Finding a doctor that would change my smile was difficult. But Dr. Farnoosh understood. I was referred to him by my friend out there. So I when I was there visiting her from Miami, I made an appointment to stop and see the Doctor. He made me feel comfortable and the staff there were great. They made me feel welcome and gave me a smile all my friends talk about. Go to Dr. Farnoosh for all your dental needs, I will.

This is Los Angeles and the way you look is very important, I don’t care what you say it is very important. One of the things that people judge is your teeth. So sometimes you just need to see a cosmetic dentist. Dr. Farnoosh is very experienced and his office is very convenient to get to. If you are concerned about your teeth as I once was give his office a call.

I recently had the gum bleaching procedure at Dr. Farnoosh’s office. He and the staff were extremely helpful and showed patience with me. The office is nice and clean it was the most comfortable I have ever felt at a dentist office. I would recommend his office to friends and family.

Dr. Farnoosh does incredible work. It’s horrible to be embarrassed by a gummy smile or unattractive gums. You need to look no further than here. As a person who used to loathe the dentist, let me tell you that with Dr. Farnoosh, you will start looking forward to going to the dentist. He and his staff are helpful and friendly and meet you at your needs, they do not try to upsell or swindle you into something you don’t need. I guarantee you will have even more of a reason to show off your smile after you visit him!

I heard about Dr. Farnoosh’s gum procedure on The Doctors television show. A year later when I moved to Los Angeles from Orlando I realize that his office was only 20 minutes from where I lived and I had to go to see him. I have had hereditary black gums for my entire life and it wasn’t until I saw the episode on the show that I realize that there was even anything that I could do about it. The procedure is very simple but extremely effective. I was in his office for two hours and that included photos evaluation and Conversation. I came in with the problem that I had been living with for 31 years and left out with a brand-new smile that I couldn’t be more happy with! Dr. Farnoosh not only changed my smile he was the most kind and caring doctor that I have ever experienced. He even called me from his personal cell phone to make sure that I was healing properly and comfortably. Dr. Farnoosh truly cares about his patients and will go above and beyond to make sure that they are happy, satisfied and healthy. Recommend this procedure to anyone who has any type of gum discoloration if they know longer desire to live with. It has literally made me happy to see my smiling in the mirror every day.

Dr. Farnoosh did an exceptional job on my lip lowering surgery!! The result is amazing it changed my life. I used to feel really self-conscious whenever I wanted to laugh in public. After the surgery I can laugh whenever and wherever I want. All my friends tell me my teeth look great and I don’t show excess gum anymore!! I am really happy I have done my research and found Dr. Farnoosh!!! See my before& after photos below!

Vivian Z. / San Gabriel, CA

I want to start out by thanking Dr. Farnoosh. I am writing this review to share my testimony with others. For years I have been self-conscious about my gums, they were dark, bruised looking, and I was truly uncomfortable with their appearance. I had expressed my concern with my general Dentist, with whom I’ve been a patient for 24 years, I asked if there were any options, or any procedures to remedy this. My dentist explained to me that there were none, and that there were different reasons for this: , whether it was trauma from having braces, smoking, and etc… I was discouraged to say the least, it left me hopeless. Desperate, in search of anythingI googled: “dark gums.” I found Dr. Farnoosh through an internet search. I did my homework and through careful research found that Dr. Farnoosh was not only a periodontist: but he developed, and perfected, innovative methods to restore discolored gums. My procedure was Jan, 2015 it took an hour and a half. Dr. Farnoosh was extremely efficient, explained all details, and takes tremendous pride in his work. Following the procedure, he called me that evening to check on me and see how I was feeling, if I had any bleeding, or pain. His concern was clearly genuine. I experienced no pain or bleeding, and recovery was smooth, no downtime at all. The results are astonishing. I cannot express my gratitude enough, so grateful, the results speak volumes. Dr. Farnoosh is the very best and highly skilled periodontist around. His background, training and education are Sterling. I really appreciate his professionalism and expertise and warmth. I highly recommend him, I can’t say enough great things about him. I also want to add that the staff was knowledgeable, accommodating and professional. I was definitely in good hands.

