What National Dentist’s Day Means to Us
Most people see going to the dentist as a task that they dread. As such, it takes a special kind of person to not only deliver highly-skilled work but also to lead with empathy, compassion, and understanding for their patients day in and day out. You strive to meet your patients where they are and reassure them every step of the way. Whether a patient is seeking a simple filling or a totally transformed smile after years of neglect, you’re there to guide them and cheer them on. That’s why we are proud to have the opportunity to cheer you on too! For us, National Dentist’s Day is a chance to reflect on the altruistic work that this community of skilled professionals is able to do for all of us.
If you haven’t heard yet, March 6th is National Dentist’s Day, but one day doesn’t seem like nearly enough time to celebrate the outstanding dental professionals who make a difference in their patients’ and their team’s lives everyday. That is why Zest Dental Solutions is highlighting Dental Heroes all month long! We hope that you will join us in honoring these folks who put their skills to good use, continually hone their craft, and give back whenever possible. To the dental heroes who go out of their way to create confident, healthy smiles, we see you, we thank you, and we applaud you for the artful and “heart-full” work you do.
Do you know a Dental Hero who deserves a shout out?

MEET DR. JUSTIN BAUER
Bear River Family Dental Clinic
Dr. Bauer is proud to serve the community of Brigham City, UT as he works along side the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation Indian reservation. He has done a wonderful job of expanding access to high-quality dental care by removing barriers to entry. Offering Medicaid in his practice is just one of the ways in which he has done this! Before he took over Bear River Family Dental Clinic, the practice was focused on only a handful of basic dental services. Now, Dr. Bauer has expanded the service offerings, making sure there is something for everyone's needs. His wide array of services ranges from specialized treatments like dental implants and modern cosmetic dentistry to bread and butter procedures like traditional dentures and restorative work. As a result, Bear River Family Dental Clinic has grown exponentially and performs top-notch, low-cost dental services. Dr. Bauer's goal is to continue to grow the practice to continue to serve his community for decades to come because everyone deserves access to compassionate, transformative dentistry. For all these reasons and more, Dr. Justin Bauer is a Dental Hero worth recognizing!
MEET DR. SAMUEL SAUZA
DDS
Advanced Dental Implant Center
After receiving his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Loma Linda University, Dr. Samuel Sauza entered one of the most prestigious postgraduate programs for residency, training, and research in the field of oral implantology, where he served for 3 years. Loma Linda University is one of the few formal institutions offering degrees in implant dentistry, where its residents learn both surgical and restorative principles in-depth, allowing for whole patient care.
Having achieved his certificate in Oral Implantology, Dr. Sauza continued to develop extensive post-graduate practical experience in the practice of dentoalveolar surgery, the placement of conventional and advanced implants, bone grafting & tissue regeneration techniques, and the design of implant prosthetics utilized in partial & full mouth reconstruction. Dr. Sauza has treated a wide variety of patients and conditions over the years, with the majority of his work being focused on full arch implant dentistry and resolving complex cases encountered by his colleagues throughout California.
Utilizing his training on the most state-of-the-art techniques available, Dr. Sauza is able to provide his patients with simple, efficient, and comprehensive solutions to treat their needs. When under Dr. Sauza’s care, you can expect to experience a palpable level of empathy, understanding and attention to detail that is often hard to find.
There is a vast difference between a general dentist who does implants and a doctor who has had 3 years of full-time, post-graduate training in surgery and implant restoration. Implants are life-changing procedures. They will give you your life back. Best to have them done by someone who truly loves and is really good at what they are doing.
Dentistry has long been a passion for Dr. Sauza. Coming from a family of dentists, it was only natural for him to want to continue pushing the envelope in seeking excellence in the field. When not treating patients in the clinic, you can expect to find Dr. Sauza preparing a lecture, working on research, improving smile designs, or reading dental literature. Restoring people’s smiles is truly his life’s work.
