Whether you are considering treatment with me or already preparing for an upcoming procedure, I appreciate you taking the time to learn more about my background, my work, and the team that will be involved in your care.

I earned my Doctor of Dental Medicine from the University of Pennsylvania, graduating with Honors in Clinical Dentistry. I then continued my education at Harvard School of Dental Medicine, where I completed specialty training in Periodontics and earned a Master of Medical Sciences in Oral Biology. My training in restorative dentistry, periodontics, and oral biology continues to shape the way I approach complex treatment today.

A significant part of my work involves dental implants and full-mouth rehabilitation. These cases often require more than a single procedure. They require a clear understanding of how the teeth, gums, supporting bone, bite, and final restoration must work together. My restorative background allows me to plan surgical care with the final result in mind, whether I am replacing a single tooth or helping rebuild an entire smile.

My clinical focus also includes the treatment of periodontal disease, gingival grafting, guided bone regeneration, sinus augmentation, platelet-rich fibrin therapy, tori removal, exposure of impacted teeth, and surgically facilitated orthodontic treatment. I work closely with restorative dentists and orthodontists when treatment involves multiple disciplines, allowing each phase of care to be planned as part of a larger, coordinated treatment.

For patients who experience dental anxiety or require more involved surgical care, I offer IV sedation when appropriate. This allows many procedures to be completed in a comfortable and carefully monitored setting.

I have intentionally built my periodontal practice within a select group of dental offices across the city. Rather than working with a different support system at each location, I assembled a dedicated periodontal team that travels with me from practice to practice. Patients receive care from the same people, following the same clinical protocols and standards, regardless of which office they visit.

That consistency allows us to provide a level of care that extends well beyond the procedure itself. Before treatment begins, we carefully review each patient’s medical history, medications, existing health conditions, dental needs, and long-term risk factors. We approach periodontal care as part of the patient’s overall health, not as an isolated dental problem. From consultation and treatment planning through surgery, recovery, and maintenance, our team remains closely involved and available to our patients.

I may perform the surgery, but meaningful patient care is never the work of one person. It comes from a team that knows the patient, follows the details, communicates clearly, and remains present throughout the process. That is the practice we have worked carefully to build, and it is the standard we bring to every patient we care for.
