Sarah Winter grew up in Huntington Beach, California and spent many days in her father's family dental practice. She later went to USC for her undergraduate education and became a special education teacher before she realized dentistry WAS in fact her calling. She attended UNLV School of Dental Medicine and earned her DMD degree, magna cum laude in 2010. After graduation she worked in her father's practice for several years before working alongside Dr David Hornbrook and then eventually opening her own practice in La Jolla California in 2016. Continuing education has become a passion and a hobby for Dr Winter and she is involved with several organizations including American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, American Society for Dental Aesthetics, DOCS education, the Crown Council and Smile Virtual. She has also taught aesthetic dentistry at the American Society for Dental Aesthetics and has written published articles for several dental periodicals. Outside of dentistry, Dr Winter has a love of skincare, bike riding, and enjoys all things beachy with her family. Being that her office is blocks away from her house, her husband, Christian can often be found inside the practice as the go-to for all things tech support and her 11 year old son and 9 year old daughter are well versed in how to raid the office toy box.

Episode Summary

Until recently, Dr. Sarah Winter, who runs a cosmetic focused practice in La Jolla CA, used two different composite systems for her direct restorative cases. She used a micro-filled composite for her anterior cases for high polishability and a bulk fill for her posterior cases which provided lots of strength. But recently, she found one material that actually does both, offering strength and esthetics. According to Dr. Winter, this newer material has made her life and her staff's a whole lot easier. Today we'll talk about her transition to this new restorative composite.
