?? What does the future of dentistry look like? ??? At Specialized Dental Partners, we’re talking to our partners every day about blending cutting-edge AI with expert care to reshape dental practices for the better. Take it from Dr. Tung Bui, as he explains how AI is transforming dental care on the Specialized podcast. Imagine AI assisting with diagnostics, reducing the time spent on treatment planning, and refining the precision of radiographs. But it's more than just advanced technology—our clinicians bring the expertise and empathy that turn innovation into exceptional patient care. From streamlining business operations to enhancing clinical accuracy, AI is taking dental practices to new heights. Want to see the future in action? ??

? Welcome Dr. Mary Ann Bunczak to the Specialized Dental Partners family! ? We’re thrilled to introduce Dr. Bunczak, the newest partner at Forest Lake Endodontics! Growing up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin, she developed a strong work ethic early on—milking cows and piling hay before graduating Valedictorian in 1986. Her journey continued at Marquette University, where she studied Biology, finishing three years of college in just two! By the age of 20, she was already in Dental School at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Bunczak went on to complete her General Practice Residency at the Minneapolis VA Hospital and earned her Master's and specialty training in Endodontics. In 2019, she opened Forest Lake Endodontics after 23 years of practice in Stillwater. Outside of work, she enjoys downhill skiing, staying active, reading non-fiction, and spending time with her family—her husband Glenn, their six children, and two Siberian cats. ?? Welcome Dr. Bunczak! #dentalcommunity #welcomepartner #specializeddentistry #endodontics #meetourteam

?? Celebrating National Dental Hygiene Month! ?? Every October, we recognize the critical role dental hygienists play in promoting oral health. Good dental hygiene supports the work we do as specialists by keeping your gums and teeth in optimal condition—ensuring that treatments are more effective and long-lasting. Your hygiene routine and regular visits to your hygienist help lay the foundation for success in more advanced dental treatments offered by our partners in endodontics, periodontics and oral surgery. So this October, as we celebrate the incredible work of dental hygienists, let's remember that their role is essential in supporting specialized dental care and the overall health of your smile! ???? #NationalDentalHygieneMonth #DentalSpecialists #OralHealth #Endodontics #Periodontics #OralMaxillofacial #SpecializedDentalCare
