Aesthete is pronounced as es′thēt′. It is a noun. Aesthete is derived from the Greek word aisthētēs, a person who perceives. Webster’s 'New World Dictionary' defines aesthete as a person highly sensitive to art and beauty. I believe dentistry is truly a blend of art and science.

Business Logo: US Service Marked.

"The business logo is a stylized medical caduceus, a winged staff with one serpent coiled about it. I believe the oral structures reflect many events happening within the body; and thus, are truly influenced medically. The Caduceus is meant to represent my comprehensive approach to oral health care. I drew the staff as an artist’s paint brush. Dentistry is an art to enhance function and beauty; and therefore, also provides one’s comfort, health, and self-esteem. The serpent is coiled around the artist’s paint brush, the staff, is in the shape of the Latin small letters for ‘ae’. These are the first two letters of the word ‘Aesthete’. This represents an established entity and the global nature of the world today, thus symbolizing the progressive goals of my dental service."
