A Personal Note:
After 8 years in a high-volume, insurance driven dental office I knew that it was time to develop the kind of practice I could believe in and that would genuinely serve my patients well. When I opened Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry in 2001, it was with a commitment to patient-centered, comprehensive care. Neither of us is content to work within the status quo for dentistry and we continually seek out opportunities to study with professionals from around the world who are on the cutting edge in our industry.

The value of our more holistic approach has hit very close to home. My sister-in-law had suffered from temporomandibular disorder (TMJD) for years and juggled numerous medications to ease the pain. Conventional dental approaches (night guard/splint methods) had failed her and a physical therapist had told her that surgery and continued physical therapy would be her only options. As our knowledge of advanced dental care has grown, we were able to conservatively restore her lower back teeth to successfully treat her. She is now pain and drug free without the surgery or ongoing medical attention.

Having the time to really listen, the expertise to appropriately diagnose, and the equipment and skill to offer truly comprehensive medical care has given me a renewed enthusiasm for dentistry. I really like being in a position to make a difference for not only my sister-in-law, but others like her as well. I genuinely believe that Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry begins where traditional dentistry leaves off.
