💫 Sandi Synstad, RDH has built her career strengthening the clinical side of dentistry. 💫

From clinical care to leading hygiene development across a 99-practice organization and supporting 375 hygienists, Sandi understands that exceptional patient care depends on more than individual skill.

➡️ It takes strong clinical systems.
➡️ Educated, confident teams.
➡️ Workflows that support the care being delivered.
➡️ Leaders who know how to bring all of it together.

📈 Patient Needs -> Clinical Workflows -> Chairside Reality -> Outcomes -> Experience.

Sandi’s work connects those pieces — strengthening hygiene systems, elevating clinicians and creating an environment where better care can happen consistently.

When Clinical Excellence works throughout the team, the result is Patient Impact.

💫 Better for providers. Better for patients. 💫

💫 Sierra Woods knows how to take a great idea and make it real. 💫

Innovation can show us what's possible.

➡️ Can we implement it?
➡️ Can we measure it?
➡️ Can we prove it made a difference?

That's where Sierra’s operations expertise comes in.

She understands how to take an idea, put it into practice, measure what happens, and determine whether it actually created impact.

Innovation is not about what sounds good.

It's about what creates better outcomes for both patients and providers.

💫 OFFICIAL SPONSOR of MERKABA Dental Summit: GloboDent 💫

Innovation has to do more than look impressive.

It has to work for the provider and make a meaningful difference for the patient.

That philosophy is built into GloboDent, whose approach combines dental science, technology and product development with a focus on the needs of both dental professionals and consumers.

GloboDent reflects MERKABA Dental Summit through:

➡️ Innovation
➡️ Clinical Reality
➡️ Patient Impact

The goal is not simply better technology.

It's technology that improves the experience, supports the clinician and ultimately creates better outcomes.

Thank you, GloboDent and Arturo Paiva, for supporting the MERKABA Dental Summit.

💫 OFFICIAL SPONSOR of the MERKABA Dental Summit: DrBicuspid 💫

Before innovation can change clinical practice, people have to know it exists, understand why it's important, and have a place to exchange ideas about where dentistry is going.

That is the space DrBicuspid has occupied since 2007 — connecting dental professionals with:

➡️ industry news
➡️ clinical research
➡️ expert perspectives
➡️ education

That makes them an important part of the MERKABA Dental Summit.

Transformation doesn’t happen in isolation.

It happens when the right people, information and ideas connect.

Thank you, DrBicuspid, for supporting the MERKABA Dental Summit and helping us bring that conversation to even more of the dental community.

💫 Innovation. Connection. Transformation. 💫

💫 Andreina Sucre has a clinical eye trained to notice what most overlook. 💫

Her background crosses dentistry, dental hygiene, oral surgery and oral pathology — giving her a perspective shaped by multiple sides of patient care.

She understands that Clinical Excellence is not simply knowing more.

➡️ It 's knowing what you're looking at.
➡️ Knowing when to question it.
➡️ Knowing what it means for the patient.
➡️ Knowing how to communicate it to the patient.

The ability to distinguish between description and interpretation is what leads to patient impact, and better outcomes.

💫 That's how Better Outcomes become Clinical Reality. 💫

💫 Crystal Spring brings the human element back to dentistry by making it attainable and understandable. 💫

Her 30 year career has crossed patient care, education, advocacy, access, community partnerships, medical-dental integration, nonprofit leadership and the advancement of dental hygiene itself.

She has worked in the operatory, in underserved communities, with schools, tribal nations, nursing facilities and healthcare partners — always with the same goal:

If you make care more understandable and more attainable for people, you vastly enhance their experience.

At MERKABA Dental Summit, she brings that perspective to the clinical side of the experience:

➡️ Take what we know.
➡️ Make it easier to receive.
➡️ Make it easier to understand.
➡️ And the result is better patient outcomes.

💫 That's how Better Outcomes become Clinical Reality. 💫

💫 OFFICIAL SPONSOR of the MERKABA Dental Summit: 3Shape 💫

Some companies sponsor the conversation, but some also help create the place where it happens.

3Shape has built digital dentistry around connected workflows — bringing scanning, diagnostics, patient communication, treatment planning and collaboration together in ways clinicians can actually use.

That is very much the MERKABA idea:

➡️ Technology is only the beginning.
➡️ What happens when it reaches the clinician?
➡️ What happens when it fits the workflow?
➡️ What happens when it improves the patient experience?

👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 🦷 Better outcomes for the patient.
👩‍⚕️ 👨‍⚕️ Better outcomes for the provider.

🌟 🌍 Better lives for everyone.

3Shape is helping us bring that intersection to life in Dallas in their state of the art education center.

Thank you, 3Shape, and Steve Nobles for supporting the inaugural MERKABA Dental Summit.

💫 OFFICIAL SPONSOR of the MERKABA Dental Summit: Opus Health 💫

A patient can say yes to treatment clinically — and still never receive it.

Access to care has a financial workflow too.

Opus Health connects HSA/FSA eligibility, patient education and payments so patients can better understand the funds already available to them and practices can reduce the friction between treatment acceptance and completed care.

➡️ THAT is clinical reality.

The best treatment plan in the world does not improve an outcome if the patient cannot move forward with it.

➡️ Innovation can remove barriers there, too.

Thank you, Opus Health, and Carolina (Rojas) Paduano for supporting the MERKABA Dental Summit.

💫 Better outcomes for patients. Better outcomes for providers. 💫

💫 OFFICIAL SPONSOR of the MERKABA Dental Summit: Ascend Professional Pathways 💫

Technology can be installed.
Leadership has to be developed.

Every new workflow, new idea and new way of delivering care eventually depends on people being willing and able to lead change.

Through executive coaching, leadership development and dental-focused professional development, Thomas Passalacqua, the founder of Ascend Professional Pathways helps leaders gain clarity, strengthen their capabilities and turn decisions into action.

➡️ Implementation does not happen by itself.
➡️ Someone has to take what was learned and lead the team on Monday morning.

Thank you, Thomas Passalacqua and Ascend Professional Pathways, for supporting the MERKABA Dental Summit.

💫 OFFICIAL SPONSOR of the MERKABA Dental Summit: Renfert USA 💫

Great technology should make clinical work better — not harder.

Renfert’s philosophy fits so naturally into the MERKABA conversation.

For decades, their promise has been “making work easy” — developing dental equipment, instruments and materials around the actual needs and workflows of the people using them every day.

Innovation does not become clinical reality just because it exists.

➡️ It has to fit the workflow.
➡️ It has to work for the provider.
➡️ It has to contribute to better care.

Thank you, Renfert USA, for supporting the inaugural MERKABA Dental Summit.
