Dr. Paul C. Lopezs top priority is to provide outstanding surgical treatment for every patient. As a board-certified oral surgeon and father of four, he understands the apprehension that can accompany oral surgery and strives to provide the same top-rated service and treatment he would provide to his own children.
Dr. Lopez was inspired to pursue the dentistry field while working at a neuro-rehabilitation facility. He fell in love with the complexity of restoring both function and aesthetics to the mouth and face. He decided to pursue oral and maxillofacial surgery because he enjoyed the challenge presented by this broad subspecialty and the transformational results that can be achieved.
Dr. Lopez comes to Michigan Oral Surgeons with a wealth of knowledge and experience gained throughout his training. While studying at Michigan, he was presented with several awards, including the Ida Gray Award, which is given to a member of the dental school community who has contributed to creating a multicultural climate of care, acceptance, and welcome. He also earned the Chalmers J. Lyons Academy Award in Excellence in Oral Surgery.
Dr. Lopez attended the University of Connecticut for his undergraduate degree and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Physiology and Neurobiology. After college, Dr. Lopez chose to continue his education by attending the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, where he earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS). He went on to earn his medical degree from the University of Michigan Medical School.
Dr. Lopez has received specialty training in dentoalveolar reconstruction and corrective jaw surgery and received three consecutive U of M Medical School Bronze Beeper Awards, which are presented to resident physicians who exemplify the high standards of medical student education, leadership, and patient care. He completed his Oral and Maxillofacial residency at the University of Michigan Hospital System.
Dr. Anthony Fasi felt his calling to become an oral surgeon when he saw the life-changing capabilities of the field. He loves helping people in a tangible way and finds patient satisfaction to be the most rewarding part of his job. To Dr. Fasi, it is a pleasure and an honor to serve the Southeast Michigan community.
Dr. Anthony Fasi has lived in Michigan since he was 6 years old. Growing up, Dr. Fasi had dreams of becoming a science teacher and pursued biology in college. It wasnt until he met someone who was pursuing dental school and learned more about it that he realized he was interested in dentistry. He volunteered at an oral surgeons office and discovered his love for the specialty.
Oral surgery appealed to Dr. Fasi because of the unique surgical aspect that allowed him to do immediate reconstructions and other treatments on patients. He was intrigued by the idea that he could earn a degree in a field that allowed him to have an immediate and positive effect on patients lives. He loves working in a practice where he can set his own goals and work every day toward achieving them with multiple patients.
Dr. Fasi completed his undergraduate degree at Michigan State University in 2004, where he majored in Human Biology. After discovering his interest in dentistry during college, Dr. Fasi chose to attend dental school at the University of Michigan. After earning his dental degree, Dr. Fasi decided to stay put and complete his oral and maxillofacial residency at the University of Michigan as well. When he was a fourth-year resident, he met Dr. Lopez, who was then the chief. He spent time volunteering and eventually caught Dr. Lopezs attention.
In his spare time, Dr. Fasi loves to travel. His family is originally from Malta, and he loves returning to Europe to see relatives and explore some of his favorite spots. He also enjoys photography, and he is always looking for new places to capture.
Dr. Christopher Sanker loves making a personal connection with his patients and believes in treating his patients like he would treat his own family. As a highly skilled oral surgeon, he is inspired to solve problems, improve health outcomes, and work toward every personalized treatment goal.
Dr. Christopher Sanker was born in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. After completing college, Dr. Sanker decided to take a year off to explore Ecuador and work in a dental clinic. His mom had advised him to look into dentistry, and he was inspired by both her encouragement and by the advice that was given to him by a friends father, who was a dentist. After realizing he had an interest in the dental field, he chose to go to dental school. It wasnt until he completed a 1-year general practice residency that he realized he was more interested in surgery. He enjoyed spending time with the people in the oral and maxillofacial surgery program and liked that he was able to get a wide scope of training and experience, which always kept things interesting.
Dr. Sanker loves working at Michigan Oral Surgeons because its a fun practice and allows him to help a wide range of people. For Dr. Sanker, oral surgery is like solving a puzzle, and its extremely satisfying when he can find the solution and help a patient in need. Surgery allows him to actively and continuously improve the lives of his patients.
Dr. Sanker attended Kalamazoo College for his undergraduate career, where he graduated in 2003 with a bachelors degree in biology. Following his year off in Ecuador at a dental clinic, Dr. Sanker chose the University of Michigan for dental school. It was here that he met and formed a lasting friendship with Dr. Lopez.
After earning his Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS) from dental school, Dr. Sanker was fortunate enough to enter a program that allowed him to complete an oral and maxillofacial residency and medical school at the same time. When he completed both, he was honored to join our oral and maxillofacial team.
In his spare time, Dr. Sanker loves spending time with his family and friends. Raising his young daughter is a full time work of love, but when he has the chance, he loves to travel. He has been to Ecuador, South America, Korea, and all over Europe. He also loves to cook and finds simple joy in grocery shopping at Costco.

