Our doctors usethe latest and most advanced State-of-the-Art Technology to bring you the best dental treatment available. You can read about some of the equipment we use to care for your teeth and gums below.
Our doctors also use the State-of-the-Art Kavo diode laser for pocket disinfection. This laser effectively kills harmful bacteria that can cause gum disease, and can also be used to treat inflamed or bleeding gums.
Our doctors will often use State-of-the-Art Emdogain growth proteins when treating tissue loss due to gum disease. This advanced regeneration formula promotes both soft tissue and hard tissue regrowth, and has been scientifically proven to help rejuvenate difficult or problematic areas affected by periodontal disease.
Intraoral cameras are small handheld digital cameras that project an enlarged image of the inside of your mouth onto a computer screen. We use intraoral photography as an exam, treatment planning, and educational tool for our patients.
Digital X-rays are high-speed X-rays that use 80% less radiation than film X-rays. They allow our doctors to examine fine details such as early forming cavities. Digital X-rays can be displayed on a monitor so that we can show our patients any problem areas and discuss treatment options.
We use State-of-the-Art digital photography and special software to visualize your cosmetic makeover before beginning any treatment. You and your doctor can use this tool to manipulate the final image, ensuring that your new smile is just what you had in mind.
Ultrasonic scalers use high-frequency vibrations in combination with a water flow to gently and effectively remove deep stains, plaque and tartar. The tiny tip allows for comfortable access to the roots when deeper cleaning is needed. Overall, ultrasonic scalers make cleanings faster and more efficient.
After a deep cleaning, our doctors will often apply Arestin antibiotic therapy to your gum pockets. Arestin is a time-released topical antibiotic that targets gum disease-causing bacteria. This treatment can greatly reduce the chances of gum disease returning or worsening in the future.
Zoom! WhiteSpeed is a scientifically advanced laser teeth-whitening procedure that is applied in our office. Its the perfect affordable, convenient solution for people seeking immediate results. Now with the most advanced Light Emitting Diode (LED) whitening technology, the results are even better than ever.
This ultrasonic generator can be set to use a wavelength that bypasses soft-tissues, such as membranes and blood vessels, and only cuts the hard-tissues of the tooth. Our doctors use the Piezotome for procedures such as bone grafting and sinus lifts, extractions and occasionally during implant procedures. The Piezotome creates very thin, precise incisions that make healing faster, and with little to no postoperative pain.
Radiosurgery uses a tiny wavelength to create delicate incisions without expanding heat to outlying areas. The fine radio wavelengths are more accurate than most lasers and promote fast healing rates. Our doctors use this tool during surgery and to precisely sculpt the gum tissue for many procedures, such as crown lengthening.
If many of your teeth are missing, decayed, or otherwise damaged and chewing is painful or difficult, then full-mouth reconstruction is the answer. Full-mouth reconstruction uses a wide array of dental procedures torestore your entire mouth back to full health and beauty so that it is fully functioning again and you will be happy to show you smile.
This makeover not only creates a healthy, fully functioning smile, it enhances your overall facial appearance. A bright, straight and healthy smile is rejuvenating in itself. When your bite is aligned, and you have a full set of teeththat support your lower face, a full-mouth rehabilitation can also act as a facelift.
Dr. Vahik Paul Meserkhani is a highly skilled and experienced prosthodontista dental specialistin the replacement of missing teeth and the restoration of natural teeth. He lectures internationally on prosthodontics and oral implantology and is a recognized expert in his field.
Dr. Meserkhani has been awarded the status of Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology, the most important and difficult certification available in oral implantology. This certification has been awarded to only 400 dentists in the United States since 1969.
Dr. Meserkhani has created anexperienced team of highly trained specialists who canprovidealmost any treatment you could need as part of your full-mouth reconstruction under one roof.After a thorough examination, Dr. Meserkhani will lay out a detailed treatment plan for you that will restore your mouth to full health. He will guide you through your treatment every step of the way, and he will coordinate you treatment so that you are receiving the best care possible.
Dr. Artin Meserkhan is our resident orthodontist who loves seeing how happy patients are after having their teeth straightened. He is a firm believer in communication and customer service, and uses traditional braces as well as clear Invisalign when providing treatment.
As both a prosthodontist and an oral implantologist, Dr. Meserkhani will employ his unique skills to create harmony in function and aestheticsin yourmouth. His training allows him to see and treat your mouth as a whole, rather than focusing on a single discipline.
Many factors come into play when rehabilitating a mouth to full health, function and beauty. Dr. Meserkhani looks at the overall picture and takes this into account by evaluating each of the following:
Dr. Meserkhani uses our first-class, in-house dental lab to ensure thatall your restorations meet his high standards. He works closely with our skilled lab technicians to achieve the exact color, shape and customization of crowns, bridges, dentures and veneers suited to each individual.
Dr. Meserkhani is easy to talk to and gives great patient care. He is straightforward about the status of your teeth and possible treatment. He is very thorough and doesnt skip any steps. He explains the treatment plan clearly and is very knowledgeable. He makes sure that the patient is happy./span>
All complications come from the fact that the surgeon who places the implant is generally separate from the dentist who places the restoration, says Dr. Meserkhani. The implants are placed without the final plan fully in mind, and the dentist who restores just has to go along with what has been done.
Because of the complications that can arise from separate specialists providing portions of a treatment, Dr. Meserkhani and his team work closely together under the same roof to ensure the success of your full-mouth rehabilitation.
Dental Implants, Implant-Supported Bridges and Implant-Supported Dentures. Implant posts are inserted into the jawbone and attached to crowns, dental bridges or dentures to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are the best solution for a single missing tooth.
Gum Recession Treatment. Overly exposed tooth roots not only flaw the aesthetics of your smile, they are often very sensitive to hot and cold temperatures. This condition can now be corrected with our minimally invasive gum grafting procedures.

