He explains how MARPE offers a non-surgical solution for transverse maxillary deficiencies in skeletally mature patients. Dr. Norris outlines case selection, biomechanics, and how to identify patients who will benefit most from expansion therapy. The episode also explores the impact of expansion on airway health, facial aesthetics, and long-term stability.   Dr. Robert Norris is devoted to creating smiles for a lifetime. His unique background in mechanical engineering provides him with a distinct advantage in mastering the forces, vectors, and movements inherent in performing orthodontic treatment. Dr. Norris attended University of Texas at Austin where he received his bachelor's degree with honors in Biology and a minor in Mechanical Engineering. He was salutatorian of this dental school class at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio Dental School. He completed a General Practice Residency at the V.A.

Ankur A Gupta, DDS, after completing a one-year GPR in Cleveland, started a practice from scratch in 2005. Armed with what he considered adequate dental knowledge, hand skills, and a personable demeanor, he watched as his practice floundered, finances became un-predictable, and his lower back and spirit toward his profession became worrisome. Rather than continue the trend, he made a guinea pig out of his office, family, and self, attempting any and all personal and professional “experiments” in self-improvement. More than a decade later, he enjoys an excellent practice, a solution oriented dental team; and most importantly, a meaningful and positive identity. He happily shares the failures and successes with dental and community groups throughout the country, always ending his presentations with practical, implementable, step-by-step ways to be better. Dr. Gupta graduated from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 2004. In 2005, after completing a one-year General Practice Residency in Cleveland, Ohio, he and his partner Dr. Nisha Gupta started North Ridgeville Family Dentistry. In addition to founding North Ridgeville Family Dentistry, Dr. Gupta is a member of the American Dental Association, Greater Cleveland Dental Society, Ohio Dental Association, ADA Success Speaker Corp and an active board member and a speaker for Catapult Education's Speaker Bureau. Dr. Gupta is an AGD/PACE certified provider.

According to the American Psychological Association, smiling - even if forced - can help boost one's mood. But what if you cannot seem to smile in public? The CDC states one-quarter of adults over 65 have severe tooth loss. Missing, misaligned, and discolored teeth can truly impact one's ability to freely smile and have self-confidence. We see the public's endeavor to combat these through the rise of utilizing the dental technologies of teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, braces, implants, and Invisalign®. But many myths online surround the world of dental health and oral hygiene. Are yellow teeth normal? Do whitening strips work? Is there irreversible teeth misalignment? Are veneers worth it, and do they require shaving down teeth? Should I opt for braces or clear aligners?We are joined today by Dr. Joyce Kahng, a cosmetic dentist and founder of Orange + Magnolia Dental Studio in Costa Mesa, CA. She received her BS in Biology from the University of the Pacific in 2007, where she also received her DDS at the Arthur A.

Heart disease, periodontal disease, inflammation, heavy metal poisoning...Some of the few diseases that can start with poor oral hygiene. How can we prevent this from happening? Beat Disease sits down with local dentist Dr. Bryce Holmes to discuss preventable treatment. Its never too late to BEAT DISEASE!       Dr. Holmes is a Washington native and grew up in the Pacific Northwest. After graduating Brigham Young University-Idaho he went on to attend Oregon Health and Science University where he earned his Dental Degree.

They are happy residents of the Tri Cities and enjoy the surrounding beauty and ample sunshine on this side of the state Education Dr. Bryce Holmes is grateful for the experiences he had in Rexburg Idaho while he attended Brigham Young University-Idaho. The cold winters made it easy to study in the warm library. After graduating BYUI, Dr. Holmes was accepted and attended Oregon Health and Science University where he enjoyed being close to family and reuniting with the Pacific Northwest. He earned his Dental Degree in 2017. Dr. Bryce Holmes always knew he wanted to be a dentist, but being in school and getting to help patients achieve a healthy, beautiful smile solidified his love for it. “Being a dentists is an incredibly rewarding profession. Each day people trust me to care for their oral and overall health. Im humbled by that responsibility and take it very seriously” Further Education During dental school Dr. Holmes quickly came to love helping patients get out of pain and replacing missing teeth. He sought further education to advance his skills in helping patients achieve the very best possible outcomes. He attended Hackensack University Medical Center in a General Practice Residency. There he focused on advanced procedures in all aspects of dentistry including complicated root canals, dental implants and other surgical procedures, and the management of medically complex patients. This elective year of education provided Dr. Holmes with the skills needed to keep his patients safe while providing exceptional dental care. Hobbies Outside of Work Dr. Holmes enjoys many things. His absolute favorite is spending time with his beautiful wife Kayla and their three children. As a family they love to hike, swim, ride bikes and play tennis.
