The 2025 10 Dentists to Watch list is live! This year’s talented young dentists bring diverse skills and ambitions to the field, united by their commitment to lifelong learning and delivering exceptional care to their patients.

AGD is working to address the most pressing issues faced by our members as we advocate to government entities for general dentists.

AGD is a new partner for the Stop the Bleed program, a national initiative aimed at empowering individuals to act as immediate responders during emergencies by providing lifesaving techniques to control severe bleeding. It emphasizes public awareness, training, and equipping bystanders with the skills needed to save lives.

“My journey in dentistry has been shaped by a commitment to community health and a desire to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those I serve, regardless of geographic boundaries.”

“It’s incredibly rewarding to see patients who arrive with fear, pain or low self-esteem leave my dental chair with a renewed sense of confidence and a smile.”

“Each day is an opportunity to build a legacy of developing healthier communities.”

“I pride myself in having a laughter-filled office, with team members and patients laughing together in the hallways to help alleviate the anxiety that patients often feel.”

“I always hope to provide care that is a partnership where the patient is accompanied on their oral health journey.”

“We’ve established strong partnerships with local organizations to connect our patients with food banks and housing assistance programs.”

“Dentistry is a great profession as it allows me to bring positive changes to people by either creating new smiles or getting them out of pain.”

“What truly inspired me was witnessing how restoring a smile could transform a person’s confidence and overall well-being.”

“I strive to be a relatable and transparent provider while taking quality care of people.”

“I discovered that the world of dentistry was so much broader and more interesting than I knew, and I quickly made the commitment to dive into the field.”

Dentistry needs new dentists to share their ideas and get involved through organized dentistry, mentorship and education. To showcase the talents of the next generation of dentists, AGD Impact reached out to 10 outstanding dentists who have been practicing for less than 10 years and asked them about their accomplishments and goals.

You too can help a colleague start their year off right by inviting them to join AGD through the Refer-a-Colleague program. By participating, you’re not only spreading the word about the value of AGD membership, but also earning rewards.
