Founder Dr. Sepehr Jafarpour Dr. Sep founded Root Cause Dental Group on a single conviction: that lasting relief comes from treating the source of a problem, not just its symptoms. His approach always begins with “why.” It’s a philosophy that continues to shape how our whole team works, taking time to understand each patient’s unique situation, goals, and concerns before building a plan that fits, and empowering patients to take an active part in their treatment planning and long-term care. Before pursuing dentistry, Dr. Sep earned a Master of Science in Biostatistics from the University of Toronto, followed by his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry. During his studies, he received the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology Award and was recognized for his dedication to academic excellence. Outside the clinic,…

Dentist Dr. Lisa Popp Over her 30-year career, Dr. Lisa has been committed to continuous growth, fueling her passion for practicing ROOT CAUSE dentistry.

Led by specialists who ask why. Both Dr. Sep and Dr. Lisa built their practices around a single conviction: that treating symptoms without understanding their source is not really treatment at all. Their collaborative approach centers on clarity, compassion, and helping patients make steady progress.

Their FAQ
Answers from their website.
How do I know if I need TMJ treatment?
You may need TMJ treatment if you have recurring jaw pain, clicking, headaches, clenching, facial tension, or trouble opening and closing your mouth comfortably. If symptoms are affecting sleep, eating, or daily comfort, it is worth having the jaw joints, bite, and surrounding muscles evaluated. Root Cause Dental Group focuses on diagnosing the mechanical source behind TMJ-related symptoms instead of only managing the pain.
Can a dentist help with jaw pain and headaches?
Yes. Jaw pain and headaches are often connected to bite imbalance, clenching, joint strain, or airway-related tension. A dentist with TMJ, sleep, and airway experience can help identify what may actually be causing the problem. Root Cause Dental Group takes a root-cause approach that looks at how the bite, jaw joints, airway, and muscle function work together.
What are the most common symptoms of TMJ disorder?
Common symptoms of TMJ disorder include jaw pain, clicking or popping, limited jaw movement, facial soreness, headaches, ear pressure, neck tension, and teeth grinding or clenching. Many people also notice their symptoms are worse in the morning or after stress. Root Cause Dental Group has extensive experience evaluating these symptoms as part of a broader jaw, bite, and airway assessment.
Is there a dental alternative to CPAP for sleep apnea?
Yes. Some patients may be candidates for a custom oral appliance as a CPAP alternative for sleep apnea. The right option depends on your diagnosis, airway structure, and the severity of your condition. Root Cause Dental Group focuses on airway-centered care and helps determine when a dental sleep appliance may be an appropriate part of treatment.
Who is a good candidate for a CPAP alternative?
Good candidates for a CPAP alternative are often people with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, people who cannot tolerate CPAP, or people looking for another treatment option that better fits their lifestyle. The best way to know is through a proper airway and sleep evaluation. Root Cause Dental Group evaluates airway structure, jaw position, and symptoms together to guide the right recommendation.
What kinds of sleep appliances might be recommended?
Mandibular Advancement Appliance to open the airway and treat Snoring and Sleep Apnea. Deka Laser to tone soft palate for snoring and Sleep apnea.
What is airway orthodontics?
Airway orthodontics is orthodontic treatment planned with breathing, jaw development, and airway health in mind. It looks beyond straight teeth and considers how the jaws, dental arches, tongue posture, and airway work together. Root Cause Dental Group believes orthodontic planning should support both function and healthy breathing, not just appearance.
Can airway orthodontics help adults, or is it only for kids?
Airway orthodontics can help both children and adults. In children, it often focuses on guiding development early. In adults, it is more commonly used to improve function, bite balance, arch form, and the relationship between the jaws and airway. Root Cause Dental Group has a strong focus on airway, growth, and long-term functional stability in both age groups.
