Jackson, Justin Kendall, Catherine Lightfoot, Dr. Philip Lindley, Dr. Richard Lyschik Well, 2018 has flown by and I must say it was a fast-paced and exciting year for the team of North Texas Dentistry. Con- tinuing to expand our relationships within the North Texas dental commu- nity, it has been a pleasure to continue to bring news and information to our read- ers. Thanks to all who helped to make 2018 a year to remember! This issue’s cover story has an interesting twist! Dr. Glenn Vo is the focus of the fea- ture and we are excited to present his dual role in dentistry. Dr. Vo and his wife, Dr. Susan Tran have a thriving general dental practice, Denton Smiles Dentistry. In addition to being a full-time dentist, Dr. Vo is the founder of Nifty Thrifty Den- tists, a buying group that offers dentists the opportunity to leverage the enhanced buying power of a large group. With 19,000 dental professionals in the Face- book group Nifty Thrifty Dentists is mak- ing a difference in the bottomlines of many dental practices. A variety of editorial topics completes the issue. Community News presents The Urban Inter-Tribal Center of Texas; Prac- tice Models examines the start-up prac- tice; Practice Marketing outlines steps to more and better patients in 2019 and TMOM Update highlights the November event that provided dental care to our vet- erans. Enjoy these articles and more! As always, I want to say thank you to all who support and contribute to making this publication possible. I hope you and your families have a safe and wonderful holiday season! Ray Bryant PHOTOGRAPHY Tina Cauller WRITING / DESIGN Cheers to 2019!
