A confident smile can change more than a person’s appearance—it can change how they experience life.
Every orthognathic surgery patient has a unique story, and it’s a privilege to help them restore function, facial harmony, and confidence.
Thank you, Patrisha, for allowing us to be part of your journey.

Double jaw surgery isn't just about changing a face.
It's about restoring function, improving facial harmony, optimizing the bite, and often improving the airway—all through meticulous planning and precise execution.
The best outcomes begin long before the operating room.

The best implant surgery starts long before the first implant is placed.
It starts with the smile.
The restorative endpoint should drive the surgical plan—not the other way around.
Digital planning and robotic guidance have elevated our ability to execute precisely, but no technology can overcome a poor treatment plan.
Plan the smile. Execute the surgery.

The best practices aren’t built on talent alone. They’re built on systems.
Clinical skill is essential—but it isn’t enough.
Exceptional practices are created through disciplined systems, consistent decision-making, clear standards, and a culture where everyone knows what excellence looks like.
Great clinicians can still struggle if every day feels reactive.
The practices that continue to grow year after year are the ones that replace chaos with process and individual effort with intentional leadership.
That’s true whether you’re placing one implant or leading an entire organization.
Skill gets you started. Systems determine how far you go.
What do you think is the biggest differentiator between a good practice and a great one?

What’s more important: the surgical plan or the restorative plan?
It’s a question that sparks strong opinions in implant dentistry.
In this conversation with Dr. Shahin Safarian, we discuss the relationship between surgery and restoration—and why separating the two may be the wrong way to think about treatment planning.
Great outcomes aren’t created by choosing one over the other. They’re created when both disciplines work together from the very beginning.
So what do you think?
If you had to choose just one, which is more important: the surgical plan or the restorative plan?
I’d love to hear your perspective.

You don’t place teeth where the bone is. You place teeth where the teeth belong.
That simple concept represents one of the biggest shifts in modern implant surgery.
Too often, treatment plans are dictated by existing anatomy. The better approach is to begin with the desired restorative outcome, then determine how to safely and predictably support it.
Sometimes that means bone grafting.
Sometimes it means angled implants.
Sometimes it means pterygoid or zygomatic implants.
The objective isn’t simply to place implants. It’s to restore the patient with function, esthetics, and long-term stability in mind.
Digital planning allows us to start with the final restoration and work backward—making every surgical decision more precise and more intentional.
Treatment planning should drive surgery—not the other way around.

Implant complications are among the most difficult situations we encounter in dentistry.
When they occur, our first responsibility is to care for the patient—not to assign blame.
But once a treatment complication has been addressed, an important question remains:
Who assumes the financial responsibility?
Is it the surgeon?
The restorative doctor?
The patient?
Or is the responsibility shared?
There is no universal answer. Every situation depends on the specific clinical circumstances, the treatment plan, informed consent, communication among providers, and, most importantly, doing what is fair and ethical for the patient.
In this video, we discuss one of the most challenging—and often avoided—topics in implant dentistry.
I’d be interested in hearing your philosophy.
How does your practice approach financial responsibility when implant complications occur?

Not every patient needs a bone graft for a full-arch implant restoration.
One of the most common questions I hear from patients considering All-on-X treatment is:
“Will I need a bone graft?”
The answer is: not necessarily.
Advances in implant surgery have given us more treatment options than ever before. In carefully selected patients, techniques such as pterygoid implants may allow us to provide a stable, long-lasting foundation for a new smile while avoiding more extensive bone grafting.
That doesn’t mean this approach is right for everyone. Every patient is unique, and the best treatment begins with a comprehensive examination, advanced 3D imaging, and a personalized surgical plan.
In this short video, I explain why I often consider pterygoid implants when planning full-arch cases.
If you’re considering full-arch dental implants, know that you may have more options than you realize.
