I graduated from UBC dental school in 1996 and since then have been striving to keep myself well educated on the newest techniques and materials.  I am a certified Invisalign provider and am well trained to provide Botox cosmetic.  As my career has progressed I have become more interested in cosmetic and complex restorative cases, including implants and I have made a commitment to continue my education in these fields.  However, I have also come to appreciate extended care and the importance of what we do now and how it will affect your health in the future.

I endeavor to provide the highest quality of care for all of my patients and I am honored that so many people trust me to be their dentist.  I work hard to get to know my patients and to individualize their treatment based on their dental needs and desires and to work within their levels of financial and personal comfort.

Prevention is often the key to great oral health.  Small problems are usually easier and less expensive and time consuming to fix and regular checkups help me to find and deal with things early.  I am also dedicated to keeping your mouth healthy, functional, pain-free and beautiful throughout your life.  Determining and assessing certain risk factors now will help us to keep you healthier in the future.

Sometimes, your treatment may require the particular services of certain dental specialists.  I have formed good working relationships with some of the best specialists in the lower mainland and work closely with them to coordinate your comprehensive and timely treatment.

If you haven’t been to a dentist for a number of years, or are nervous or embarrassed by the state of your teeth, don’t worry.  Making that first appointment for an exam or consultations is the most important step and the best thing you can do.  No problem is too big or too small to handle, and we can work together to find the best solution for you.
