Tim combines roles: he’s a dentist as well as the practice owner, so he focuses not just on providing clients with high quality cosmetic and restorative dentistry, but also on developing the vision to see the practice constantly evolve and improve.

This is work for more than just one, though, and he’s proud to work with a great team of people. In his spare time, Tim plays sax in a big band and is building an eccentric 3-wheel kit car for fun.
