“I couldn’t ask for a more rewarding job. Nothing makes me happier than to be part of the transformation of a nervous new patient who is anxious to even chat with me in the conference room to a confident, smiling member of the Lund Dental family. I love the intellectual and technical parts of dentistry and being able to apply my skills to make a difference in someone’s life. And, I can truly say my job is fun. Catching up with patients, learning about their lives, and fostering long-term relationships makes each day enjoyable.”

I have been practicing as a general dentist for over 20 years at Lund Dental Associates in Stoneham, MA. While I love all aspects of dentistry, my passions are Invisalign (I became a certified provider in 2003) and cosmetic dentistry, including veneers and Bioclear.

Prior to becoming a dentist, I worked as a financial analyst at Goldman Sachs in New York City. Within the first year of my job, I knew a career in finance would not provide me with the job fulfillment for which I was looking. As a child I always knew how much my father loved his job; he described being a top-rated dentist as the perfect combination of science and engineering, technical skills, and interpersonal interactions. I applied to dental school on gut instinct, and it was the best decision I ever made.

Comprehensive Dentistry with iTero Scanners: How to Keep Your iTero Scanners in Constant Motion All Day Long
iTero

In less than one year, Dr. Cara Lund’s general dentistry practice went from having an out-of-date digital scanner to 3 iTeros scanners that are in constant motion all day long. Every member of the clinical team scans, and oral health scans are a normal and expected part of new patient and hygiene appointments. During this webinar Dr. Lund will discuss her team’s digital journey and how she got her whole team on board with routine oral health scans and talking dentistry, especially Invisalign. Dr. Lund will highlight how a new-hire hygienist was scanning on live patients in less than 2 weeks and loving it. She will also discuss the positive impact routine oral health scans have had on treatment acceptance for both restorative dentistry and Invisalign and how she uses the iTero for all aspects of dentistry.
