Hear from Our Customers
You know that feeling when you catch yourself covering your mouth when you laugh? Or when you avoid smiling in photos because you’re self-conscious about your teeth? That stops here.
At our practice, we understand that your smile affects everything from your confidence at work to how comfortable you feel at family gatherings. When you leave our Latham office, you’re not just walking out with healthier teeth – you’re walking out ready to smile without thinking twice about it.
Whether you need a simple cleaning, cosmetic improvements, or complex restorative work, we focus on results that make a real difference in your daily life. No more hiding your smile. No more avoiding photos. Just the confidence that comes with knowing your teeth look and feel their best.
We have built a solid reputation throughout Latham and Albany County by focusing on what actually matters to patients – quality care delivered without the unnecessary drama or pressure tactics you might experience elsewhere.
We’ve invested in advanced technology not because it’s trendy, but because it genuinely improves your experience. Digital impressions eliminate messy molds. Same-day crowns mean fewer appointments. Advanced imaging catches problems early when they’re easier and less expensive to treat.
Located right here in Latham, we’ve become the dental home for families throughout Rensselaer County who appreciate straightforward, professional care. We respect your time, your intelligence, and your budget – which is why patients keep coming back and referring their friends and family.
Your first visit starts with us actually listening to your concerns and goals. We use digital imaging and modern diagnostic tools to get a complete picture of your oral health, then explain what we found in language you can understand – no dental jargon.
If you need treatment, we’ll discuss all your options clearly, including timeframes and costs upfront. Take time to think about it. Get a second opinion if you want. We’re not going anywhere, and we want you to feel confident about your decision.
During treatment, we use techniques and technology designed to minimize discomfort and reduce appointment times. Many procedures that used to require multiple visits can now be completed in one appointment. After treatment, you get clear instructions and our availability for any questions during recovery.
We’re not done with you once the procedure is finished. We want to ensure you heal properly and maintain your results for years to come.

Our Latham practice offers comprehensive dental services for patients of all ages. From routine cleanings and preventive care to advanced cosmetic dentistry and full mouth reconstruction, we handle it all under one roof.
Preventive services include thorough cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and oral cancer screenings. For cosmetic improvements, we provide professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, and complete smile makeovers using digital smile design technology.
Restorative treatments encompass dental crowns, bridges, implants, and dentures. We also handle orthodontic needs with clear aligners and traditional braces. Emergency dental care is available for those unexpected situations that can’t wait for a regular appointment.
What makes us different in Albany County is our commitment to using technology that actually improves your experience, not just looks impressive. We’ve found that patients appreciate shorter appointments, more comfortable procedures, and better results – which is exactly what our investment in modern equipment delivers.
We work with most major dental insurance plans and will verify your benefits before any treatment begins. Our office staff handles all insurance submissions and follows up on claims to maximize your benefits – that’s one less thing for you to worry about.
For patients without insurance, we offer flexible payment options including treatment phasing to spread costs over time. We believe financial concerns shouldn’t prevent you from getting necessary dental care, so we work with each patient individually to find solutions that fit their budget.
You’ll always receive detailed treatment estimates upfront so there are no financial surprises. We want you to make informed decisions about your care, and that includes understanding all costs involved.
Yes, we provide emergency dental care for situations like severe tooth pain, broken teeth, lost fillings, knocked-out teeth, or injuries from accidents. We understand dental emergencies are both stressful and painful, so we prioritize getting you seen quickly.
During business hours, we often accommodate same-day emergency appointments. We keep slots available specifically for urgent situations. After hours, you can reach our emergency line for guidance on managing your situation until we can see you.
Common emergencies we handle include dental trauma, severe infections, broken crowns or bridges, and sports-related injuries. Don’t suffer through dental pain – call us and we’ll get you the relief you need as quickly as possible.
Our cosmetic dentistry services include professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, tooth-colored fillings, and complete smile makeovers. We use digital smile design technology that lets you see potential results before any treatment begins.
Professional teeth whitening can be done in-office for immediate results or with custom take-home trays for gradual improvement. Porcelain veneers are ideal for addressing multiple cosmetic concerns like chips, gaps, stains, or irregular shapes in a single treatment.
For comprehensive smile transformations, we create customized makeover plans that might combine veneers, crowns, whitening, and minor orthodontic work. Each plan is tailored to your facial features, lifestyle, and specific goals to ensure natural-looking results that enhance your overall appearance.
The complete dental implant process typically takes 3-6 months from start to finish, though this timeline varies based on individual healing and whether additional procedures like bone grafting are needed. The actual implant placement appointment usually takes about an hour.
After implant placement, there’s a healing period of 3-4 months while the implant integrates with your jawbone. During this time, you’ll have a temporary restoration if the implant is in a visible area. Once healing is complete, we attach the permanent crown, which is custom-made to match your natural teeth perfectly.
Some patients qualify for immediate load implants, where a temporary crown is placed the same day as the implant surgery. We’ll evaluate your specific situation during consultation to determine the best approach for your case and timeline needs.
Your first appointment begins with completing health history forms and discussing your dental concerns, goals, and any anxiety you might have about dental treatment. We then perform a comprehensive examination including digital X-rays, oral cancer screening, and assessment of your bite and jaw function.
We’ll review our findings with you immediately, explaining any issues we discovered in plain language and discussing all treatment options available. If you need work done, we provide a detailed treatment plan with costs and timeframes before scheduling any procedures – no pressure to decide on the spot.
The entire first visit typically takes about an hour. If you’re experiencing pain or have an urgent concern, we can often address immediate needs during this same appointment. You’ll leave feeling informed and comfortable with your path forward.
Absolutely. We welcome patients of all ages and specialize in family dentistry, creating a comfortable environment where children develop positive associations with dental care that last a lifetime. Many families throughout Albany County choose us because everyone can be seen in the same practice.
For young patients, we focus on preventive care, proper oral hygiene education, and early intervention when needed. We provide services like dental sealants and fluoride treatments that are especially beneficial for children’s developing teeth.
Our gentle approach and modern techniques help reduce anxiety for both children and parents. We often schedule family appointments on the same day for convenience, and we take time to explain procedures in age-appropriate ways so kids understand what’s happening and why it’s important for their health.
