  • "The fellowship program has positively changed and improved my approach to implant dentistry and now I feel confident enough to place my own implants and to take the next step and start sinus grafting when needed. Excellent up to date PowerPoint presentations, live surgery videos and class materials (hands on models, binders, extra papers, etc). Lectures are always an interactive experience, in a relaxed, fun, yet professional style. You will learn the DO's, DONT'S and everything you wanted to know from Dr. Faraje's vast experience."
