Summary
I began my dental career after my GPR in 1987. I was employed by Mobile Dent Inc, a full service mobile dental practice, We serviced a largest around the Seattle PNW area including nursing homes, retirement communities and private residences to people with limited access to to quality dental care. I purchased my practice in 1991 and have been there until the present. My practice has evolved into a health, body and airway centered practice which leans heavily towards Gnathologic restorative and orthodontics (which emphasis on early intervention.) We perform a range of services from full perio (including laser), endodontics, removable prosthodontics and implant dentistry, Additional services include Botox and Fillers and FSM (Frequency Specific Micro-current) for head and neck pain and sleep dentistry. I've been involved with several study clubs since dental school, two which have been meeting for 38 years. During the 1990's and 2000's, we lectured around the country on Gnathologic treatment. I have also taught at the UW dental School (2000-2002) and the Shoreline Communality College Dental Hygiene Program from 1994-1998.
