A story about redefining success through faith, alignment, and the courage to choose a different path in dentistry and life.

Education and trusted partnerships are redefining how dentists grow. As access to learning expands, confidence comes from guidance, mentorship, and long term support, not equipment alone.

Thriving in Practice
Dentistry is built in moments, not grand gestures. In Micro Moments. Macro Impact., Rachel Sanner explores how everyday leadership, presence, and small interactions shape culture, trust, and patient experience inside modern dental practices.
