I understand that seeing a dentist can sometimes be a bit daunting, but I wish to make my patients feel as comfortable as possible. In particular, I really enjoy treating kids and I think it’s incredibly important to foster genuine relationships in order to create a positive attitude towards oral health at a young age.

Dentistry is forever evolving and modernizing, and as such, I aim to stay up to date in my training. Cosmetic dentistry is of particular interest to me as I believe everyone deserves to have a healthy smile they are proud to show off. I would also love to delve further into special needs dentistry as it can significantly improve one’s quality of life and confidence.
