I love being a dentist and serving my patients. I am blessed to be able to help people while doing something I truly love and am passionate about. It is so rewarding to experience a patient’s renewed confidence or hear “I wish I had done this years ago!”
A big part of our success is that we listen. When I meet a patient, I am always sure to ask what their goals are for their mouth. Whether maintaining health, replacing a single tooth, or starting fresh with a smile makeover, I want to know what is important to YOU – then my job is to help get you there. I am passionate about determining exactly what my patients want, and then delivering it at the highest level.
Getting to that level requires skill, experience, and a commitment to continued learning. This is one of the reasons I was so excited to join Bedford Dental Care in 2014. I absolutely LOVE collaborating with such an amazing, committed team of dentists, each with their own strengths (seriously, the team here is awesome). My greatest emphasis is on restorative dentistry and orthodontics utilizing Invisalign clear aligners. I have been extremely fortunate to have studied under and been mentored by some of the brightest minds in those fields.
When I’m not at the office, I’m spending time with my family. My amazing wife Maggie is a hair stylist who now stays at home with our five sons (yes, you read that right) – Henry, Theo, Oliver, Sam, and Cole. We spend a lot of time hiking local trails, running around at the beach, playing at the park, etc – anything outside to get their energy out! The boys and I have taken on a few very beginner level projects around the house, which helps to keep us busy and out of trouble. I also enjoy cooking, especially grilling and smoking meats and making sushi and poke bowls. Our family is active in our church and in the foster care community.
I want to know what is important to you – then my job is to help get you there.
I am especially proud of two recent accomplishments:
- Earned my Fellowship from the Academy of General Dentistry, an award fewer than 6% of dentists in the US and Canada have received.
- Achieved Platinum status with Invisalign – the only general dentistry practice in Southern NH, and one of only two offices in the entire state at this level.
