"The teachings evolved in
a stepwise manner when I
was ready for the next piece

You've been practicing and specializing in cosmetic and
restorative dentistry for about 15 years. What inspired
you to become a dentist, and what led you specifically to
cosmetic dentistry?
I accepted a part-time position in a dental office during
high school, and the dentist I worked with was a very positive
individual-he enjoyed dentistry, and he enjoyed life to the
fullest. In a twist of fate, I met up with this doctor later, after I
went away to college: I was working for a hospital in California
and his bill came across my desk. He was a patient participating
in a clinical trial for cancer at this same hospital, which was in
another state, and it was four years after I had worked for him.
The odds of his bill landing on my desk were nearly improbable,
so to reconnect this way seemed like destiny.
I'd never realized it, but he had been fighting the cancer
when I worked for him: He would go to chemotherapy at lunch
and come back like he had just gone out for a stroll. He never
complained and never mentioned his treatment. He loved what
he did every day and it showed. I was inspired-I wanted that
fulfillment in my career and in my life.
The cosmetic component of dentistry came later. I'd
always been interested in cosmetic dentistry, but my training
started with a focus on temporomandibular disorder (TMD)
because I had experienced TMD pain in my own mouth. I'd
been looking for treatment options and realized how difficult
