Skills
I perform all aspects of dentistry except RCT re-treats, and the surgical extraction of impacted third molars Although, I believe if I took a course on these two procedures I could complete them successfully
Completed Progressive Orthodontics program- comprehensive orthodontics Orthodontics is a very satisfying branch of dentistry!
Surgery and implant placement is my favorite though
I would probably enjoy endodontics more if I had a microscope :)
