About
Bio
I am a prosthodontist which means that I can reconsturct your entire mouth from teeth to jaws to smiles. I want to be able to make a difference in peoples' lives by changing the way they view themselves. You can change and recreate smiles, straighten and whiten teeth and change entire persons feeling about themselves. This feeling, for me is very special and that is why I chose this speciality. As for a little personal information about me. I grew up in Athens, Greece. Recived an entire dental education there before I started in US at Tufts University. I have two children and enjoy traveling with my wife, Lin. I love cooking and EATING, as well as travel, Pandora, good resturants and humor!
