Dentistry is a wonderful field for me because I am able to provide people with immediate results that positively affect their health. I enjoy getting to know all of my patients, and helping them resolve their dental issues with as much comfort and satisfaction possible. The patients I treat are all very unique in their personalities and dental needs; although they all share a common desire - to have a beautiful, confident smile.

Continuing Education

My dedication is to my patients, and providing the highest quality care possible. I regularly attend continuing education courses to build upon my experience and my ability to deliver orthodontic care with as much comfort and efficiency as possible. I have received specialty training in anesthesia, and am able to help minimize my patients' fears of dentistry. I am a member of several prestigious dental associations, all of which provide me with year-round continuing education opportunities:

• American Dental Association
• American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry
• American Association of Implant Dentistry
• Georgia Dental Association
• American Society of Dental Anesthesiologists

Outside the Office

I reside in Statesboro with my wife, Lynn, and our dogs; a Chihuahua named Sparkle and five Dobermans, Zeke, Bella, Zoe, Spencer, and Bristol. We have a daughter, Lori, son-in-law, DeWayne, and a granddaughter named Edie Grace. In my free time, I love watching movies, reading science fiction books, fishing when it's warm enough, and raising Dobermans. I also collect books, both old dental books and current publications.
