First presentation of 2026 for @easttexasdentalsociety in Tyler, TX! 🌹 Thank you to the ETDS Leadership for the kind invitation: Dr. Kayleigh Eaves-Temple and Dr. Aly Kennedy @tylerperio; and Dr. Wade Barker @southern_surgical_arts 🙏🏼 and a huge thanks to ETDS support team who helped make the event run smoothly! 🤗 Haven’t been to Tyler since junior high soccer tournaments ⚽️ and we had a great time reconnecting with old and new friends, including several from the Mother Baylor years @delainedaniels and @cooleyfamilydentistry. Even had a few colleagues introduce themselves as students of my Father back in the day. 🥲 I always include mention of mentors past and present such as my Father who gave me my first lessons in implant dentistry that still resonate today; Dr. Pat Allen @edwardpallendds who shaped my approach to soft tissues and implant dentistry in the esthetic zone, and our @itiglobal Yoda, Dr. Frank Higginbottom, who introduced a generation of Baylor boys to the ITI. 🌎 Cheers to an epic New Year - getting started in style!!! 🥂 ——————————————- Join the largest evidence-based dental implant community in the world - 26,000 members and growing!!! www.iti.org 💪🏼 Registration is OPEN for @itisectionusa ITI Congress USA in Napa Valley, CA April 23-26, 2026!!! 🍷 #theITIisUS 🇺🇸 ——————————————- #dentalimplantesthetics #estheticriskassessment #periodontalplasticsurgery #iti @implantperioarts 🎨
