About Me
Dr. Crawshaw says, “I love working with my hands: I was a welder for 5 years before going to college. Once I got to college I became interested in health care, and after immersing myself in the dental field at college as an intern, I loved everything about it. Dentistry provides a dynamic environment where I can develop wonderful relationships with my patients, while helping them get out of pain, and help them look and feel better.”

“Our profession is also always integrating new technology to make dental care quick, painless, and affordable. I perform routine dental care, implants and restoration, root canal treatment, veneers, extractions, and treat TMJ disorders”, he says.
