Lola is recognised as the influential force behind many innovative techniques that have become widely used in the cosmetic dental industry today, which include multi-media awareness campaigns that successfully educate consumers about the benefits of cosmetic dentistry.

After being directly involved in thousands of cosmetic dentistry cases and gaining an intimate understanding of the impact a confident smile can have on a person's self esteem, Lola is now directing her tireless energy to her
latest inspiration - Cosmetic Dentistry Grants -(www.cosmeticdentistrygrants.org) a research, information and funding organization that will provide up to $1 million each year in cosmetic dentistry grants to candidates that wish to improve their smile and self-confidence.

When she's not revolutionizing new concepts that help make cosmetic dentistry accessible and cost-free, Lola is travelling the world, spending many weeks each year educating herself about upcoming trends, advances
and improvements in the area of reconstructive (implant) dentistry.
