He participated in the Craniomaxillofacial, cleft lip, and palate team. Dr. Ibañez learned Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) surgery, facial pain management, as well as microsurgical nerve repair. During his facial trauma rotation at Memorial Mission Hospital in Asheville, NC, Dr. Ibañez further expanded his knowledge of Facial traumatic injuries. An elective rotation spent at the Department of Prosthodontics allowed Dr. Ibañez to obtain further insight in the area of dental implant surgery and oral rehabilitation. Dr. Ibañez feels both blessed and honored that each of his professors is a world-renowned authority and author in his specific subspecialty, and they selflessly shared their knowledge with him.
