Since graduating from USC Dental School in 1989, I have focused on building a practice that reflects my lifestyle. I love coming to work every day so I must have been successful! Utilizing cutting edge technology and basic common sense, we help our patients understand all of their options, and choose the best treatment for them. Continuing education is important to me and we attend many lectures yearly. One of my highlights was attending advanced reconstruction courses with Extreme Makeovers, Dr. Bill Dorfman. That knowledge has inspired me to perform these procedures for local women’s shelters as well as our patients. It has also prompted me to start sharing my knowledge and experience with others. I now lecture nationally to doctors about dental implants and esthetic all-porcelain restorations and to dental teams about patient communication with my wife, Jessica. In my spare time I love to play golf, play my drums and spend time with my family. I have two incredible daughters and now, an 18 year old African Grey parrot that can sing the USC fight song, and have adopted a boxer puppy named Lola into our family.

I love working with our amazing team at Pinnacle Dentistry. I started my dental career in 1994. I began as a dental assistant and shortly moved on to the front office of the dental team. I won the elite national award of Crown Council’s Team Member of the Year Award. That was an honor. I love what I do! I thrive on continuing education and make sure our office attends several programs a year as well as in office training. My goal is to make sure each patient knows how much the office genuinely cares and to ensure our patients are in partnership with us to guide them to their desired results. It is important to me that everyone has a positive experience in our office. I feel we are unique in the sense we only see one patient at a time. In my experience I have never seen any other dentist that cares so much about his patients and his team as much as Dr. Cufone. He gives each patient all of their treatment options and it is up to the patient to decide what they want. There is no pressure put on the patient; only the truth about their dental health. Dr. Cufone and I lecture nationally to our dental peers on Team and Patient Communication as well as other topics. I have two beautiful daughters, Jenna and Kayla as well as an 18 year old African Grey Parrot, Mugsy, and have adopted a boxer puppy named Lola into our family. I love to travel, read and enjoy life to the fullest.

I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona along with most of my family, who I am very close with. I live a very active lifestyle that includes mountain biking, hiking and snowboarding. As of now, our children consist of our two dogs Diesel, a Staffordshire Terrier and Daisy a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, who keep me very busy on top of all my other activities. Upon graduating high school, I attended Phoenix College to play Volleyball and to complete my pre-requisites for the Northern Arizona University’s Dental Hygiene Program. I started my career in dentistry in 2004 as a front and back office assistant learning, as I went. I am now practicing as a Registered Dental Hygienist. I enjoy attending several continuing education courses yearly, to stay up to date on new technology and research findings. I absolutely love my career! It is very important to me, that I get to know my patients and provide them with the best care possible, while making them comfortable during treatment. I look forward to working many years as a hygienist here at Pinnacle Dentistry with Dr. Cufone and our amazing dental team.
