The emphasis in the Red Coat Road office is on lasting dental care with a focus on prevention and then creating fabulous smiles. Our whole approach is to listen to you – to treat the whole person from all perspectives. We respect both mainstream and alternative viewpoints.

Dr. Epstein is dedicated to keeping abreast of the latest developments in dental technology. The result is that you can better participate in your own dental care by viewing your teeth using digital images.

No more craning your neck to see inside your mouth in a tiny mirror. Instead, you get onscreen video close-ups of your smile. Dr. Epstein also utilizes digital x-ray technology, which exposes patients to less radiation than traditional x-rays.

Dr. Epstein regularly attends post-doctoral courses in scientific research in dentistry, with a particular interest in dental implants and emerging dental technology.

Dr. Epstein has been restoring implants for over 2 decades. Working with a team of prominent oral surgeons and periodontists, Dr. Epstein carefully plans this complex process.

Dr. Epstein is particularly interested in making your trip to the dentist comfortable and pain-free, both during and after treatment. He prides himself on his painless dentistry techniques for pain management, as well as sedation dentistry methods for those patients requiring additional help managing stress.

We administer local anesthesia, both novocain and non-epinephrine, as well as nitrous oxide, if requested. In extreme phobia cases, we are trained to administer safe oral sedation.
