As someone who has dealt with dental anxiety herself, I get it. The dental office isn’t exactly a fun place to be. You’re lying down, usually in the dark about what’s happening, pain can be involved, and the feeling of control goes right out the window.
A huge part of what I do is making that experience different. Not only does that include transparency and education, but making you feel in control and explaining the Why behind what we’re doing. We have blankets and headphones and pillows too 😊

A more thorough follow up on my last post about corporate dentistry. Dentistry is becoming more and more corporatized (similar to a lot of medical and veterinary offices), and many times it's not for the best.

How Corporate Dentistry and Private Equity firms are changing the dental world and your oral health

Most smiles don’t need a full cosmetic makeover to catch your eye. Our patient had four restorations needing replacement and wanted to touch up his smile without a full makeover. We placed four veneers that had intentional texture, asymmetry, and characterization that his old restorations had. He wanted everything brighter but not Hollywood. Here’s where we ended up— a healthier, elevated version of him

Dentistry has changed a lot in the last decade.

Corporate groups now make up a growing share of the industry, and many new dentists start their careers in those systems.

That doesn’t automatically mean bad care, but it does change how dentistry is delivered.

More pressure. More volume. Less time.

I chose a different path. One built on trust, human connection, and treating patients like family. It’s not always the easy route, but I’m hopeful that patients see the difference

Just a lil upgrade 😁

This patient was referred for a single central match after his previous restoration had failed three times. We used a minimal prep approach with a prep guide, custom stained emax, and addressed his underlying bite issue 🎨

Captured immediately post-cementation and pre hygiene appt—tissue a little inflamed, but the blend is already there! So happy with the results. (And obviously cemented under rubber dam with teflon , and soft light diffusers for the after photo !!)

Spent the weekend in one of the most research-driven, hands-on courses I’ve ever taken—diving into the latest evidence on minimally invasive dentistry, bonding protocols, cosmetic veneers, and dental photography with and . In a space often filled with misinformation and trend-driven advice, it was incredibly valuable to learn the true science behind today’s materials and techniques. Already started applying what I learned today! Thank you for nerding out the whole weekend with us 🦷 🤓

Can’t believe this is the same smile! Upgraded the shape, length and color of our wonderful patient’s teeth with a combination of porcelain veneers and crowns. Nightguard to come!🦷

Lower teeth need love too! A small piece of a bigger puzzle where we raised the vertical with a combination of crowns and an RPD. I temporized this patient with composite off a diagnostic waxup putty matrix, while he had crown lengthening done by . Long time coming but well worth 😁

After decades in the airline industry, our patient’s stressful job did a number on his teeth. We restored his entire upper arch by raising his VDO with full coverage crowns. We made sure his bite was comfortable and smile was beautiful by having him in temporaries for 3 months before converting to final. Happy patient, happy doctor 😊 swipe to see his new smile!
