Take it from Dr. Michelle Farnoush: There are many ways to achieve a goal. Recently honored as one of the Incisal Edge 40 Under 40, this Nevada-based dentist is living proof that embracing a non-traditional route to dentistry can lead to success. She shares her personal journey with Benco Dental Managing Director Rich Cohen, host of today’s Driving Dentistry Forward podcast.

“You need to embrace that path. I’m proof that you don’t have to go the traditional route, and you need to take advantage of those experiences….We live in a world where social proof is very relevant. And doing other things makes you more well-rounded. You can connect better. You have better experiences. Don’t be afraid of that. It’s OK. You can still get to your goal.”

For Dr. Farnoush, the world of dentistry is a perfect fit for her high standards and continuous strive for excellence. Helping patients at Summerlin Center for Aesthetic Dentistry in Las Vegas build confidence over time and enjoy a higher quality of life is extremely rewarding for her, and it’s hard for her to imagine having any other career.
