Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Bijan Afar

Sourced directly from Dr. Bijan Afar's social posts and replies.

What are immediate-load dental implants and what are their benefits?
Immediate-load implants allow patients to transition from failing teeth to a new smile without a period of being toothless. The process involves removing a compromised tooth, placing an immediate dental implant, and immediately loading it with a temporary restoration. This allows patients to maintain a functional and esthetic smile the very same day and throughout the healing process.

What are the limitations of over-the-counter dental products and temporary fixes?
Over-the-counter dental products have limitations in addressing underlying dental problems, and temporary fixes provide only momentary relief. For lasting oral health, expert care that addresses the real problem is essential.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$745

Payments

22

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Bijan Afar received $745 across 22 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 57% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Keystone Dental Inc..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
