 "With eight years of general dentistry experience and eighteen years of orthodontic experience, I understand the dental needs of your family. I am committed to giving 100% to each of my patients. Individualized care given to the best of my ability is a goal I value highly!"
—Kirk A. Specht, DDS, MS
Education
A powerful education opens doors of opportunity and enhances all decisions made throughout life.
"The facts and the details of how to ideally shape a tooth or align a bite or bring in an impacted tooth are all important lessons I was taught both in dental school and during orthodontic specialty training. Key principles that guide my treatment are found in the mission of Loma Linda University, 'To make man whole.' This complete care model is still basic to the treatment of all my patients."
