He is a highly trained clinician who provides total dental care for those patients with gum disease, high fear, cosmetic needs and missing or broken teeth. Dr. Moorhead is a general dentist who focuses his practice on the treatment of the entire mouth, for both young and old. “It is hard for one person to keep up on all the latest improvements in dentistry. That’s why, as part of my professional obligation to you, I make a special effort to keep up on the latest developments in dentistry through my memberships in professional organizations. I’m able to meet with other professionals and share advancements in more effective ways to a healthy smile.”
