From Burnout to Purpose
I began doing All-On-X surgery in 2019. I was 4 years out of residency. I had tried both the private practice and traditional “corporate” oral surgery models but was not passionate about either.
I knew I needed a change, but I felt burned out and hopeless. I even pondered leaving the world of oral surgery, but those dental school student loans were like shackles pulling me back into the operatory.
Desperate for something different, I approached a well known All-On-X center that happened to be across the street from my apartment at the time. Fortunately for me they were looking to add an additional surgeon. Unfortunately for me, they wanted to know how much experience I had with the All-On-X style procedure.
When asked, I was honest. I replied, “Essentially none. But, I can learn”.
And the journey began…
Now, almost 3,000 arches later, full-arch surgery has become my passion and calling. I feel incredibly fortunate to get to do what I love every day. And even more than operating, I have come to love teaching full-arch surgery principles and techniques to other surgeons who have found the same drive and passion to excel at this incredible surgical procedure.
My hope is that you find this website, and the content I create, to be an incredible asset in your journey to be the best.
And always remember…
Operate in the Shadows.
Adapt Relentlessly.
Load them All.
