Not all veneers are created equal.

I’ve seen a lot of “after” photos online that just don’t sit right with me—blocky, uniform, flat, way too white.

To me, a good veneer looks like it belongs in your face. It reflects light naturally. It flows with your lips, your eyes, your personality. It has character.

It’s more than just white teeth—it’s about harmony, shape, detail, and subtlety.

That’s what I aim for with every smile I design.

It’s not about doing “good enough” work.

It’s about knowing that what I created is going to make someone’s life better—today, tomorrow, and 10 years from now.

I’m not interested in being just another dentist. I want my work to mean something.
That moment when someone looks in the mirror and tears up—or walks out and their spouse gives them the biggest smile—that’s what fuels me.

I’m proud to bring this level of care to Springfield. And I’m grateful every time someone trusts me with their smile.

Do you like dad jokes? I sure do 🤣🤣

Social media makes it look easy: white veneers, perfect smiles, instant transformation. But what they don’t show you is the cost—not just the money, but the long-term commitment.

Veneers usually mean removing healthy tooth structure. They’re not reversible, and they’ll need to be redone every 10–20 years.

If you’re 23 and wanting to look like an influencer, that’s a big decision. My rule? I don’t do anything I wouldn’t feel good about doing to my own family.

There’s a time and a place for cosmetic work—but it should come from a place of confidence, not comparison. And you should always know the full story before saying yes.

I’m not here to just change a tooth—I’m here to help people feel whole.

We’ve all had that feeling: a stain on your shirt, a zit before a big event. You’re distracted, self-conscious, not fully present. Now imagine feeling like that every day because of your smile.

That’s what drives me. I want to give people their confidence back—without them worrying if others can “tell.” When it’s done right, people don’t see veneers. They just see you.

If you laugh you loose! 😂

A smile opens doors. It’s the first thing people see when they meet you—your kids, your coworkers, your spouse. And for a lot of people who come into our office, smiling is the one thing they’ve been avoiding.

But I’ve seen time and time again—after someone gets their smile back, their whole presence changes. Their beard’s trimmed, they’ve got new clothes, they carry themselves differently. It’s like you’re watching someone come back to life.

This work we do—it’s not just about teeth. It’s about helping people feel like themselves again. That’s what keeps me coming back every day.

One of the most common things I hear is, “I want veneers, but I don’t want them to look fake.” And honestly, I get it.

A lot of the stuff you see online looks unnatural—bright white, bulky, kind of cookie-cutter. That’s not what we do here. We slow things down. We take time to design a smile that actually fits your face—your personality—and use labs that understand the details.

I care way more about quality and craftsmanship than speed or shortcuts. If you're nervous about looking too “done,” I’d love to show you how we create natural, subtle smiles that still turn heads for the right reasons.

What happens if you never floss again?
Well… you probably won’t die.
(But your teeth might suffer 😅)

Here’s the truth:
🧠 30% of your tooth surface is BETWEEN teeth
🧽 Flossing hits what brushing misses
🦴 Skipping it leads to bone loss, gum recession, cavities

Floss once or twice a day. Your gums will thank you.
And you’ll avoid the “peanut butter fingers” situation.

“Dad, what are the strongest days of the week?”
“…Saturday and Sunday. Because the rest are just weekdays.” 😅

Yes, that came from my 7-year-old.
Yes, I love dad jokes.
And yes—you still need to brush before bed.

Don’t let your smile become a weak day. 🪥

💻 We start with the crown first
🦷 Then we digitally plan the implant to fit seamlessly
🖨️ Printed on the spot in 15-20 minutes
🎯 Accuracy is unreal—like, thread-the-needle precise

Also… yes, we did 3D print a snake for my 7-year-old the same morning. 🐍

This is next-level dentistry. Come check it out.

Think your teeth are too yellow?
You might be comparing them to something that isn’t real.

Truth is—natural teeth aren’t pure white.
They’ve got warmth, depth, and a little bit of yellow. And that’s totally normal.

Here’s what actually affects the color:
☕ Coffee, tea, wine, berries
📅 Age and enamel wear
🦷 Internal staining from trauma or medication

Yes, whitening can help break up stains and brighten your smile.
But wanting “refrigerator white” might mean it’s time to talk veneers—not just bleach.

Your smile is probably healthier than you think.
Let’s focus on that—and keep it real.
