In this episode of "This is Me," I take you through my personal journey, from the early days as a dental student to becoming the proud owner of my very own dental practice. I talk about the challenges, lessons, and defining moments that shaped my path. Starting with my experiences in dental school, I share the ups and downs, the clinical skills I honed, and the mindset I developed to succeed in the dental industry. I then dive into the decision to open a "squat" dental practice—a practice built from the ground up, rather than taking over an existing one. This was a huge leap, filled with uncertainty and risk, but ultimately rewarding. I discuss what inspired me to take this route and how I navigated the process, from planning to execution. A significant part of the story is the choice of equipment, and I highlight how partnering with Adec for state-of-the-art dental equipment played a crucial role in creating a comfortable, modern practice environment. From the patient chairs to the treatment centers, Adec’s high-quality technology helped shape the practice into what it is today. This episode is for anyone curious about what it takes to go from being a dental student to owning a thriving dental practice, particularly those considering a squat practice. Whether you're a dentist, a student, or simply interested in entrepreneurship, I share insights, advice, and a firsthand perspective on how to turn a vision into reality.
