I know that going to the dentist, (and the Oral Surgeon at that!), can be a nerve wracking experience. My mission is to provide as positive experience as possible whether you are having a tooth extracted or something even more complex. My team and I are committed to provide a caring and comfortable atmosphere while offering multiple levels of anesthesia to cater to your needs and safety.
