Dentist DDS

 

I have been practicing dentistry since 2008. I followed up with more than three additional years of continuous training after dental school, studying implantology, oral surgery, and cosmetic dentistry. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking and traveling with my wife and am currently teaching my Labradoodle how to paddleboard.

What Our Patients Say About Us

Hannah was great! 5 🌟

I originally came here for a second opinion because another orthodontist recommended jaw surgery almost immediately. This office approached things completely differently and explained that braces combined with bite correction might solve most of the problem without surgery. I appreciated how thoroughly they reviewed my scans and answered questions without making me feel rushed. The office itself is modern and clean without feeling cold or overly corporate. One appointment started late due to an emergency patient ahead of me, but the receptionist kept everyone updated instead of leaving people sitting there confused. My treatment has been going smoothly for nearly a year now and the changes are honestly bigger than I expected. I can chew more comfortably now and my smile already looks noticeably more symmetrical in pictures.
