New and returning patients welcome. Any PPO or Medicare dental plan accepted.
Philosophy
“Your mouth is part of your body.”
Dr. B believes that taking care of your body is the best investment you can make — and that dental care should support your overall health, not work against it. That conviction shapes the way she practices: she favors the least invasive treatment that will last, chooses materials with your whole health in mind, and never places mercury amalgam fillings.
She is equally committed to the person in the chair. Before she recommends anything, she reviews your health history, looks at your X-rays and photos with you, and explains every option — conventional and conservative — in plain language, including cost. If you have sensitivities to dental materials or a preference such as fluoride-free care, she builds it into your plan.
- Listens first, treats second
- Mercury-free, tooth-colored fillings
- Metal-free crowns where they fit
- Protective steps when replacing old silver fillings
- Clear explanations and written estimates
- Gentle care for anxious patients

A little more about Dr. B
When she is not at the practice, Dr. B is usually with her husband, their son and the family golden retriever. She is a CrossFit regular and a dancer, with a soft spot for fashion and interior design — the same eye for detail she brings to cosmetic work.
Her patients often say the same thing after their first visit: they did not expect a dentist to make them feel this relaxed.
★★★★★
The doctor was awesome and knowledgeable, very helpful and honest. She is people-focused, not money-focused, and concerned about her patients’ well-being as well as their finances.
