About the practice

A neighborhood practice that feels like family.

Dr. LaFemina takes the time to listen to your concerns and performs a complete oral examination. Regular visits include periodontal checks, cleanings and health screenings — and he'll clearly explain the condition of your smile and any recommendations.

He stays current through continuing education, offering dental implant restorations, modern realignment appliances, and oral-appliance treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. His dental team and front office are happy to answer questions and stay flexible when you need to reschedule.

A specialty focus

“You have provided me with the oral appliance which is saving my life, by protecting me from the effects of sleep apnea.”— Barbara S., patient review
