Hear why five Aspen Dental dentists decided to go into dentistry.

Dr. Reena Raman on why she decided to become a dentist:

"I enjoy being able to provide care to others. In dentistry, there are so many ways to help one patient. I had a creative/artistic side in college doing sculpture that brought my attention to restorative dentistry. From that point, my career bloomed."

Dr. Michel Lundy on why he decided to become a dentist:

"A dentist made a big impact in my life when I was a young boy by taking care of my family. His kindness and patience always resonated with me. I wanted to make the same impact in the lives of others as he did with myself and my family."

Dr. Romina Aznavaleh on why she decided to become a dentist:

"I started volunteering with the Texas Mission of Mercy during graduate school and fell in love with dentistry."

Dr. Christian Torres Diaz on why he decided to become a dentist:

"I got into dentistry as a dental assistant in the United States Navy. I quickly fell in love with the profession and decided to keep furthering my studies while in the military."

Dr. Katie Masters on why she decided to become a dentist:

"My parents bought me a Cabbage Patch dental chair as a kid, and I absolutely adored it. So I credit it with even making me think about dentistry. As I got older, I just fell in love with dentistry and everything it had to offer. I get to problem solve and use my artistic side to help patients. I get to mentor and help others grow, but I still have a great work/life balance. It just provides me with the life I wanted."
