After being in private practice for the last few decades, I had become a very efficient endodontist. But something was missing. While completing 9-10 cases a day, i started looking for an exit strategy. My practice felt like it was in a rut and i wanted to find a way to reignite my passion.

At a national meeting of endodontists, I heard about the GentleWave System from Sonendo and saw some of the case reports and firsthand reports of those that were using the system. I was intrigued. I bought two units for my 2 practices, got trained, and then found that all of our systems, strategies, and efficiency protocols were outdated.

I decided to embrace this new technology and focused on developing a highly-efficient approach to scheduling and treating patients. I was excited again to start doing root canals and fell back in love with my practice. After 6 months, my life changed. I looked forward to coming into work and approaching my patients with a new attitude. I thoroughly enjoy the new technology and believe there has never been a better time to be an endodontist. Our field is moving from minimal instrumentation endodontics towards non-instrumentation endodontics, join me to learn why. I’ll show you how to incorporate my techniques into your clinical protocols.
