Meet Our Pediatric Dentists

We provide a wide range of dental and orthodontic care for children and adolescents. The composition of our staff gives us exceptional strength in all areas of diagnosis and treatment. Our doctors have been together since 1971. Frankly, few groups are as fortunate to have worked together for this length of time. To give you the full advantage of the combined skills within the practice, all children are seen by each of the doctors at various times for treatment, including orthodontic treatment and emergency care. In fact, one of us is always available in case your child has an accident.

The team approach enables each of us to become familiar with your child's needs. And as we consult on treatment, we share insights that are extremely beneficial. Please help by giving us your support in conversations with your children. We find that when parents understand the value of this approach and feel good about it, children accept it readily. Your help is appreciated.
