Dr. Hashemian continued his education to complete his training in general surgery internship and Oral & Maxillofacial surgery residency at the University of Florida, Shands Hospital, in Gainesville.

Dr. Hashemian entered into private practice in the year 2000. Since then he has attended numerous educational meetings and courses across the country to stay on the cutting edge of the information and topics in his field.

Dr. Hashemian has a special interest in dental implants. He has studied and completed multiple courses with Nobel Biocare / Branemark, as well as with the Zimmer-Biomet 3i implant system. He was one of the world’s few surgeons in Florida who started the guided surgery for placement of dental implants. With this CT-guided planning and computer-assisted technique, the placement of implants has become more accurate and predictable. Dr. Hashemian has been also trained to provide the “Teeth-In-A-Day” technique for qualified patients. In addition, Dr. Hashemian is one of the few surgeons who is trained for placement of zygomaticus implants for patients who do not have sufficient bone in the jaw and do not wish to receive bone grafting.
