What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a practice where I can deliver comprehensive, technology-forward dentistry—using CEREC and iTero—while building strong patient communication, preventive education, and streamlined workflows with a supportive team.

I’m a General Dentist with a decade of experience providing comprehensive care at four busy private practice locations in Chicago. I focus on delivering extensive restorative, cosmetic, periodontal, orthodontic, and fixed/removable prosthodontic treatment while keeping communication clear and patient-centered.

I use CEREC technology daily for same-day restorations, case planning, and patient education, and I rely on iTero technology daily for case planning and Invisalign. I also supported integrating both systems into normal workflows for existing and new doctors.

I’m especially experienced in comprehensive Invisalign treatment for adult malocclusion and TMJ discomfort, as well as treatment planning for cosmetic treatment and veneers. I plan, manage, and execute treatment plans for new, existing, and emergency patients, and I’ve helped onboard, educate, and train clinical staff and new doctors.
