Experience
From routine cases to trauma care.
Range matters in surgery. Experience with difficult cases shapes how a surgeon plans the everyday ones.
Outpatient surgery
Implants, extractions and wisdom teeth, done in the office with local anesthesia, nitrous oxide or IV sedation.
Facial reconstruction
Complex reconstruction of the jaws and facial bones, well beyond routine office surgery.
High-risk trauma
Care for serious facial injuries at Level 1 trauma centers, the hospitals that handle the most severe cases.
Philosophy
You are part of the plan.
Dr. Abtin spends most of a consultation listening. He wants to hear what is bothering you, what you have already tried and what worries you about surgery.
Then he shows you your scan, explains the options and lets you weigh in. Treatment is planned with you, not handed to you.
Most of a consultation is for listening. The plan comes after, and you help shape it.
Giving back
Project Global Smile
Dr. Abtin founded Project Global Smile to help children born with cleft lip and cleft palate in underserved regions of the world.
A cleft can affect how a child eats, speaks and smiles. Surgical repair can change that, and Project Global Smile works to bring that care to children who would not otherwise have access to it.
