I advocate for you with a 1:1 coach to prioritize your wellness. Offering practical tips and heartfelt encouragement to empower you on your journey with balance and fulfillment.
I’ve practiced clinical dentistry for over 13 years and have a doctorate and master’s in dentistry and Operative & Biomaterials. I educate dentists, transform dental clinics, and serve in the military full-time, all with two young children.
If you’re a high achiever, I’m right there with you! So much so, that I stressed my body into developing chronic pain syndrome. I now live my life balancing wellness with my passion for dentistry.
My goal is to share all that I’ve learned with you over the years and live a more balanced life through a fulfilling career without hard lessons.
Let's get started!
Spilling the tea!
As a 2022 dental school graduate where 2 of my dental school years were remote due to COVID, I felt unprepared and lacked confidence entering the work force. I was a good student all my life and thought I knew the basic filling and crown prep, but each patient case humbled my brain of all I had yet to learn.
I’m so thankful to have reached out to Dr. Charlie Cage and gained her mentorship the last 2 years.
We started by identifying what I felt I wanted to work on clinically and made tangible goals I could achieve with her remote mentorship. This included implementing digital photography with my Nikon camera to document my cases, class 2 preparation and restorations to anatomical form, and designing adhesive crown/onlay preparations.
I reviewed patient cases with Dr. Cage using intra oral photos, x rays, and digital scans and was able to create a reproducible workflow for treatment. This helped me to predict possible complications, communicate well with the patient, and feel more confident in my abilities as a provider.
Dr. Cage’s expertise as an esthetic and adhesive restorative specialist goes far beyond her dental knowledge. She takes a unique interest in each one of her mentee’s well being and mental health along the way. Understanding that dentistry can take a toll on the provider both physically and emotionally, I really appreciate that she reminded me to have grace and fun along the journey. She offered me room to discuss my mistakes and ways to improve and cheered me on every step of the way.
As I enter my third year of practicing dentistry, I know I will always have room to improve but am really proud of how far I have learned and come with Dr. Cage’s mentorship. .”
