Additional Information

I am a dentist licensed to practice in the State of California. I am a Diplomate of the American Board of Prosthodontics. I received my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Southern California School of Dentistry in 1984. In 1986, I received my certificate in prosthodontics from the University of Southern California School of Dentistry. Prosthodontics is a dental specialty pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation and maintenance of the oral function, comfort, appearance and health of patients with clinical conditions associated with missing or deficient teeth and/or oral and maxillofacial tissues using biocompatible substitutes. My practice includes but is not limited to, diagnosis of natural teeth requiring restoration and root canal treatments, evaluation and diagnosis of fractured teeth to determine the prognosis of teeth that can be maintained as opposed to removal of teeth and replacement with dental implants or removable prosthetics, restoration utilizing crowns, veneers, bridges, and other restorative treatments involving natural teeth and implants. I am a Fellow of the American College of Prosthodontists. I am a member of the Pacific Coast Society of Prosthodontics. In addition, I am the President of the Western Prosthodontic Study Club, a multidisciplinary study group devoted to literature review and treatment planning, and I am a past associate clinical professor at the University of Southern California in the department of Continuing Education. I maintain a full-time private practice limited to Prosthodontics in Encino, California. The remainder of my education, professional experience, teaching positions and activities, academic honors, and publications are listed on my curriculum vitae.
