SCOMSA staff enjoyed a private, luxury charter to Lake Placid. A breathtaking gondola trip to the snowy 4800’ peak of Whiteface delivered a warm holiday feeling, despite temperatures of 10 degrees below zero. This staff appreciation event rounded out with a gourmet, fireside meal at the grand, Whiteface Lodge, while overlooking beautiful and serene Lake Placid. 4 DR. BULFORD Coming off the long and cold winter, Dr. Bulford headed for warm and sunny Florida to attend the Biomet 3i “Practical Solutions for Immediate Full-Arch Restoration” featuring Diem® 2. This seminar demonstrated a practical approach for delivering cost-effective provisional prosthesis on the same day of implant placement for patients with debilitating dentition, who seek rehabilitation to regain quality of life. 5 ‘Stache Bash! SCOMSA created a fun baby shower for one of our nurses expecting her first baby. Everyone grabbed a ‘stache and joined the bash! The proud parents welcomed their, “Little man” in March. Congratulations! Luckily, Dr. Bulford was able to also kick back and enjoy some deep sea fishing…Wahoo!
