Upon graduation, his quest for continual improvement would see him return to UT Houston for a 2-year general practice residency where he would learn advanced oral surgery, implants, orthodontics, endodontics, fixed and removable prosthodontics, cosmetics, sedation, and management of special care patients.
Following residency, he has furthered his education by completing a 2-year hands-on orthodontic course with the Academy of GP Orthodontics and earning his fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry, a designation that only 6% of all general dentists currently hold. He is currently taking hundreds of hours in continuing education encompassing all facets of dentistry and is working towards mastership—a distinction awarded to only 2% of general dentists—by 2026. This relentless pursuit of education, including implantology, has earned him a fellowship in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists—the world’s largest organization relating to the advancement of dental implants—in 2023.
His interests lie in comprehensive treatment and digital dentistry, and how effective utilization of both can provide optimal care and enhance communication with patients.
