Meet the Dentists

Jonathan E. Faber, DMD, FAGD

 “I enjoy taking the time to help patients understand different dental treatments by thoroughly explaining the options and guiding them to an informed decision. Doing this allows the patient to feel comfortable with their individual treatment plan and more comfortable with dentistry in general. One of the most satisfying experiences is helping anxious patients through procedures and showing them that dentistry does not have to be scary or painful. I enjoy practicing different aspects of dentistry—from surgery to cosmetic—to provide more services for my patients. I also enjoy attending varied continuing education courses to learn new techniques, procedures, and materials.” EDUCATION:

Katherine L.K. Faber, DMD

“I became a dentist because I am passionate about helping people smile with confidence. It is important to me that my patients feel comfortable and at ease in our office and I pride myself on taking time to explain procedures and answer questions so that we can create the best plan for their oral health together. I love working with patients of all ages and I am particularly passionate about working with infants and children. I enjoy working with the children and their parents to start good oral health habits as early as the first baby tooth. I feel strongly about starting preventive dental care at a young age so that children can grow up with healthy, beautiful smiles that will last a lifetime.” EDUCATION:
