Dr Karen Bagdasaryan is the best dentist I have ever had. I went to his clinic to remove my wisdom teeth and he did a great job. He and his staff were very friendly and patient. I highly recommend dr Bagdasaryan.

I've been under Dr Karen's health for about 3 years now. Came to him after a really bad experience with a root canal with a different Dr. Dr Karen makes me feel super comfortable, explains procedures step by step, and is extremely detailed! Thank you Dr Karen!

Best dentist ever! Besides walking into an amazing clean and modern office, the staff is kind, friendly and very helpful. They set up a game plan for me as I had put off going to a dentist for while and was going to need quite a bit of work. Which, I had put off because I was uncomfortable with my previous dentist and the costs were stopping me from going back. I love going to the dentist now. Seriously, who says that? The workmanship is excellent and my smile, now beautiful thanks to them. They actually make the crowns right there in the office so you don't leave with those temporary things. They are the best I have ever been to. Thank you All for all you do. Big Smile!

Seriously, best dentist ever. I have crazy anxiety when it comes to the dentist and let's just I was not OK when I arrived. The staff made me feel so at ease and reassured me that he's the best and he truly is! I got IV sedation for my wisdom teeth extraction and it felt like 5 minutes- I was in and out. Pain is very minimal and I was able to keep them as a keepsake which is awesome. Thanks staff at Viva Smile and Dr. Baghdasaryan!

Dr. Hovsepyan is an honest, trustworthy professional with an expert hand and a warm bedside manner. Unlike other dentists, she never tries to upsell and arms you with all the information you need to make an informed decision on how to best manage your dental care...Highly recommend.

Not even sure where to start in my praise for VIVA SMILE. From the moment I walked into the sparkling clean, beautifully remodeled office to the time I left , a completely satisfied patient , it was a great experience. Everyone I came in contact with was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I have had work done by both Karen and Gohar, the husband and wife dentists who operate the business, and both are amazing. Each takes time to explain the procedures, reasoning behind their proposed treatments and options available. I really feel as if they are concerned about me as a person. The exam rooms are comfortable and relaxing. A major attribute for a dentist's office. The work I have had done there has been state of the art, painless , and the final product exceeds expectations. In conclusion, I can't say enough good things about VIVA SMILE. And all of this is coming from a man who has historically hated going to the dentist. I would without hesitation highly recommend them to everyone!

I used to be one of those who hated dental visits up until I met Dr. Gohar Hovsepyan! Her presence has a calming effect and her work is impeccable! She's patient, fast and makes you feel comfortable, all while doing the best work in the industry. Thank you Dr. Hovsepyan for making all my dental work feel like a breeze.

I have super sensitive teeth and gums and a lot of apprehension about going to the dentist. The first time I went here they used an ultrasonic cleaner on me and having never experienced it I wasn't prepared for how painful it would be. The second time I mentioned that and the hygienist hand scraped my teeth so I didn't experience pain from the cold water. The last two times the hygienist has used the sonic tool again but numbed my gums ahead of time and I don't experience pain. I've been very satisfied with the level of care they've provided me and their willingness to acknowledge the pain and provide various working solutions.
