Collaborating with others on complex cases. “After working with orthodontists on dentofacial-deformity cases, I’ve learned more about dentofacial growth patterns and long-term orthodontic stability,” he says. “I learn the most from these types of cases, because I’m able
to learn how to analyze things from a different perspective.”

Philosophy

“Always be honest with patients, even when that may not be what they want to hear. I understand people aren’t exactly thrilled about having oral surgery. It’s my goal to make every patient have the best experience possible by minimizing any confusion or anxiety.”

Exciting New Trend

“3D technology to plan implant and jaw surgery and reconstruction cases. It enables us to start from where we want the final result to be and work our way backward from there.”
