  • Comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning for functional aesthetic dentistry
  • Advanced removable prosthodontics
  • Multidisciplinary treatment of complex cases
  • Adult orthodontic solutions
  • The adult orthodontic/restorative/implant interface
  • Tooth surface loss/restorative/aesthetic interface
