A Philosophy Rooted in Balance

Dr. Askew’s approach to dentistry is shaped by a unique professional perspective — one that bridges community-based oral health care with contemporary aesthetic dentistry. Through experience across diverse patient populations, he developed a strong belief that beautiful smiles should not be exclusive, artificial, or disconnected from overall oral health.

Dr. Askew is particularly known for his attention to detail and his ability to create subtle, natural-looking smile enhancements. His clinical focus includes front-tooth restorations, aesthetic composite work, Invisalign® treatment, and smile refinement designed to complement each patient’s facial features rather than overpower them.

Patients often appreciate his calm demeanor, clear communication style, and the time he takes to ensure every treatment plan aligns with both aesthetic goals and long-term oral health. His approach prioritizes balance — avoiding trends or extremes in favor of results that age well and feel authentic.


Commitment to Community and Trust

Beyond technical skill, Dr. Askew places strong emphasis on trust, education, and continuity of care. His background in community-focused dentistry informs how he communicates with patients, making complex treatment decisions understandable and collaborative.

This commitment to accessibility, transparency, and respect carries into every aspect of his practice, reinforcing the belief that high-quality dentistry should feel personal, ethical, and sustainable — not transactional.
