Q: What is unique about your practice?
A: We are highly specialized in what we do, and despite operating one of the area’s more established periodontics and implant dentistry practices, we treat each patient with a personal touch. At Falls Church Periodontics & Dental Implant Center, we work closely with patients, tailoring solutions to their specific needs and budgets. Our practice employs the latest technologies, including lasers, 3-D scanners, 3-D X-rays and 3-D printing for computer guided surgery. Furthermore, we extend this technology to our referring dentists, fostering collaborative, comprehensive patient care. As the Editor-in-Chief for the newsletter of the world’s premier dental implant organization: Academy of Osseointegration, Dr. Favagehi stays up to date about the latest in implant dentistry. Dr. Christopher is a recognized leader in periodontal plastic surgery and gingival grafting around teeth.
Q: What is one thing your patients should know about you?
A: We’re both teachers—and we believe to truly master a subject, you should teach it—which helps us explain even the most complicated treatments to our patients so they can understand and make informed decisions. Dr. Christopher has served as a clinical instructor at several universities, including the University of Maryland Dental School. Dr. Favagehi has received a teaching award from the American Academy of Periodontology for his work as a clinical instructor at VCU Dental School for more than 25 years. Both doctors are active presenters at many dental meetings in the U.S. and abroad.
Drs. Christopher and Favagehi met while they were residents at The Ohio State University. They’ve been married for over 25 years. They’re both board-certified specialists in periodontics and dental implant surgery by the American Board of Periodontology. Patients are accepted through referrals from general dentists or by calling the office directly to schedule a consultation.
