We really listen to you
Dr. Pakiz and all our staff take the time to listen to you, answer questions and explain procedures.
Dr. Pakiz always takes the time to listen to patients and address any questions or concerns they may have. He relates well to patients and they find him easy to talk to.
He understands that dental procedures and terminology can be confusing, and this can make patients more anxious about receiving treatment. He will walk you through your procedures ahead of time, using terms that you can understand. It is important to him that you know what to expect, so that you can feel more comfortable about your treatment.
Beautiful, natural-looking Smile Makeovers
Dr. Pakiz will work closely with you while creating your custom veneers.
Dr. Pakiz is a cosmetic dentist with many years of experience and additional training in aesthetic dentistry. He has a good artistic eye and plans his smile makeovers to look aesthetic and natural. He tries to be as conservative as possible, maintaining as much of your natural tooth structure as possible while achieving the results you are looking for.
To further ensure long-term success of your smile makeover, Dr. Pakiz makes sure that your bite is well-aligned before any treatment begins. This not only enhances the appearance of your smile, it also improves function and avoids future wearing away of your teeth and any restorations you may have placed as part of your cosmetic treatment.
High-Tech Dentistry
Dr. Pakiz uses the iTero digital scanner for precise impressions and imaging.
We use state-of-the-art technology in order to increase patient comfort, reduce time in the chair, and to generally be able to provide more accurate and successful dentistry.
Our iTero digital scanner captures the contours of the teeth and gums in just a few minutes, providing detailed 3D impressions that are both more accurate and more comfortable than traditional goopy tray impressions. Dr. Pakiz uses the 3D images to plan Invisalign treatment and to design crowns, bridges and veneers.
Low-radiation digital X-rays give us a detailed view of the structures of your mouth, while our intraoral cameras provide full-color images of the inside of your mouth. In recent years, laser dentistry has made innovations in gentle, non-surgical treatments; we use a gentle dental laser to provide comfortable, effective treatment for even severe stage of gum disease.
