Resident Spotlight: Dr. Cami Belean<\/h1>\n

\"\"Dr. Cami Belean knew from a young age that she wanted to be a dentist. She did not
\nknow anything about dentistry, but as a little girl Dr. Belean would ask her grandmother
\nto share her food, but she did not have the teeth. From the age of six, Dr. Belean dreamt
\nof becoming a dentist so she could\u00a0make sure her grandmother had teeth to keep.<\/p>\n

Dr. Belean received her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree in Romania from Victor
\nBabes University of Timisoara. And then earned her second Doctor of Dental Surgery
\ndegree from the New York University College of Dentistry. She now owns a small
\nprivate practice in Austin, Texas and is moving towards a more holistic and biologic
\napproach in her dentistry. \u201cBioRejuvenation is a big part of this,\u201d says Dr. Belean. \u201cI
\ndon\u2019t know why a lot of dentists aren\u2019t looking into this. I consider myself one of the
\nlucky ones to start at The Stewart Center because it will grow, and it has already changed
\nmy life in such a great way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before Dr. Belean discovered The Stewart Center, she was trying to find a solution to her
\nhusband\u2019s dental problems. He had extensive occlusal wear, hardly ever smiled, and was
\nnot able to chew his food well. Specialists all told her the same thing \u2013 full mouth crown
\ncase. But this did not sit well with Dr. Belean since he was already damaging everything
\nin his mouth. Dr. Belean was about to give up when she heard Dr. Hal Stewart lecture
\nand saw what he did in his office on a daily basis. Then everything clicked. \u201cI don\u2019t want
\nto do anything else. This is what I want to do!\u201d thought Dr. Belean. After the session, Dr.
\nBelean sought out Dr. Stewart and told him right away she wanted to join The Stewart
\nCenter.<\/p>\n

The Stewart Center \u201csaved my office in an amazing way,\u201d says Dr. Belean. \u201cThere is so
\nmuch more that I can do for my patients now because of what I know. I had patients in
\npain and I was doing the same thing as everybody else \u2013 night guard and soft diet. But
\nnow I have patients who\u2019ve been pain-free for months, and I\u2019m expecting them to stay
\nlike that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Stewart Center gave me what I was looking for. If I had kept going in the same<\/strong>
\ndirection, I would not be healthy and happy. The Stewart Center gave me the option\u00a0to move towards my goals.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Besides The Stewart Center, Dr. Belean has also received training is cosmetics,
\nendodontics, and implant dentistry. She once did a year-long implant residency program\u00a0in San Antonio, but by the end, she was so nervous to even touch an implant. \u201cThe\u00a0Stewart Center was the complete opposite,\u201d says Dr. Belean. \u201cEveryone at the center\u00a0encouraged me that I could do it. The support was unbelievable compared to any other\u00a0program I\u2019ve ever been to.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Stewart Center prides itself on the hands-on learning done during the residency. \u201cThe
\nfirst session starts with hands-on,\u201d says Dr. Belean. \u201cYou\u2019re given a plan for when you
\ngo home with points to accomplish before the next session. It\u2019s so organized and made
\nmy life and the follow through so much easier.<\/p>\n

Dr. Belean finally found the answers and helped her husband during her residency at The
\nStewart Center. She stabilized his joint with a Condylar Centering Orthotic (C2O)
\nappliance and then completed a full mouth, minimally invasive, restoration.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amazing to know that I can really help my patients, not just manage their\u00a0symptoms.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Belean\u2019s passion for BioRejuvenation Dentistry and helping her patients is only
\ngoing to grow and we cannot wait to see what all she accomplishes in the years to come!<\/p>\n<\/div>
