Hello everyone, my name is Rodrigo Bastida. I am studying Restorative Dentistry at The New York City College of Technology. I decide to pursue this career because I find it interesting. I love the level of skill that is required to create a crown or a pair of dentiures. I enjoy working with my hands and  starting from nothing. I love the feeling you get when you finally finish and you step back and see what you yourself have created. My goal for the future is to have my own lab, and to be happy doing what I enjoy doing, which is creating smiles.
