IT'S TIME TO GROW
Hi, I’m Michael Sonick, DMD. I have been a clinical periodontist and implant surgeon for the past 40 years. My passion is teaching and helping others to become the best at what they do.
Over the past four decades, I have had the privilege to help thousands of patients achieve ideal oral health in my dental clinic. I have held faculty appointments at Yale School of Medicine, University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine, and New York University. I have published the textbook Implant Site Development, which has been published in many languages and is used around the world.
I have been fortunate to mentor and educate many dental students and dentists. I have enjoyed assisting them to become better clinicians and build successful practices and careers.
In my newest book, Treating People Not Patients, I share the systems and philosophies which I have employed to build a successful state-of-the-art, fee-for-service practice. I promise to share everything I know so that you can develop the hospitality strategies that will unleash your fullest potential.
I am committed to your success!

If you’re ready to develop the strategies needed to grow your business and knock it out of the park, these programs are for you. I have two goals for every decision I make. One, will this decision or change lead to an increase in competency? Two, will this decision or change lead to a decrease in stress? My goal is to help you achieve these goals.