I was referred to Dr. Meserkhani office through my aunt. By the time I walked in the office I felt like a member of his family. The kindness of his staff maid the pains to go away. They did a whole mouth construction. He gave me my smile back. Thank you from the bottom of my hearth.

I remember when I was a kid I fell and broke my two front teeth in half. Luckily, I grabbed them for some reason and put them in my pocket. My mother contacted Dr Vahik Meserkhani and he kindly asked us to see him on the same day. From what I remember as a child, he took my broken in half teeth and told me: "It was very smart of you that you picked up your teeth from the floor and brought them with you". My natural teeth were back in my mouth for almost 20 years now. Recently, my one tooth broke again and of course I ran to the most experienced, qualified and skillful Dr Vahik Meserkhani. He made me naturally smile again. This dentist has Diamond fingers and a Golden heart. He is very professional, kind, gracious, skillful and a super knowledgeable dentist, with very courteous and attentive staff team members. Words can't describe the difference that he made in my life. Dr Vahik Meserkhani is one of a kind!

I trusted all of the reviews and hoped that I had finally found a competent dentist here, but I was wrong. I had pain coming from my gums. I was ready for an implant, thinking this would be the solution. The main dentist suggested a temporary tooth be placed to see if the pain would stop. He helped clean the tooth as it was infected. The temporary tooth that was made from the multiple molds is too small and now has a significant gap where food gets caught. The color of the temporary which the assistant chose is way too white for my front tooth. I decided not to go back for the actual crowns as they might turn out just as bad. Now I have to find someone who can fix them. Instead of just focusing on the teeth I needed help with, which the pain still persists, he added unnecessary work. He didn't ask and I didn't stop him as I thought he knew best when he started working on my two front teeth filings. He did this on the same day as the temporary teeth. I was in the office for almost five hours waiting for him as he went back and forth with patients. Now I am left with badly placed fillings that are not flush as he said they would be. There's a line that goes across the back of one tooth. I asked the assistant about it during the follow up but the dentist never addressed it. When I told him that the pain still continued, he said I should come back in a month with no solution. He had made his money and was over it. The fillings do not feel as they will last long as they did before he "fixed" them. He took too much of my actual teeth off and now my front two teeth have a transparent triangle forming between them. They are no longer fully white as they were before I came here. I am very frustrated and left with almost 3,000 in costs for this horrible work. Not sure if these other reviews are real or maybe they are not referring to the head dentist as there are multiple in the office. I do not recommend this office as they have only created more problems for me and ruined my front teeth. They are only looking to make money as fast as possible.

