Mission Statement

The confidence you place in us is a responsibility we take seriously. Our goal is to work with you so that the dental health you want is the dental health you get. We want to eliminate active dental disease, prevent future disease, reduce the need for future treatment, and develop a plan for your lifelong dental health and a pleasing appearance.

Whatever your needs, we will take the time to create a personalized plan that makes sense for you.

Treatment Philosophy 

Joel feels that early on his patients should have the information necessary to guide their dental care choices. He works with them to develop a plan for lifelong dental health, restoring and maintaining health, comfort and a pleasing appearance. 

Joel is particularly interested in treatment for patients who have not been to a dentist for a while and patients whose apprehension is a barrier to treatment that must be addressed. He would be glad to review his before and after case photos of the many complex and cosmetic cases he has treated and discuss your specific circumstances.

About Our Office

Your comfort is important to us. All of our treatment areas have comfortable patient chairs, soothing natural light and relaxing music. If you need anything  (a blanket, neck pillow, etc.) please let our friendly staff know.

We constantly strive to evaluate new innovations in dentistry and incorporate those we feel can benefit our patients.
