A trip to the orthodontist doesn't need to be boring or uncomfortable. We love to see proud Buckeye
smiles and offer our patients quality care and choice in a fun atmosphere. Sometimes traditional
orthodontic braces provide the best results but for other patients, cosmetic braces such as Damon
clear and Invisalign are a better choice for their lifestyle. Children, teens, and adults are
welcome to visit us for a complimentary exam as part of their overall dental care routine. We also
provide relief for TMJ / TMD joint disorders and orthodontic emergencies. Call or visit our website
today to see how we can help you love your smile!
I attended The Ohio State University and hold both a Doctorate of Dental Surgery and a Master of Science, and completed a residency in Orthodontics. However, my formal schooling was just a jumping off point. Oral healthcare, and orthodontics in particular, is a constantly changing field. With new technologies, changes in treatment processes, and emerging materials becoming available, it’s essential I remain current. This ensures my patients receive the highest level of care, and have access to the best treatments, which deliver the strongest outcome.
Each year I travel across the country, attending continuing education meetings and conferences, as well as participating in hands-on demonstrations, taught by the leaders in our profession. I also keep up with the latest research findings and discussions within our community, through the relevant journals.

Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a condition in which your breathing stops periodically during sleep, as many as 20-30 times per hour. Each time you stop breathing in your sleep, the resulting lack of oxygen alerts your brain, which temporarily wakes you up to restart proper breathing. Since the time spent awake is so brief, most people with sleep apnea don't remember it, and many feel like they are getting a good night's sleep when, in fact, they are not. The constant wake-sleep, wake-sleep cycle prevents those with sleep apnea from achieving deep sleep, resulting in a constant drowsy feeling during the day.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is surgery to correct a wide spectrum of diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws, and the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region. It is a recognized international surgical specialty, and it is one of the nine specialties of dentistry recognized by the American Dental Association.
