The IPA oversees administrative, clinical, and operational processes at each location, streamlining workflows, coordinating patient care, and reducing daily friction.

They are trained in all aspects of dental assisting and adept with digital x‑rays, cone‑beam scanners, and other technology.

Our team boasts a depth of educational diversity: 28 team members hold or are pursuing Bachelor’s degrees, 15 have earned or are completing Graduate degrees, and 22 have completed or are working toward Doctorate or Professional degrees.
