Our smile is what we show to the world. When our smile is healthy and attractive, our sense of wellbeing benefits. An improved self-image encourages better dental hygiene and ultimately, an improvement in overall health.
Dr Panahpour has been a part of one of the top image consulting firms in Northern California since 1993. This has provided him the opportunity to develop a high level of skill and talent in cosmetic dentistry.
Today cosmetic dentistry can contour, brighten, shade, fill-in, align, and even replace teeth with remarkable new materials and techniques. Through Dr Panahpour’s extensive training and experience, he is able to create a perfect smile that harmonizes with your whole being.Touch-ups:
Jagged tooth edges can be recontoured and polished in one office visit
Asymmetrical gum lines can be corrected in a single office visit with minimal local anesthetic. Occasionally the symmetrical appearance of the gums can account for as much as 50 percent of the total cosmetic value of the front teeth.
Yellow or brown stains can be reduced by a simple “whitening” process involving a patented state of the art gel and plasma light known as “Bright Smile.”
Dark and super-white spots can be addressed by identifying and treating the underlying health issue.
Restorative rehabilitation addresses the cosmetic, function, and health of the patients dental and body system. Dr Panahpour draws on his knowledge of Chirodontics, cosmetic dentistry, dental-body connection, and biocompatible materials to provide the highest quality service.
Composite Fillings are required when 25 percent or less of the tooth is damaged.
Onlays and Inlays are required when 25-50 percent of the tooth is damaged.
Crowns and Bridges are required when 50 percent or more of the tooth is damaged.
Veneers and Bonding is a shell type restoration that masks an existing tooth and is a popular cosmetic addition to the teeth.
While Chirodontics is applicable to many different healthcare situations or concerns, it is
especially useful in the treatment of chronic complaints, and invaluable in treating
conditions like TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction, headaches and cranio-facial
pain syndromes, and may even help with lymphatic drainage or endocrine imbalances.
Chirodontics is essential for correction of bite misalignment to protect against the
premature teeth breakdown (tooth fractures or wearing away) and preserving the normal
function of your jaw joint (TMJ).

Removal of amalgam and gold fillings from your mouth can be cosmetic as well as beneficial to your health.
Removal of these metals can reduce the electrical currents that are created by the contact of different metals in fillings and crowns. Although controversial, these currents are potentially harmful because they block the meridians and bioelectrical fields of your body.
In order to ensure that your health is not compromised, an integrated approach, which includes nutrition, special air filters, oxygen masks, rubber dams and other protective measures, are used for the removal of metals. Dr Panahpour will tailor a program that is specific to your needs.
When the teeth are compromised by the hostile external environment they can decay and become impacted or abscessed. These can lead to pockets of infection in the teeth and jaw.
These infections, toxins, and imbalances in the oral cavity and the jaw can contribute to chronic illness and pain in the head, neck, and other regions of the body.

Oral-Chronic Fatigue (www.ada.org/prof/resources/topics/chronicfatigue/index.asp)Dr Panahpour has a wide range of treatment options for dental foci.
Dr Marc Pana is a board certified Orthodontist that has extensive training and experience in traditional and alternative approaches to orthodontics.
As a biological dentist, Dr Panahpour believes preventative dentistry is the best form of dentistry. The ADA recommends the following for good oral hygiene:
-Brush your teeth twice daily
-Clean between teeth daily with floss or an interdental cleaner. Decay-causing bacteria still linger between teeth where toothbrush bristles can’t reach. Flossing removes plaque and food particles from between the teeth and under the gum line.
-Eat a balanced diet and limit between-meal snacks (www.ada.org/prof/resources/topics/diet.asp)
-Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleaning and oral examDr Panahpour offers general cleaning, referred to as periomaintenance, as well as a scaling and deep cleaning.
Dental Herb Company (www.dentalherbcompany.com) offers professional grade products that Dr Panahpour recommends to his patients for home use.
According to a poll taken by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), when asked, “What satisfies you least about your smile?” The number one answer people gave was tooth color.
Bright smile gives your teeth a brighter appearance, allowing you to smile with confidence.
Bright smile has advantages over other teeth whitening procedures. Bright smile uses less hydrogen peroxide by incorporating plasma light, therefore, offsetting any potential damaging affects that high doses of hydrogen peroxide causes.
