Lyschik, Dr. Mark Musso, Taylor Shumway, Kyle Wallace As the North Texas dental community faces the challenges of coronavirus, the team at North Texas Dentistry thoughts and prayers are with each of you as dental practices navigate this unprece- dented time. We are pleased to present Helm Dental Laboratory as this issue’s cover feature. Beginning his 27 th year, Kurtis Helm continues to be a leader in the laboratory community. Helm Dental has just opened a 6,000 square-foot facility across the street from the current location. The new building includes a 2,000 square-foot learning center with an attached clinical suite and is equipped with the latest in digital technologies. It is definitely the lab of the future! In a Custom Profile on pages 12-13, Comprehensive Sleep Services ™ shares a unique opportunity for North Texas dentists to grow their practice by incorpo- rating the treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea for their patients. The profile covers the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of the CSS program. Smiles in the Spotlight highlights a case by Dr. Deji Fashemo, in collaboration with Dr. Anna Willison and Dr. Randy Sanovich. It is an amazing transformation of a young lady’s smile using orthodontics, oral surgery and restorative dentistry. Timely editorial rounds out this issue. News and Notes recaps the Give Kids A Smile event held in February; Texas A&M College of Dentistry announces the open- ing of their new clinical building and Legal Corner addresses considerations when naming your practice.
