I am married to Polly and a father to Matthew and Grace. I am active member and on the church council at Faith Lutheran Church. For fun I play hockey and the flute. I also enjoy golf, fishing and skiing.I graduated from the University of Michigan in 1987 with my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. I am dedicated to providing the highest quality and appropriate cosmetic, sedation and general dentistry in the most comfortable and gentle way possible. Because being a dentist has been a lifelong dream, I have a passion for the profession. I enjoys helping people feel better about their smiles and therefore their self-image with dental implant and cosmetic dentistry.Since the profession is constantly changing for cosmetic dentists, it is necessary to stay on the cutting edge of technology. This requires a lifelong commitment to learning, which is evident by the thousands of hours of continuing education I take. I am a member of the American Dental Association, Michigan Dental Association, Macomb Dental Society, Academy of General Dentistry, the Christian Dental Society and president of the Michigan chapter of the Crown Council, an international group of leading dentists. I am also a member of the Sterling Heights Chamber of Commerce and Sunrise Networkin Group.I enjoy “giving back” by participating in service missions where I performs dentistry on those who don't have access to dental care. For the past 8 years, I have joined up with members of my church, Faith Lutheran Church to treat children and adults in Les Cayes, Haiti.I am a contributing author to the "Ask The Dentist" articles in the Macomb and Oakland counties "Senior Living News" and the Advisor-Source Newspapers. These are distributed in the Macomb, Shelby Township, Clinton Township and Sterling Heights Michigan area. If you have any questions for me, please feel free to write to me. I encourage questions to promote education for everyone.Specialties: Porcelain crowns Porcelain veneersFixed bridgesCustom partial and complete dentures using porcelain teethRoot canalsGum treatment and cleaningsHeadache treatmentTooth Extractions and oral surgeryDigital Dental x-raysImplantsDream DentistryGentle