My name is Ray Miller. I am a recent (1 year) patient of Vahik Meserkhani DDS and have come to be thoroughly impressed with his dental skills and those of his staff. My experience started almost 12 months ago when a Crown done by another dentist came off. It was determined I needed an implant. After consulting with Dr. Vahik Meserkhani and learning about his career, vast surgical experience and treatment options I elected to have him and his staff perform the procedure. The extraction process was very involved and required a bone graft before the surgical placement of the implant could be installed. Throughout the months, Dr. Vahik Meserkhani and his excellent staff had me come back several times to check on my healing process. They incorporate the latest dental technology in their practice including full face ex-rays. It was uncovered during a routine inspection of my bone graft I had an infection in 2 Crowns that needed immediate action. Dr. Vahik Meserkhani and his staff quickly scheduled an appointment and proceeded to complete the work. They even installed ceramic teeth as 'temporaries' versus the 'std' Crown temporary I've experienced on other occasions. Overall, my entire experience during they 11 months from start to finish on the implant and 2 Crowns was amazing!!!! Vahik Meserkhani, DDS and his staff are wonderful to deal with and always treated me as #1 anytime in the chair or just at the counter in the office. Please share my thoughts with other potential clients. They will not be disappointed in the care they received and terrific results they will experience..

I've been seeing Dr. Miller for years. He's personable and professional. I trust nobody else with my teeth, except his hygienist Kathy. She's like a massage specialist for my gums. They're great even if dentists scare you.

Dr. Meserkhani, Dr. Aboolian, and Dr. Sally did such an amazing job with my dental work, as well as their supporting staff. It was definitely a big job and it took months to finish and today I'm able to have the smile I've always wanted. Dr. Meserkhani has been my dentist for years and it's for this reason I've stayed with his office for so long, they take care of their patients and do the best work. Today was my last day in the office because my dental work is finally done and I couldn't be happier!!! Thank you to all the doctors and their staff for everything! I highly recommend anyone to consider going to this dental office for any of your dental needs.

Since I was a child I was not happy with my teeth. They weren't beautiful &the color was yellow, I felt ashamed to smile. As I grew up it got worst and worst. Recently, my teeth broke and crumbled into small pieces. The color got worst, I was scared to go to Public places. For a long time I couldn't decide what to do. I found Dr Meserkhani on TV and I finally decided to take care of my smile. From the first session I visited the doctor. He gave me confidence that we will fix it and not to worry about it. After the first day I had my temporary crows and I was so happy with them. Now the final result I'd never imagine I could have such nice teeth, now I smile in pictures. I never smiled even in my wedding picture!! I'm so happy I now have the confidence to smile.

Three days ago I had implant surgery, and Dr Meserkhani did 4 implants at the same time. I like Dr Meserkhani he has a very positive energy. After each implant he told me its perfect. He was done after 2 hours. He explained to me each step of the way. Now after just 3 days I have a temporary, and it works perfect. I'm leaving his office with my big smile. Thank you to Dr Meserkhani and his team!!

I want to share my story because I am finished with my amazing experience with Dr. Meserkhani. First, I want to tell you how i ended up here. I came to Dr. Meserkhani with a bad gum infection from 3 implants I got from another dentist. I was lost and afraid I will never have a nice smile again, worse, loose my other teeth and have to get dentures. Today, I am officially SMILING. After 11 months working with this beautiful group of professional doctors, super friendly staff, and many people that helped me along the way. I have for the first time in many years the beautiful smile I always wanted. I have new implants, my gums are healthier then ever. I am so happy and I wanted to share my little story. Thank you Dr. Meserkhani & other doctors and his amazing team. This has been a long journey and I can't believe the final result. It was worth everything. I love you guys, God bless you all.
