Dr. Allie spent the weekend in Scottsdale completing advanced training that focused on achieving the best possible results for front tooth implants. This course was taught by Dr. Farhad Boltchi, a nationally recognized expert periodontist and implant specialist.

In some cases, patients don’t naturally have the ideal bone or gum tissue needed for a perfect outcome. This hands-on course covered advanced procedures to rebuild and enhance those areas through special bone and tissue grafting techniques. By combining these surgical techniques with our digital smile design, we’re able to deliver results that look and feel as natural as possible! 🔩🦷✨

Mel, your coworkers and patients will definitely miss you around the office. Your energy, laughter, and one-of-a-kind personality have left a lasting mark on all of us.

Thank you for all your hard work, dedication, and the joy you brought to our days over the years. We wish you all the best as you embark on this exciting new adventure as a Licensed Massage Therapist 💆🏻‍♀️🌿 Your future clients are so lucky to have you! Congrats!
