Services
Dental Implants
We offer durable dental implants to replace missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. Our process involves collaboration with specialists to create customized solutions for single or multiple missing teeth. Implants provide long-term benefits by preserving jawbone structure and supporting adjacent teeth.
Teeth Whitening
Our in-office Power Bleaching system brightens teeth in under 90 minutes, while take-home kits deliver results in two weeks. Combination programs ensure optimal, long-lasting whitening effects. These treatments effectively address stains caused by food, drinks, or aging.
Cosmetic Dentistry
We specialize in veneers, crowns, and bonding to improve smiles. Porcelain crowns and veneers correct discoloration, chips, or misalignment. These treatments enhance aesthetics while maintaining natural tooth function and durability.
Root Canals
We perform root canals on front and premolar teeth to relieve pain caused by infected pulp. This procedure saves natural teeth, preventing extraction while restoring oral health and function.
Periodontal Treatment
Our services include cleanings, scaling, and root planing to treat gum disease. Regular maintenance prevents progression of periodontal issues, ensuring healthy gums and supporting structures for long-term oral health.

Dr. Farzam is an excellent dentist and a wonderfully compassionate person. I would recommend him to anyone that's looking for a great dentist! The dental hygienist that did my cleaning today was very thorough and professional.

I showed up for a routine cleaning with my 4mo baby praying he'd calmly "hang out" in his stroller until we were done. Thankfully he did, but an even bigger thanks to the office staff and technicians for accommodating us and entertaining the baby during our visit! They were understanding, super helpful, and put me at ease making this first-time experience more pleasant than I imagined it would be.

Always a good experience. What I like best about coming here is that everyone is friendly and even if you dont have perfect teeth, they dont drill how you did everything bad to get a cavity it into you (I know. bad pun). but seriously they are a good place to go

I've been with Dr Farzam for years. Great dentist and his staff are friendly and work efficiently. The place was clean, smelled like they'd just cleaned it and they were very careful with anything touched and reminding me to wear my mask - I felt we were all being safe and taking precautions for each other.

Thank you for the wonderful care I receive at your practice. I always leave feeling taken care of, healthy, and safe. Thank you to all the staff who takes really good care of me and my family and make us feel like we are VIPs. Considering how invasive and anxiety provoking it can be to sit in the dentist chair it always feels safe to be vulnerable in your hands. Thank you! Jeannie
