Dr. O'Shea believes in a holistic approach to dentistry, recognizing the interconnectedness of oral health with other biological systems, and strives to provide comprehensive care that considers the "big picture" of a patient's overall health, including breathing, sleep, and nutrition. O'Shea Dentistry offers a wide range of services designed to address various dental needs. These include: General and Preventive Dentistry: Comprehensive oral evaluations, professional dental cleanings, and patient education on oral hygiene and dietary habits.
