Published by Benco Dental, the Incisal Edge magazine continually tracks the nation’s top practitioners.
For an 11th consecutive year, Incisal Edge dental magazine recognizes brilliant achievers, ages 40 and under, with its signature award. This year’s Incisal Edge “40 Under 40” dentists are spotlighted in the magazine’s fall print and digital editions, published by Benco Dental. View them in the fall issue today: IncisalEdgeMagazine.com.
Ideas, advice, and award winners arrive in one glamorous package with the fall issue of the only dental magazine that continually tracks the nation’s top practitioners. Beginning with a Philadelphia-skyline-inspired portrait, Incisal Edge introduces recipients of its signature “40 Under 40” award for young dentists. From there, discussions with more brilliant achievers include the Los Angeles Lakers official dentist, an oral surgeon/life coach/author who helps women and minorities achieve their professional dreams, and the Incisal Edge “40 Under 40,” to name a few. Get the highlights at: IncisalEdgeMagazine.com.
In the fall issue of Incisal Edge, dental professionals will learn tips on creating a dental brand that harmonizes with its neighborhood vibe, buying or selling a practice, and updating dental fees regularly. The issue offers insight from:
? Mouthguard expert Dr. Ray Padilla, the official dentist for UCLA’s athletic teams – and a modest little basketball franchise known as the Los Angeles Lakers,
? Board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Cathy Hung, who aims to increase the number of females in her specialty with bestseller, Behind Her Scalpel: Practical Guide and Stories by Women Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons,
? Dr. Laura Holena, a dentist whose rare brain condition equips her with the skills to provide uncommon care for special-needs dental patients,
? America’s top young dentists, the Incisal Edge 40 Under 40 honorees, listed below.
