Meet The Dentists

Dr. Back graduated from the University of Kentucky in 1995. Since that time she has practiced exclusively in Sarasota, Florida. There she has developed her craft. After a couple of years in practice Dr. Back noted how personally rewarding it was to restore a beautiful smile and there she found her niche.

Driven by such positive results, Dr. Back has taken hundreds of hours in continuing education to further her expertise.

With the eye of an artist and the hand of a surgeon Dr. Back sculpts a perfect smile for you, taking into account your face shape, age, sex and personality. She takes pride in her ability to create an individual work of art( a one of a kind).

Dr. Back insists on perfection and because of this she has equipped our new office with state-of-the-art software for practice management, cosmetic imaging and digital x-rays.

Prevention and Oral Health Maintenance
At our office, we believe preventative dental care and maintenance is vital to your dental health. Through regular scheduled exams we check the overall health of your teeth and gums, perform oral cancer screenings, and perform x-rays to detect problems before they worsen. Routine dental cleanings, sealants, and fluoride treatments help prevent cavities and dental disease. We review your medical history to assess your overall health and identify any illnesses that may have an impact on your dental health.

Office Sterilization and Safety Procedures
We want to ensure the health of our patients and our dental team. Our practice follows safety procedures recommended by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC). These measures include:

• Using disinfectant hand soap
• Wearing gloves, masks, glasses and/or face shields
• Chemical disinfection of countertops and surfaces
• Sterilization of all non-disposable instruments and equipment before every use
• Chemical disinfection of all items which cannot be sterilized
• Use of disposable plastic coverings and sheath over surfaces with high contact such as the dental chair, equipment, air/water syringe and light handles.

As your dental health care provider, we want you to be confident knowing that we take the responsibility of your health and safety very seriously.

Training & Expertise

We regularly attend training classes, dental lectures, and dental conventions so we can offer the latest dental techniques, procedures, products and equipment to our patients.

The goal of our practice is to provide superior dental health care while creating lasting relationships with each individual patient. We appreciate the opportunity to be your dental health care provider, and we look forward to seeing you!
