Awards

Award-winning Dentist

In 2013, The American Board of Prosthodontics awarded me the most prestigious award in the field: “Diplomate of American Board of Prosthodontics.” I have enjoyed practicing as a specialist in prosthodontic dentistry focusing on esthetic dentistry, implant dentistry, full mouth rehabilitation, and smile makeovers.

However, I am not one to hide my talents or my knowledge from others. In fact, I frequently take time from my practice to help new dentists in their continuing education, and many of my peers respect me as an outgoing individual eager to better the profession I work in. I also hold hospital privilege at Inova Fairfax Hospital, the only level 1 Trauma Hospital in Northern Virginia.

Teaching

Mentor and Educator

As an educator and mentor, I enjoy advancing the careers of many dentists through lecturing and hands-on courses that I offer while inventing advanced techniques in dentistry. With over 20 years of experience, I have a passion for teaching dentistry methods to other dentists. I am adjunct faculty at Virginia Commonwealth University, teaching the residents in its Prosthodontics Postgraduate Program: the dentists who are themselves training to become prosthodontists.

I was a clinical instructor at the University of California, San Francisco School of Dentistry before relocating, and I still run hands-on courses for other dentists.

I am also the founder of a well-known dental study club, the Tysons Study Club. This quarterly study club and symposium is a vision I had been cultivating for some time that came to fruition in 2018. It is for dentists by dentists and is geared towards challenging dentists’ thinking on the industry and how to improve. Through the study club, dentists will learn the skills and progressive innovation to provide patients with a higher level of care.
