SL_PA Dental Implants 625_Layout 1 7 / 17 / 25 2 : 03 PM Page 1 As the practice’s name reflects , Dr . Fava and his team specialize in the surgical placement of dental implants , soft - tissue aesthetic procedures , and the prevention , diagnosis , and treatment of periodontal disease . The practice has grown steadily in recent years by adding clinicians and expanding from one office to three , thereby extending its reach to more general den - tistry practices and patients in Philadelphia and its suburbs . Most recently , PCDIP brought Fort Washington Periodontics P.C . — a successful practice built by Richard H . Cutler , D.M.D . — into the fold , to complement its offices in Ambler and Northeast Philadelphia . Dr . Cutler chose to join hands with Dr . Fava on a tight - knit clinical team that includes Eric F . Schoenebeck , D.M.D . , and Dmitriy Klass , D.D.S . “ Richard wanted to take care of his people and his patients at a certain level , which is why he sought me out , ” Dr . Fava says . “ He could have gone the way of pri - vate equity and sold [ the practice ] to cor - porate interests , but he chose to partner with someone who is a dedicated owner - operator , committed to continuous improvement , and consistently raising the level of care over time . “ By providing access to ongoing pro - fessional development and a vision for excellence , ” he continues , “ we’re building an organization that supports people to grow , acquire advanced skills , and take on more robust leadership roles . ” Dr . Fava credits his family , namely , his entrepreneurially minded parents , as well as his sister , for shaping his leadership style . “ A good leader uses their strengths for the betterment of other people , ” he adds . “ When I can leverage my time and skill to make things better for other people — whether for our staff , our patients , or our referring doctors — I am going to do it . I believe in something bigger than myself , and I get tremendous fulfillment from helping others . It is a personal point of pride . ” This is true for PCDIP’s entire surgical team , as well . All four doctors — Fava , Taking the Lead Schoenebeck , Klass , and Cutler — meet once a month to go over complex cases , ensuring that they stay on the leading Dr .
