What Our Guests Are Saying...

"I had my wisdom tooth removed and the doctor was amazing. After being nervous about being out under anesthesia he explained all other options to me and helped me make the best decision for myself. This office least has the nicest staff and treat you like a person not just a set of teeth coming through the door."

Alicia T.

I don't normally make reviews, but I feel compelled after having such a great experience. I suffer from dental phobia/anxiety. I mean it is so severe that I have to take valume before my visits. well, I use to... My root canal went so smoothly that I was able to sit through my next appointment on my own. I don't think words can explain how good the Dr. and his staff are at making you comfortable and at ease. This is definitely the place for someone who has had bad experiences in the past.

Leanna R.

I had been with another dental office, but saw Dr. Barsoum's office for a specialty (Endo). My first interaction was with Dr. Barsoum; let me tell you.. this man is very kind, caring, and so professional! I really like how he goes over and beyond for the patient experience. Dr. Edalat is also a class act. He is so gentle with his hands. He performed a root canal on me.. I promise you, I felt nothing, and I even went to work that same night for 12 hours with no pain meds or issues. I also liked how Dr. Barsoum PERSONALLY calls you, the patient, the evening of your visit to see how every thing went, to see if you have any concerns or are in pain. That says a lot! Most doctors don't care what happens to you after you leave their office, but Dr. Barsoum does, and I highly respect him for that. I recommend Dr. Barsoum and Dr. Edalat for all of your dental needs. These doctors are amazing!

Alpha G.

"The staff are wonderful and friendly. Dr. Barsoum is the most caring Dentist I have ever met. I went in for two fillings and a root canal. I was expecting it to be very painful, but to my surprise it was not. Dr. Barsoum took really good care of me when I was there, and he even makes "checkup" call to make sure I'm doing fine. Overall, my experience there was just WONDERFUL!"

Nancy L.

I had to have a root canal re-done that another dentist did incorrectly. Dr. Edalat made sure I was comfortable at all times. He was done before I knew it and didn't feel any pain at all. The entire staff are wonderful.

What is a Periodontist?

A periodontist is a dental specialist focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease (gum disease) and the placement of dental implants. Periodontists are experts in managing oral inflammation, performing complex procedures like scaling and root planing, and conducting surgical treatments to address severe gum issues. They also work closely with patients to maintain oral health and prevent the recurrence of periodontal disease through tailored treatment plans and ongoing care.

What is periodontal disease (gum disease)?

Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It begins with plaque buildup, leading to gingivitis, characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed. If untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, causing gum recession, bone loss, and potentially tooth loss. Regular dental care and good oral hygiene are essential to prevent and manage this disease.
