The Denobi Awards, an industry-wide dental awards program celebrating excellent people and dental groups, held its fourth annual red-carpet gala right this moment and named 10 people and two dental groups as recipients.

The Denobi Awards Gala is the premier celebration recognizing and honoring excellence in dentistry and is targeted on honoring “unsung heroes” from all roles in dentistry – those that’ve made excellent contributions to the world-wide dental {industry}. With the 2024 gala solely sponsored by John Stamper Media, a whole bunch of nominations had been acquired and a shortlist was launched in January. In partnership with the Nationwide Cell & Teledentistry Convention, the celebrated gala happened on March 2, 2024 in Dallas, TX.

“Denobi Shortlisters and Winners have gone on to do superb issues all over the world! For some, it’s been instrumental in advancing their careers. For others, it’s helped them launch organizations, kickstart initiatives, obtain funding and work towards legislative and {industry} change,” acknowledged Melissa Turner, co-founder. “Huge issues are on the best way for The Denobi Awards program, and we’re excited to make a fair larger impression sooner or later!”

This 12 months’s gala was hosted by {industry} leaders Katrina Sanders and Dale Stewart and launched a brand new award, the Talking Consulting Community Rising Star Award. The night culminated with the presentation of the Dr. Lou Shuman Denobi Pinnacle Achievement Award, this system’s highest honor recognizing a person whose management and ongoing contributions have dramatically impacted the occupation. The recipient of the 2024 pinnacle award is Noah Levine, Editorial Director at MJH Life Sciences.

“Successful a Denobi Award is not like the rest in dentistry as winners be a part of an elite group of leaders at
the forefront of change and innovation. We’re proud this isn’t a reputation contest, “ acknowledged Sonya Dunbar, co-founder. “As a substitute, this system is targeted on giving honor the place honor is due and bringing consciousness to the excellent initiatives the nominees are participating in.”
