About My Practice
What is unique about your practice?
Infinite Smiles is a sophisticated fusion of science and art so it has every single technology that is on the cutting edge of dentistry in one building—and we use this technology in every aspect of our patients’ care. We’re completely digital. That is unique. And while the equipment we have is important, the training we have undertaken to use that equipment is equally important.
What is your overall practice philosophy?
We don’t focus just on how things look. First and foremost, we make sure the smile is healthy and we reinforce that through aesthetics so that patients get excited about their smiles and are motivated to maintain them. We also believe in giving our patients all the options and push ourselves to find better ways to treat them instead of getting comfortable and trapped by older methods.

Dentistry is going digital
- In what ways is dentistry like art?
The ideal smile is a custom creation.
A dentist must take into account the
patient’s age, facial contours, skin
tone, gum line and expectations.
Dentists use an array of tools to cast,
drill, file and perfect each dental
restoration. It requires a mastery of
precision—the very definition of art
