He has devoted himself to providing state of the art, minimally invasive care with a gentle touch. Dr, Eric has been trained in the use of today's best dental materials and techniques, and is well versed in all aspects of dentistry from implants and veneers to root canals, extractions, special needs, and sedation dentistry. His passion is listening to his patients' concerns, desires, and ultimate treatment goals and then using them to create an optimal plan for definitive and long lasting dental health.
