Family & Cosmetic Dentistry
Our Masters Lab Technicians work seamlessly with Dr Donnelly through each of the stages of design, architecture, fabrication, try in and final delivery. People often assume that it is only the dentist who takes center stage when it comes to smile makeovers, when it is actually the teamwork between the dentist and Lab Technicians that creates superior aesthetic results. They challenge each other and push boundaries to elevate standards of beauty and technical perfection.
Quint Whipple, CDT, owns Phoenician Dental Studio and is our Master Ceramist. He specializes in creating natural esthetic and cosmetic restorations that are not only beautiful, but often undetectable. He is a 20 year member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) and has served on AACD Board of Directors for 6 years and is a two-time AACD Smile Gallery winner.
