Dental Tribune Middle East & Africa Edition | July-August 2015 37interview Dr. Michael Apa Apa Aesthetic Dental & Cosmetic Centre 63 Al Thanya St, Villa B Umm Suqeim 2, Jumeirah, Dubai, UAE T: 047091000 | F: 043216224 Contact Information < Page 36 ic offer and what are some of the dental systems used? We are a full service clinic with an accent on aesthetic dentistry. We do hygiene, porcelain fill- ings, crowns, veneers, implant surgery, grafting, you name it. With such a busy schedule, how do you stay up to date in the field of dentistry? Are there any courses, conferences and programs which you fol- low in the region or are they mostly back in the USA? Fortunately I am also on the lec- ture circuit, which puts me in at least 10 major conferences a year with top speakers from all over the world. Not only will I watch their lectures, but would be able to collaborate as well as to what everyone is doing. The region has seen you lec- ture at various events such as the Current Concepts in American Dentistry NYU and the Dental Facial Cosmetic Int’l Conference. What are some of the hot topic concepts which you speak about during your lectures? I typically speak about facially generated treatment planning and multi-disciplinary aesthetic treatment. How do you rate the level of dentistry in the Middle East? Do you see areas which need major improvement? It is unfair for me to say one way or the other because I haven’t seen enough of it to make an opinion, but in today’s world of online education, I see no rea- son why it should be any differ- ent than any other place. The Middle East has every opportu- nity to be great just like the rest of the world. In fact, I personally have given many lectures in the Middle East over the years. Dr. Michael Apa, thank you for your time and we Dental Trib- une MEA wishes you all the best with your practice in Dubai.
