Dr. Monica Estes is an endodontist, entrepreneur, author, and educator committed to redefining what is possible within the specialty. As the founder and CEO of Innovative Endodontics, she has built a growing, privately owned practice organization centered on clinical excellence, exceptional experiences, strong teams, and thoughtful leadership.

Her career has shown her that becoming an excellent clinician is only one part of building a meaningful and successful professional life. Leadership, communication, business knowledge, mentorship, and intentional decision-making all shape the careers endodontists create and the impact they leave behind. Through speaking, education, and her book, Innovative Endodontics: Redefining Excellence in Today’s Endodontic Practice, Monica shares the practical lessons she has learned while building and leading modern specialty practices.

Today, her work is focused on creating more opportunities for the next generation of endodontists. She is developing new pathways for mentorship, partnership, ownership, and independent practice growth while challenging outdated ideas about what an endodontic career should look like. Her goal is not simply to build larger practices, but to elevate the specialty and help endodontists lead with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.
