The Smilist Management

At The Smilist, we're not just interested in excellent patient service and inspiring our teams to work toward our mission: making lives better one smile at a time. We're also excited about opportunities to share knowledge in the field and inspire other dental service organizations. Thomas Passalacqua, Director of Business Development at The Smilist, recently participated in the 2024 Buy Side discussion panel at 11th annual Dykema DSO Industry Group's DSO Conference. The conference included workshops on topics such as sales and attracting new patients. On the panel, Thomas provided insight about how The Smilist approaches growth and affiliations with new practices, what the recruitment strategy at The Smilist looks like, how The Smilist considers associate dentist's ambitions, and much more. #businessdevelopment #dso #dykema #industryexperts

The Smilist is excited to introduce one of our newest team members, Dr. Dan Kirk, who is a skilled oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Dr. Kirk completed dental school at UConn School of Dental Medicine followed by medical school, as well as his surgical residency, at the world-renowned Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. During his residency, he gained invaluable experience in head and neck reconstructive and microvascular surgery, cleft and craniofacial surgery, corrective jaw surgery, and trauma surgery training under some of the world’s most talented and well-known surgeons. Following residency, Dr. Kirk continued his education by completing an intensive year-long American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery accredited general and facial cosmetic surgery fellowship. Dr. Kirk practices in the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery as well as cosmetic surgery, both surgical and minimally invasive with an emphasis on facial cosmetic surgery. Dr. Kirk is internationally published and has presented his work at The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery’s annual Aesthetic Meeting as well as the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery’s Annual Scientific Meeting. His contribution to the field of cosmetic surgery has led him to be selected as a peer reviewer for the American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery. Dr. Kirk’s care for his patients and his practice of surgery exemplifies the Mayo Clinic core philosophy, “the best interest of the patient is the only interest to be considered.” If you'd like to book a consultation with Dr. Kirk, please visit www.thesmilist.com #oralsurgeon #cosmeticprocedures #patientsfirst #newsmiles

Meet Nicole, our amazing dental hygienist who recently saved a life during a routine cleaning! While performing a standard check-up, Nicole noticed an unusual spot on a patient’s gums. She did a scan and recommended a follow-up with a specialist, and it turned out to be early-stage cancer. Thanks to Nicole's keen eye and expertise, the patient started treatment and credits Nicole for saving her life! This is a powerful reminder of how crucial regular dental visits are, not just for your smile, but for your overall health. Never underestimate the importance of those bi-annual check-ups! 🦷🪥 #DentalHeroes #HealthMatters #LifeSaved #ThankYouNicole #OralHealth #RoutineCheckUp
