He is one of only a handful of dentists who are fully certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support. Much of his training has been in the field of dental implant placement and laser surgery. Dr. Daniel was the first periodontist in Fort Worth to use the advanced technique of laser surgery.
Dr. Daniel is a member of all relevant general dental associations including: the American Dental Association, Texas Dental Association, and Fort Worth District Dental Society.

LANAP is a gentle, conservative, non-invasive method of treating gum disease without cutting, suturing or removing tissue. Using a precision laser, the Doctor is able to kill up to 99% of the disease-causing bacteria in the periodontal pockets. Because there is no defense against the laser, the bacteria can not adapt and avoid elimination as with antibiotic treatment.
He has been involved with dental implants since the early days of its development in North America and has successfully placed over 7,000 implants for patients with varied clinical needs ranging from single teeth replacements to full mouth rehabilitation.
