Our Approach

Part of our responsibility as dentists is to motivate and educate, as well as treat. We welcome the opportunity to encourage our patients, especially impressionable youth. Over the past 30 years, we have been a resource for many patients.

During the early years of my dental career in a changing and struggling inner city, I had to make a tough decision — to stay or to relocate to the suburbs. I was determined to stay in the city and make a difference. Today I’m proud of the choice I made. The city is starting to come back; my patients respect what I did; they continue to come; and their children and grandchildren are now patients.

Sedation Dentistry

You may suffer from dental anxiety, but you don’t want to suffer from tooth decay and gum disease either – or even potential heart disease that may be linked to poor dental hygiene. Oral conscious sedation dentistry allows the dentist to work more effectively by helping the patient become as comfortable as possible with the use of oral sedative medications.

No needles are required to administer oral conscious sedation. It’s safe and easy. You can breathe and speak on your own. Although you will not actually be asleep with the medication administered you probably will not remember much about the procedure afterwards.
