Summary:
After graduating in the top quartile of my dental class at the University of Colorado, I moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico to join a private practice where I have continued to develop my dental skills. I am now a licensed Invisalign provider and have incorporated implant surgeries into my practice. The time I spent in private practice and mentorship I experienced in that setting has significantly increased my clinical skillset since graduation from dental school. I have grown confident in advanced surgical extractions, removable prosthetic dentistry, including overdentures and full mouth rehabilitations using a combination of restorative options including both fixed and removable. I am now trained in many forms of digital dentistry and have been designing and using guides to place implants for single and multiple tooth restorations. I am using CBCT to complete root canal treatments up through first molars. I perform a multitude of pediatric dental procedures including pulp therapies and stainless-steel crowns. I am currently looking to use my experience as an associate to match private practices and associate dentists. Feel free to reach out anytime using the contact information provided above.
