Hello!

Rooted in nearly two decades of friendship, grit, and professional growth, Project ConfiDents goes beyond surface-level conversations about practicing dentistry.

Dr. Amrita Patel and Dr. Diana Nguyen pull back the curtain on what it really takes to lead, learn, and evolve in a profession that’s constantly changing. Through unfiltered dialogue, lived experience, and a shared commitment to lifting others, they explore the mindset, mentorship, and momentum behind building a meaningful career.

Their mission: to empower the next generation of dental professionals with insight, humor, and reflection to build the lives and careers that they deserve.

Project ConfiDents is available to stream on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.
