or an excitement for going to the dentist. Like many of my patients, the idea of going to the dentist was met with anxiety, mostly due to a lack of great experiences.

My first passion was art: drawing, painting, sculpting, creating. This was an innate part of my life from a very young age. In school I gravitated towards science and biology, knowing that medicine was the path I was meant to follow. I began to realize that dentistry was sculpture in small scale and the principles of proportion, design, and symmetry that I had always been drawn to, existed in this career path.
