Our Dental Colleagues
Referrals
Every dentist is different, every practice unique. We realized after a number of years of practicing general dentistry, what we really found most rewarding is restoring health to the most challenging situation, whether single tooth or entire dentition. We have studied with the best and brightest in the field and focus on complex restorative and esthetic cases. We take more time with fewer patients to ensure thorough planning. Our on-site conebeam scanner enhances and facilitates diagnosis and treatment planning through three dimensional imaging. We believe in a true interdisciplinary approach where ongoing communication is essential.
Many of our cases come through referrals from general dentists and specialists throughout the Baltimore-Washington area and the Eastern Shore…from professionals who know our work and know the types of cases they do and do not want to tackle.
If you consider sending us a referral, we will respect your patient relationships and keep you well informed throughout their treatment. We will advocate their ongoing care with your practice when their treatment with us is complete.
If you have a case you’d like to discuss, or if you’d like to get to know us before you consider a referral, call our office at 410-956-5555. We look forward to speaking with you!
Continuing Education Providers
In addition to diagnosing and treating the most challenging restorative cases, we find sharing the skills and knowledge we have achieved with other dentists extremely rewarding. Individually and as a team, we are frequently asked to deliver presentations to various groups. We are approved instructors for Nobel Biocare and BioHorizons and hold our own AGD PACE provider approval.
We are available to speak on the following topics:
|
• Esthetically Driven Treatment Planning • Esthetic Dentistry • Guided Implant Surgery • Occlusion • Dental Photography • Restoring Worn Dentition • Removable Prosthodontics |
• Utilizing PowerPoint for Patient and Lab • Communication Utilization of CT Scans and 3-D Diagnostics in Guided Implant Dentistry • Other Implant Topics such as Immediate Provisionalization, Encode Abutments and Locator Attachments |
Please email or call our office (410-956-5555) if this is of interest to you.

Mentoring
Currently we are Mentors at the Scottsdale Center for Dentistry's Spear Institute, guiding course participants through the Facially Generated Treatment Planning/Occlusion curriculum.
Locally, we offer an Occlusal Load Mentoring Program and give guidance to other dentists who have desired to "convert" cases to immediately loaded prostheses.
