Bio

I have been practicing dentistry since 1994 in the suburbs of Atlanta and have been very focussed on learning new skills to take even better care of the people who have come to trust me to care for them.


I received my DDS degree at Virginia Commonwealth University's School of Dentistry. I received a Mastership of the Academy of General Dentistry in 2006 and was one of the youngest women ever to receive this award. It is over 1100 hours in all areas of general dentistry. My education over the past 20 years have been in the areas of comprehensive, cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry. Having advanced training in implants and cosmetics through several universities provides the best possible care for me to take care of my patients.

    Linda King has posted a blog entry: Lindsay Lohan's new smile

    Lindsay Lohan claims to have had zoom whitening performed on her teeth. While this procedure can whiten teeth, it cannot magically grow tooth structure. Her smile was dingy, yellow with chips and spaces. Zoom is awesome but it cannot close in spaces or make them longer. It really dehydrates the

    How does tooth decay damage teeth?

    Teeth will actually melt away. Tooth decay can come in a wide variety of colors from white, brown, orange and black. Acids are created either directly from certain beverages, foods and snacks or indirectly as a waste byproduct from the bacteria in your mouth that consumes carbohydrates. The acids

    Why is facial analysis important in cosmetic dentistry?

    The answer is - it depends. It depends largely on the state of disease that the tooth was in before it has had a root canal. If it is badly infected, the answer is most likely probably so. Bacteria have been encapsulated inside of the tooth and have been affecting the bone supporting the tooth. The
