Hero Story from the Contact Center
Earlier this week, I spoke with a gentleman whose story deeply moved me. In 2016, he was shot in the face during a robbery—a traumatic event that shattered the left side of his jaw. Since then, he’s lived with a metal plate and no teeth on that side, making it extremely painful and difficult to chew. He also mentioned having a smaller-than-average jaw, which adds further complexity to his condition.
Despite everything, he came across as warm, sincere, and hopeful. At one point, he said quietly, “I just don’t want to live like this anymore.” His words weren’t dramatic—they were honest, vulnerable. He’s now taking the first steps toward restoring his dental health and rebuilding his self-esteem.
20FORD: Reseda
We gifted our hero Lily a small bracelet with a lily design, as a thoughtful gesture to reflect her name. This was done to help her feel more comfortable, valued, and personally cared for during her visit

HR NEWS! 🚨🚨🚨
Teams - HR needs your help to improve the timecard process. Please review and follow the required steps below.
Timecard Submission & Approval Process
Employees: Submit your timecard at the end of each workday. Review and make any needed corrections daily. Do not wait until the last day of the pay period or payroll day to make updates.
Final Submission: All timecards must be submitted by the end of the last day of the pay period.
Managers: Review and approve timecards the day after the pay period ends.
Important: Once a manager has approved a timecard, additional employee changes cause payroll corrections. To avoid this, employees must finalize and submit changes before manager approval.
We want to hear what you think!
HR is also rolling out an online suggestion box for all Employees. We want you to feel comfortable sharing ideas, thoughts, suggestions, and issues. It is anonymous. Let us know how we can work together to make your GPS Home even better.

Focus on Bakersfield - How did month one go?
And just like that, Dental Implants GPS Bakersfield is officially open. Our first month in Bakersfield was a HUGE success! 16 lives changed and 5 heroes already en route to receiving their finals. I could not be more proud of our wonderful team. They are learning fast, growing quickly, and becoming champions of great culture. We want to thank the whole Dental Implants GPS organization for supporting us, this would not have been possible without YOU. It’s been a blast and we are excited to start the fourth quarter with a bang!!! We. Are. Bakersfield.
