I have over a decade of experience in dentistry, including private practice, humanitarian dental missions, and academic service as a clinical instructor at a dental school.
Over the years, I have cared for patients at every stage of oral health — from early warning signs to advanced conditions that significantly affected their ability to eat, speak, and live comfortably. Seeing how small, overlooked issues can evolve into complex problems shaped how I approach dentistry today.
This experience led me to design a practice centered on precise diagnosis, prevention, and patient understanding — so concerns are identified early, explained clearly, and addressed thoughtfully, before they become harder to treat.

What your visit includes.
My practice is grounded in preventive and diagnostic care. Each visit includes a comprehensive oral examination, thorough periodontal evaluation, and appropriate digital imaging, including X-rays when clinically appropriate. I carefully review clinical findings, explain treatment options clearly, and develop individualized, prevention-focused care plans. When treatment is recommended, decisions are made collaboratively — never rushed — so patients feel informed, respected, and confident in their care.

Oral health requires ongoing attention. After your visit, I continue to monitor your health through regular preventive follow-ups tailored to your needs. If specialized care is ever required, I refer patients to trusted specialists based solely on clinical necessity—never with pressure or incentive for additional treatment.
