Through-out his 30+ year career, he has committed himself to providing the highest quality restorative, cosmetic, and bio-esthetic dentistry, patients are referred to his practice by other satisfied patients; who frequently are medical and dental professionals themselves, and therefore exceptionally well qualified to judge the quality and value of his work.  They know that medical and dental services done poorly, end up costing much more than had they first sought a highly skilled provider. As a result, Dr. Klein is known as the “Dentist’s Dentist”.

Dr. Klein is passionate about the science of oral health, dental function, and smile esthetics.  He thrives on restoring the most difficult and complex cases; particularly full mouth reconstruction and extensive cosmetic restorations; yet is delighted to work with patients seeking only minor restorations or smile enhancements.
