Favagehi M Ms DDS

I have been very pleased with Dr. Favagehi. I have had some very unusual dental problems and he sought the input from expert periodontists before deciding how to handle my situation. He is very caring and compassionate and takes the time to explain things and answer any questions you might have. His charges for his services have been very modest. He will go the extra mile to be sure that what he is doing is right. I would highly recommend him for anyone having periodontal problems.

I have been going to Dr. Favagehi for over 3 years. Before that I was not going at all because every dentist I went to was unsatisfactory; I would have panic attacks if forced to go to a dentist. I was referred to Dr. Favagehi by a friend and am forever grateful. I have multiple implants in the bottom and top of my mouth. Dr. Favagehi walked me through the process and is the kindest and most comprehensive dentist I have ever been to. My fear was replaced by unwavering trust in his ability and judgment. I have more work to be done (eventually and unfortunately all my teeth will probably need to be replaced!) and because he is always on top of new procedures and technology, I’m confident that the work will be the best. I recommend Dr. Favagehi to anyone with fear and mistrust of other dentists. He and his top-​notch staff will take care of all your dental concerns.

Where to start. .. I have had so many dental problems over the years and went from one dentist to the next trying to resolve them but had only occasional success until I found Dr. Favagehi. I don’t even remember where I got the recommendation to go to him so many years ago, but it was the best decision possible. I have a large bridge that he had created and put in for me (the result of a running accident) before implants were a reasonable option for front teeth. I also have 6 implants that he has placed for me and they are all perfect. The practice is very modern and up-​to-​date on advances in periodontal dentistry. The hygenists are gentle and absolutely wonderful. The pricing is much more reasonable than friends have experienced at DC dental practices and they accept many kinds of dental insurance. I cannot rate this practice higher than I did, but if I could, I would.

Dr. Favagehi placed an implant in my tooth in the spring of 2010 and I’ve had nothing but problems with the tooth since. The implant was placed in my jaw crooked, so, when my dentist placed the abutment and crown on, the tooth looked very misaligned with wide gaps on either side, sticking out dramatically toward my cheek. I have had chronic problems with my gums around it and shooting pain when I chew that throbs for hours afterward.
Unfortunately, we are military and no longer live there and have a different dental plan now, so I have no recourse through insurance. Additionally, I am having to have that implant replaced with a custom abutment and new crown to try to correct all the problems, costing us close to $ 1000 out of pocket in addition to what I originally paid Dr. Favagehi for the implant work. This was my first implant and crown, so I had no idea what to expect or how it should look.
In the interim, I had a different implant on another molar done by a dentist in Texas that is perfect and has caused zero problems.
It’s been a bit frustrating to say the least. Chronic pain is no fun. I don’t even chew on that side anymore and have heat and cold sensitivity around that implant. It must go.
I think they should refund me my out-​of-​pocket expenses for that bad implant at a minimum. And it would be most appropriate to cover my current additional expenses to repair it as well. That would be the ethical thing to do. When you pay thousands of dollars for dental work, it should be right or they should fix it for free. I shouldn’t have to suffer AND pay double for their error.
Caveat emptor.

I consider myself unfortunately an expert when it comes to dentist and periodontist. When my general dentist referred me to Dr. Favagehi I thought «here we go again» boy was I surprised!!! Dr. Favagehi is TOP NOTCH! He is super smart and stays up on cutting edge procedures. He listens to you and helps you makes informed decisions about next steps of care. He is certainly passionate and very compassionate! I recommend him to any and everyone that would need these types of services. His one assistant (can’t recall her name at the moment) has been with Dr. Favagehi for 8+years and is just lovely! Can’t say enough great things about this Dr and his staff! Thank you for giving me a beautiful smile!

This is by FAR the best periodontist that I have ever had the chance to work with. His knowledge is A+++++ and his abilities are beyond A++++++. Trust me, I am a very picky person (read my other Unilocal reviews) and I can tell you that if you need any periodontal work or implant work that this is the person to go to.

I highly recommend Dr. Mehrdad Favagehi (Dr. F). I am someone who has had 59 years of challenging dental problems & procedures due to a bicycle accident which affected my permanent teeth. Dr. F is truly an outstanding dental specialist. And I know dentists!
Dr. F completed 2 implants & consulted on other problem teeth for me. Dr F & his staff are gentle, considerate & technically adept. Dr. F explained the implant process & kept me informed. I had no pain during or following the implants. When I had complications following one implant, Dr. F kept me pain free, analyzed my issue, explained it to me & made plans for a successful implant. My costs for the second procedure for that implant were minimal. Prescriptions were provided & instructions were very clear. When I called with questions on a weekend, Dr. F quickly returned my call & followed up later to check on me.
I recently asked him to assess another one of my problem teeth. He said that the tooth was not a candidate for either root canal or implant given it’s position in my mouth. He warned me of a future, not imminent, root canal problem. I am very impressed by Dr. F’s knowledge, judgment, skills & concern. He takes the time to listen, understand and explain.
