I met Dr. Athari in 2011 because of a sensitive side tooth decay I had. Ever since then I have referred my mother and father and sister to him as well as some of my friends. I needed extensive fillings because of large decayed teeth. He fixed them all over a short period of several visits and I see him regularly to prevent any more headaches for myself. What I love about him is the fact that he takes so many pictures from whatever it is that he is doing in my mouth and shows them to me afterwards. He explains all of it in detail and a few years later another tooth had been bothering me so we both could go back in time and look at the tooth that he had worked on before we initiated a new fix. He even says it is hard to remember every case and writing detailed notes is not a comparison for actual pictures of each stage. each picture speaks a long story by it self. As a result of the dental education I received I have become a better more informed patient and have learned that caring for my teeth is a "lifestyle" as he says it. My treatment was easy compared to my mothers case which was far easier than my father's case. My mom had old crowns from decades ago that had failed and created a major cosmetic nightmare for her. She would always cover her smile and her pictures her hand was always covering her smile and laughter. She was so conscious about this that all of us knew this. She would not even hide the fact and she always mentioned how embarrassed her teeth and gaps and smile were. On top of that she was very anxious about the dentist and was deathly fearful because of her past experiences. An emergency swelling and situation brought her in. He had to work very hard reprogramming her fear and anxiety before she allowed him to even get close to numb her up. Long story short many visits and many years later finally my mother was comfortable enough to allow him to do a full mouth reconstruction for her and cosmetically fix her crowns and veneers. She goes out of her way in pictures with her smiles. She cried of happiness when the crowns were delivered and she could see herself in the mirror without the major gaps and the wide teeth. She too is very careful about her teeth now and not a day goes by that I don't see her beautiful smile. My father has also experienced major dentistry from Dr. Athari. He had to first remove all of his top teeth and most of the bottom teeth. Had dentures for a while. This year Dr. Athari placed 5 implants for him on top jaw. I was there and he had a videographer video the whole thing and take pictures as well. All I know was that he said it was a very hard case due to lack of bone. I saw parts of the surgery too. And it is beyond me how this happened but my dad had absolutely no swelling or pain. Took some days off from work but the next day called in and told them he wanted to come to work. the implants have been solid ever since and he is awaiting the next phase. all in all I am happy we met Dr. Athari. He calls after every appointment to see how we are doing. I think to write about any practice or doctor it is better to be able to show a time frame experience as opposed to write what it was like the first appointment, but thats just me. i recommend him for anyone who needs a real dentist and someone who will be by their side as he only does one patient at a time.
