I love dentistry, and I love patient care.
A graduate of the prestigious University of California, San Francisco School of Dentistry, I have extensive experience in various dental practices across California.
Besides general dentistry, I have expertise in nitrous oxide administration and specialized training in implant placement and restoration.
Through the years, I have continued learning to stay at the forefront of dental advancements by incorporating the latest technologies.
Gentle periodontal therapies reduce inflammation, protect bone, and support fresh breath. We pair precise diagnosis with home-care coaching to stabilize gums and safeguard long-term oral health.
Custom crowns restore strength, comfort, and appearance after fractures, decay, or root canals. We use durable materials and a careful fit to protect teeth and renew everyday function.
From planning to restoration, implants replace missing teeth with stability and confidence. We focus on bone health, precise placement, and lifelike crowns for dependable, natural-looking results.
