Personal and Special Interests:
 
Dr. Napolitano is an avid “lover of the sea” and enjoys sailing whenever the opportunity permits. As the weather cools, Dr. Napolitano heads to the “slopes” where he fills his free time with the challenges of down hill skiing. In addition to sports, Dr. Napolitano loves to create things with his hands and when he is not building beautiful smiles, he enjoys the intricacies of woodworking. Dr. Napolitano’s most favorite hobby however, is spending time with his grandchildren Luke, Cooper, Hunter and Vincent.   Dr. Napolitano’s heart is filled with his grand-sons and he hopes that someday he will have a grand-daughter that he can call his “princess”.
 
 
Philosophy of Care
 
Behind your beautiful smile lies our pride! That is the feeling we share at Innovative Dental Professionals. Our goal at Innovative, is to create gorgeous smiles along with complete facial harmony. 
 
As a specialist, Dr. Napolitano believes these objectives can only be accomplished when a “growth and development” treatment philosophy is employed. Intercepting growth aberrations at an early age has a very high correction percentage. The result is a completely balanced facial profile to go along with that beautiful smile. When children are screened by 6 years of age, all non-extraction orthodontic treatment options remain available.
 
As an adult patient, Dr. Napolitano will evaluate the size and shape of the oral cavity and restore your mouth to proper size addressing the issues of sleep apnea, snoring and airway. The harmony established between your smile and facial features will make you feel like you’ve had a “smile make-over”.
 
At Innovative we will provide the most progressive treatment modalities within a very fun, spirited and caring environment. For us, it is an honor to treat your family’s dental/orthodontic needs. We enthusiastically look forward to welcoming you into our practice.
