Why Did You Want to Become a Dentist?

Dr. Cannady decided to become a dentist after he graduated from Michigan State University. He had explored many career options, including computer science, biomedical engineering, and medicine, but none of these checked all of the boxes he was looking for in his work life.

What he found is that he loved the many different options the profession offers day to day. Dentistry involves wearing a lot of "hats"- medicine, engineering, art, psychology, and business to name a few. This keeps it interesting and motivates him to always learn more!

Where Did You Study Dentistry?

Dr. Cannady earned a B.S. in Physiology before going on to graduate from the Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine. Before acquiring this practice, he gained experience working as a dentist along the Atlantic coast of Florida. It was during this time that he obtained the confidence and experience he needed as a dental practice owner.

During his time as a Clearwater dentist, Dr. Cannady has taken nearly 300 hours of continuing education, including courses involving full mouth rehabilitations, occlusion, root canals, Invisalign, dental implants, and sedation dentistry. He is also actively involved with the American Dental Association, Florida Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, and American Academy of Implant Dentistry.
