Mentorship and meaningful outcomes
Dr. Faigen credits his uncle, also a dentist, as an important influence. Working with his uncle gave him an early look at the profession and inspired him to keep challenging himself.
One case that has stayed with him was his first orthognathic surgery patient. Seeing the immediate change and the patient’s outcome made the work worthwhile. Learn more about orthognathic (jaw) surgery at North Pittsburgh Oral Surgery. www.incisaledgemagazine.com
Looking ahead
When asked about developments in dentistry, Dr. Faigen pointed to digital dentistry and the ways artificial intelligence is beginning to add to those tools. Outside the office, he enjoys bird hunting and training dogs. www.incisaledgemagazine.com
