Welcome to our updated website! We have redesigned it for smoother navigation and flow. Our organization’s goal is to continually improve our techniques for delivering comprehensive, risk-based dentistry. Our patients enjoy the best there is to offer in minimally-invasive care.

Our annual meeting will be a collaborative effort with AAOSH (American Academy of Oral Systemic Health) starting on Wednesday, September 18th through Sunday, September 22nd in Las Vegas. We are continuing with our theme from last year: “If you want the right answer, you have to ask the right question.” All fields of endeavor are littered with well-crafted answers that frequently come up short in providing adequate insights into the issues we face daily. At this meeting, there will be many intriguing questions for you to entertain. We will have the unique opportunity to connect with a myriad of health care disciplines and join forces as we strive to offer our patients optimal care.

I invite you to take time from your busy schedules and connect with an enthusiastic group of professionals to update and refine your practices. Every year, while learning leading-edge protocols and renewing friendships with outstanding colleagues, I come away from the meeting energized and inspired with possibilities for exceptional patient care!

Please take time to explore our site and plan to join us in September for an incredible event!


Regards,

Scott R. Neish, DMD