If I have anything else done to my teeth I'm coming back here! My procedure was so smooth. Everything has healed well, and I am sure this is due to the skill of the team.

Dr. Lopez and his team are the best. They could not have made me any more comfortable before and during my surgical procedure. It was pain free and a very quick recovery. It's a bit daunting to have your jaw bone drilled into, but if you have to have it done, he's the guy you want to do it.

Dr. Lopez was kind and attentive, he answered all my questions, and made the whole experience pleasant and easy. During the procedure, while he was working on my gums, he kept asking me if I was ok, explained what he was doing, and made sure I felt safe and secure. The chemistry between Dr. Lopez and the nurse was great; you could tell they have a good team awareness and that they work well together, which added to my sense that I was in good hands. Highly recommend them!

Dr. Paul Lopez and the staff at Michigan Oral Surgeons are phenomenal! It was consistently clear that this team of professionals worked collaboratively toward common goals; one being providing the highest quality service to their patients. They were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, efficient, thorough and accommodating. During my procedure, Dr. Lopez and his colleague checked in with me in regards to my comfort level; and, he kept me informed on how it was proceeding. Dr. Lopez's honed skills lent way to an incredibly quick and efficient extraction! I was amazed when he said my tooth was already out, and he was shortly thereafter finishing up the procedure with cleaning the wound and utilizing sutures. It was actually an experience which proved to be effortless, pain-free and easy for me! They did all of the hard work that day to get my teeth/mouth back on the path to optimal health and well being! I cannot say THANK YOU enough to Dr. Lopez and the staff at Michigan Oral Surgeons! I strongly recommend Dr. Lopez and the staff for your personal dental needs! You will be treated respectfully and kindly; and, your dental needs will be addressed by a team of people who are at the top of their profession!

Super nice staff!! I had all 4 wisdom teeth out, which is nerve wracking, but Dr. Lopez did an amazing job at keeping me comfortable and talking through all the steps. Also, it was an added bonus to have some music I could tap my hand to during the surgery! First thing I said to my mom when I got to the car was "that was fun!" so thank you for doing an amazing job! Healing process was a piece of cake. Definitely recommend this office :))

I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth out two weeks ago with Dr. Lopez and I could not be more satisfied with my care. The surgery was so quick and I didn't bleed very much. Within three days, I no longer needed my pain meds and after five days, my swelling went down completely. The Dexter location was very clean and the staff were all very kind and helpful. They called me multiple times in the week following the surgery to monitor my progress and answer any questions I had. It was very affordable too! I would highly recommend!

Had a tooth pulled. The only pain was the little pokes from the anesthetic needles. Even after the anesthetic wore off, I had no pain. I was in and out pretty quick and everything was explained well. Good job. Thank you.

Can't recommend Michigan Oral Surgeons more. They are professional and trustworthy when it comes to oral surgery needs. I got my wisdom teeth extracted here, and the procedure went very smoothly with no complications. The office was very clear about the procedure, what needed to be done beforehand, provided an accurate cost estimate, and followed up beforehand to see if I had any concerns. A couple weeks post-op they even reached out to see how I was recovering.
