History
Dr. Joseph Sarkissian studied microbiology at the University of Alabama. He then attended the dental school of the University of Goettingen in the former West Germany, where he graduated in 1989. Over the next eight years he practiced dentistry on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. During that time he trained in homeopathy, completely abandoned the use of amalgam (mercury) fillings, and expanded his knowledge in the biological aspects of therapy. In 1998, he moved to Los Angeles, received his license to practice in California and established his state of the art dental clinic in Glendale.
Specialties
We take a holistic approach to dentistry by considering you as a whole person and not just a set of teeth. Care of your teeth has to start early because the earlier we can handle a problem the easier it is fixed. Therefore early intervention orthodontics are a very important facet of our practice. And we don't extract healthy teeth if there is crowding - we help a child develop an aesthetic profile with healthy teeth and a well formed jaw that will not be prone to jaw joint problems as we often see in orthodontics done wrong. In teeth restoration we do whatever is possible to save the tooth with the least possible damage and we use only highly bio-compatible materials. Sometimes it is just not possible to save a tooth - for these cases we are specialized in the most natural tooth replacement - metal free implants. Call us for a free consultation for anything from non-extraction orthodontics to tooth replacement. And bring your kids - we know how to make them at ease with their dentist.
