“I am truly humbled to receive this award. My career has been driven by a curiosity about new technology and a desire to share what I learn with colleagues in dentistry. The real reward has always been seeing those ideas translate into better care for patients—both in my own practice and in the practices of dentists who continue to embrace innovation.”
