My most important overall "product" is a happier and healthier patient.

Senior to dental care are overall medical concerns--I screen for these on a routine basis and will make a referral to see a physician if indicated. Besides not going to the dentist as often as they should, people often avoid seeing a medical doctor too.

Over the past few years I have made referrals to physicians which resulted in early enough intervention to save the lives of patients suffering from thyroid cancer and lymphoma. These patients had no symptoms noticable to them!

I screen for oral cancer as well and will make a referral to see an oral surgeon if follow up is indicated. Of course we also examine for bite and jaw problems, gum diseases, nose and throat problems, salivary problems, tooth problems and any appearance concerns you might have.

Sometimes "just a check up" can save your life. Knowing this, we do not schedule for "just a cleaning."

Our initial check-up special includes comprehensive examination, x-ray examination using panoramic and bitewing films and consultation about your overall present state of general and oral health.
