Our Core
Values

Next Level
Finish

A great finish represents the best result for the patient ...

While we view it as the perfect alignment of teeth, we believe a greater finish is one that overwhelms the patient with absolute joy. Everyone deserves to have the best smile possible and every clinical action we take should be with a great finish in mind.

Next Level
Hospitality

Each person who walks through our doors is a valued and highly-anticipated guest, not a number ...

As we strive to treat our patients with respect in an environment that feels positive and inclusive, something magical happens - we break down barriers and open up new possibilities not just for our patients, but for ourselves also.

Our Core
Values

Next Level
Communication

Successful relationships are oftentimes defined by the success of their communication ...

Clarity and kindness are characteristics that usher in the desire to listen with the intent to understand, rather than respond. When we do so with our patients and each other, we place the individual first and in turn, foster a successful relationship.

Next Level
Accountability

In any given hour of any given day, difficult situations may arise. In that moment, doing the right thing may seem hard or even impossible ...

However, as we assess the situation, understand it, own it, and act decisively, our actions will speak louder than words ever could and trust will be fortified for the future.

Wendy Padot

Such kind staff and Dr. A is awesome. I waited until my 30's to start my Invisalign journey and the best decision was choosing this place. I feel... like at each appointment my teeth are very carefully examined and my treatment plan evolves as needed to meet my outcome goal. I've always been really apprehensive about any kind of dental work, I've had some bad experiences in the past and can be pretty skeptical or worried about trying new things. It's been about a year into my treatment and the only reason I can say I'm a lot more relaxed now is because I fully trust everyone in this office. Can't wait until my final result is reached. Loving how much progress my teeth have made already. My only regret is not doing it sooner!read more

Just completed treatment and could not be more satisfied. Dr. Akhavan is a gem. His approach to orthodontics is just what I needed--honesty mixed... with a childlike enthusiasm for the art of orthodontics. He delivered everything he promised. Of note also is the staff. All of the ladies, from the front desk to the back of the house, are wonderful at what they do. Thank you, Willa, for helping me start this process and for your kindness and warmth. Thank you, Bri, for being the last staff member that helped complete my smile by putting in my permanent retainers and fitting me for my life long, over night retainers. Thank you to every single staff member that walked a mile with me in this journey. You are all in my heart. A word to seniors wanting to fix teeth they've always hated: JUST DO IT and DO IT WITH Pap and Tap.read more
