Here at Elite Dental Studios we are celebrating 15 years of dedicated service in our beautiful community! It is hard to believe that so many years have passed us by in a seemingly short amount of time. The journey wasn't always a smooth one and as expected we've had to deal with many obstacles and growing pains along the way. However, through great dedication and hard work we've been able to not only overcome but also to grow stronger and smarter. I am extremely proud and grateful to my amazing wife and partner, Lucy and all of our wonderful support staff. I feel that much like life in general, treating others with respect and care and always doing the right thing will result in success in the long run. I also attribute a constant emphasis on quality of care to our success over the years.
Our purpose has always been;
- To help each and every patient reach optimum dental health through education and state-of-the-art techniques in a warm and comfortable setting.
- To make everyone in our dental home feel better about themselves by improving their quality of life and raising their self esteem.
- to provide such a pleasurable experience, where everyone feels so well taken care of that they would enthusiastically invite others to experience our practice.
Lastly I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our friends, colleagues and patients for their support through all these years. We couldn't have done it without you and we will strive to continue to serve you for many years to come!
Thank you.

Dental FAQs
Here are some frequently asked questions in a dental setting;
1- I'm interested in changing the look of my teeth, what options are available?
A thorough exam including some X-rays would be necessary to properly evaluate your options. Typically a few options are available depending on the current condition of your teeth. These are orthodontics(Invisalign), professional in-office and/or take home whitening treatments, simple bondings, porcelain veneers and/or crowns.
2- I need to go to a new dentist. how can I find one?
Your best bet is always word of mouth. you should ask family, friends and colleagues for a recommendation. A reputable practice will offer a tour of the office. This is a good chance to meet the doctor and staff and to observe the physical settings. A progressive office will have a website, Facebook page, online reviews, blogs and etc. Also try to consider a few different practices before making a decision.
3- How safe are dental X-rays?
Advances in dentistry over the years have lead to the low radiation levels emitted by dental X-rays. Some of the improvements are new digital X-ray machines that limit the radiation beam to the small area being X-rayed, higher speed X-ray films that require shorter exposure time compared with older film speeds to get the same results. In addition, federal law requires that X-ray machines be checked for accuracy and safety every two years, with some states requiring more frequent checks.
4- Should I be using a mouth rinse?
Using a fluoridated mouth rinse in conjunction with regular brushing and flossing is always a good idea. topical fluorides strengthen tooth structure and help in preventing cavities.
5- How important is it to floss?
In my experience there really is no substitute for regular flossing. If you are only brushing your teeth, then you are missing ~30% of tooth surfaces. These are the areas between the teeth that are constantly exposed to plaque. Lack of flossing can lead to gum disease and cavities.
