A neighborhood office that feels like home. The little things add up — and our Joshua team has been quietly perfecting them for years.

Made in our own dental lab instead of shipped to an outside lab for weeks.

Intraoral scanner
Lower dose than traditional film, with sharp digital images.

What sets us apart
Patients routinely tell us we said they didn't need work another office had pushed for years. That's not a sales tactic — it's just how we practice. If you don't need it, we'll tell you. If you do, we'll explain why and what your options are.

"Dr. B" to his patients — gentle, reassuring, and the reason a lot of nervous folks finally feel at home at the dentist.
Known for taking the time to listen and explain — and for telling patients the honest truth about what they do and don't need.
Patient, thorough, and easy to talk to — especially good with kids and anxious adults who tend to dread the dentist.
