Constantly Learn




Last week I had the opportunity to go to Scottsdale with a small group of dentists from Colorado and Idaho. 35 of us all together.  Through another colleague, I had the good fortune to be invited into this small group. We sat at the feet of one of the world's leading dentists and researchers, who typically speaks to many hundred to a few thousand at a time. We had him all to ourselves.

This is a room filled with highly skilled, multiple decade in practice people. At the end of the second day we were in awe. There's just sooo much to keep current on. There is so much that can be added to what I am doing right now to create even better results.

Dentistry just keeps changing very rapidly. I am looking forward to bringing enhancements to our practice: everything from improved esthetics with bonding, to stronger cements for porcelain veneers, to longer lasting white fillings.

So, a few take-away thoughts for me (that I hope benefit my patients): 
  • WHO you associate with makes all the difference in your skill level and the development of our personal standards. I am continually blessed to be around highly skilled mentors.
  • Constantly decide to become better. A favorite quote of mine is: "If better is possible, then good is not enough".
  • Commit to change and follow through. Getting excited is a part of it. Setting time, pencilling out implementation plans cause real change.
In this blog, I am looking forward to filling your minds with thoughts about dentistry (cosmetic dentistry or otherwise) that challenges your common conceptions.

Here's to a good start!
