Dr. Whalen has a passion for the art that is dentistry and enjoys all aspects of dentistry, especially cosmetic dentistry, implant dentistry, root canal therapy, and orthodontics. He treats patients of all ages and provides dentistry from a patient-centered approach. Only after listening to his patient’s desires does he share information with them on all of their options. The last step is creating a treatment plan that addresses immediate needs and overall oral health goals.
