We can restore your smile and teeth to full beauty and function

Whatever brought you here, whether it’s embarrassment, pain, or years of putting it off, you’re not alone, and there’s a path forward.

Here are some of the issues we can help you with:

Yellowed, stained, chipped, gapped or crooked teeth

Teeth that are broken-down, decaying or loose 

Worn-down teeth

Missing teeth 

TMJ disorder, teeth grinding

Pain or difficulty chewing 

We provide in-depth consultations and planning sessions that include a full assessment of your teeth, smile aesthetics, bite function (how the teeth come together) and jaw and oral health. This enables Dr. Pournik to design an accurate, correctly sequenced treatment plan.

Each consultation or planning session lasts about 90 minutes. All fees are credited toward treatment.

Implants Done by Someone Who's Placed Thousands

Dr. Pournik has been placing implants since 2012. She is a Fellow of the International Congress of Implantology and has completed extensive advanced education in implant treatment. She teams with our specialist, Dr. Pooria Fallah Abed, a periodontist. A periodontist is a specialist in implant surgery and in the gum and bone tissue around teeth and implants.

We use the latest technology to ensure your implants are placed accurately for long-term success.

Technology That Gets It Right the First Time

We use the latest technology to provide accurate, efficient and comfortable care. Our technology includes a dental CT scanner for 3D X-rays (above) that captures a 360º view of your mouth’s structures, including the nerves, sinuses, jawbone, and more.

We use a digital impression scanner, a high-tech TMJ analysis system, and a top-of-the-line dental laser for nonsurgical treatment of gum disease and gum recontouring.

Friendly, Comfortable Care

We focus on one patient at a time. You’re not waiting while we jump from room to room or competing for attention. From surgery to smile design, your care is coordinated with the same small team who know your story, your goals and your treatment plan. We take personal responsibility for our outcomes, and we take your concerns seriously. If something needs attention, we make it right, even if it means we open our office on the weekend.
