Dr. Osman knew from a young age that he would be going into the medical field, thanks to his parents’ overenthusiastic prodding that he become a doctor. However, as he grew up and continued his education, he realized what his biggest strengths were – working with his hands, building things, tackling new challenges, and most importantly, making other people happy. He quickly realized that the dental field encompassed all of these elements, and the rest is history. Today, he feels so honored and blessed to be a dentist, and he sincerely does whatever it takes to put his patients’ best interests first. Most people hate visiting the dentist’s office, but the amazing experience he and his team provides changes all of that!

After attending Rutgers for his undergraduate degree, Dr. Osman pursued his doctorate from the prestigious New York University College of Dentistry. During his junior and senior years, he worked closely with the Director of Esthetics on cases that were only meant for post-graduate students. This was because he demonstrated exceptional clinical skills and was eager to learn! His top goal is to provide patients with the most exceptional and state-of-the-art care possible.

While in dental school he was awarded the National Disaster Medical System Appreciation letter for his efforts during the Oklahoma City Bombing, the Teledyne Removable Prothedontic outstanding student award, the Oral Pathology outstanding student award, and completed a mini-residency in the Advanced Education in General Dentistry department.

Learning didn’t stop after graduating from dental school, Dr. Moody knew that incorporating dental implants into his practice was the right thing to do for his patients. He attended the prestigious Misch International Implant Institute where he was awarded a fellowship and mastership.

Providing quality dental care to rural America is a priority of Dr. Moody’s, he is the owner of Horizon West Dental Group which has multiple locations in western Nebraska providing state of the art dental care with the latest in technology by some of the most highly trained dentists around.

In 2008 Dr. Moody limited his practice to the field of dental implants by opening the first Dental Implant Center in Rapid City South Dakota. 

___________________________________________________

In this episode, we were live at AAID! Dr. Moody talks about how he got into implant dentistry, practicing with his childhood dentist, and a few of the strangest things he’s seen in his practice.

This superhero helped change lives in rural Nebraska by educating patients on the importance of modern practices. While treating his patients, he discovered that dentures, partials, and bridges were not the best solutions and that dental implants were the way to go.

Lastly, he discusses a few things that hygienists need to know when someone has gotten an implant done by someone else, in order to spot early signs of an implant failure.

Stay tuned until the very end of the podcast for a spicy conversation! Let us know what you peeps think about it.
