I believe that everyone’s smile should reflect his or her inner potential so I do my best to ensure that each one of those smiles is bright and healthy. I also believe every patient should enjoy optimal, comfortable dental function at each and every meal!”

Jeffrey J. Glavin, DDS
“I am truly passionate about providing exceptional, painless restorative dental care and its impact on the health and quality of life of my patients. As a child, I remember my fear of the dentist and having to chew on painful teeth, embarrassed by the black cavities in my front teeth and crooked smile. One compassionate dentist changed all that, alleviating my fears and restoring my diseased mouth. He taught me about cavities and prevention.
Later, braces gave me a comfortable, healthy, and confident smile. I want to do the same for my patients. I want to know their stories and goals for their health and smiles. I enjoy and understand the importance of spending time with my patients to educate them about the benefits of good oral health and prevention. I want to understand their concerns and create a customized plan to help meet their goals and objectives. Thereby providing long-lasting, comfortable, functional, confident smiles.”
-Jeffrey J. Glavin, DDS