Gummy smile I had excessive gum display or gummy smile and Dr Farnoosh treated with lip lowering surgery and crown lengthening. It was overall a great experience. During my consult, Dr. Farnoosh examined my gums to see if I was a candidate for the gummy smile procedure. He explained everything to the very last detail about the procedure and what to expect after. He answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable. The office has flexible payment options with care credit. The Day of surgery, I was given a relaxer because I always feel nervous and scared at dentists. He numbed my gums and in less than 2 hours I was done. I had dressings on that I needed to keep in for a week for healing process. I was on a soft solid diet for about 2 weeks and I had to take Antibiotics, pain meds and use ice packs. The swelling lasted 5 days and the pain about 1 week. I returned to work a week after surgery. When the dressing was removed, I had a beautiful new smile with no excessive gum display. I was beyond happy and felt confident about smiling and talking to people. It was worth every penny I paid. Def recommend to anyone who has a gummy smile. Don’t over think it just do it because it will change your life. I guarantee you!!!

I don’t usually write reviews but Dr. Farnoosh made a very positive impact in my life that I have to share with others. I had too much of my gums showing when I would smile and it really bothered me for many years. My friends would constantly comment about it. I could never laugh or smile freely. I would hold my hand in front of my mouth to hide it because I was so embarrassed to smile big. Luckily, I found Dr. Farnoosh online. He fixed my gummy smile and did an amazing job. Now I smile with great confidence and it made a big difference in my social life. I had swelling for 2-3 days with no pain whatsoever. The staff were also great. He has golden hands and is very compassionate. If only I can give him more that 5 stars! Thanks so much Dr. Farnoosh!

Lorenzo B. / Los Angeles, CA

I went in for the gum treatment. I had brown pigmented gums I wanted them pink. I made an appointment, came in, and had the procedure. The procedure took a couple of hours and was rather painless. All went well. After a few days I was able to remove the dressing on my gums and see the beautiful new look I had. Money well spent.

Kris W. / La Cañada Flintridge, CA

A photographer in high school told me to smile less, and from then on even though I love my smile, the extent to which my gums showed bothered me. Dr. Farnoosh and his team are wonderful. I am so pleased with the results and professionalism of the team. Whenever I had a question during recovery I received a fast response. For me, this was a perfect solution to achieve what I wanted and much less invasive than jaw surgery. The first three weeks of recovery were tough for me, I had never had surgery before and it was harder to work during this period than expected- I was very swollen, numb, couldn’t do business dinners for a few weeks, had random stitches dangling down…all short term and worth it for the fabulous results. Dr. Farnoosh is an artist and I highly recommend him.

I never noticed I had a gummy smile until I was in 8th grade when some kid pointed it out and ever since then I had always been self conscious. I’m currently 19 years old. After that incident, I did a lot of research to look for doctors that could possibly help me with this problem. I came across Dr. Farnoosh and was really impressed with the procedure. Other doctors wanted to cut my jaw and lift it up, which was a 6 month recovery with my mouth wired shut. I live in San Diego, so it’s a pretty far drive. I finally convinced my parents to go up there for the consultation. We stayed the night at a hotel the day before the appointment. The morning of my appointment I arrived to the office and everyone was very nice as soon as I walked in! They took me back, evaluated my smile, and told me exactly what was going on. I had a very hyperactive/hypermobile lip. Dr. Farnoosh only guaranteed that 50% of my lip would be lowered with the procedure. Which kind of bummed me out because I wanted my gums to not show AT ALL.(the results were not what I expected!! they were even better than what Dr. Farnoosh guaranteed) He was very kind and understanding. Anyone that has a gummy smile knows that it can affect their self esteem, so he was really careful on what he said and I thank him for that. It was a very sensitive subject for me. I was so tired of always covering my smile with my hand or having to train myself how to smile without showing a lot of gum. He even gave me the option of having the procedure done the same day of my appointment because of how far I lived. My parents and I went to breakfast to think about it. They knew I’ve been struggling with this for a while and how bad it affected me. After a while of thinking about it, we called the office back and went through with the procedure. I was really nervous for the procedure (lip lowering and crown lengthening) but Dr. Farnoosh made it much easier. The procedure was painless… Until after a few hours of course, but nothing that Tylenol can’t fix. The pain was NOT bad at all after the procedure. Everyone’s different, of course! I ended up swelling up like a chipmunk. After a few weeks of recovering I can honestly say I am so happy with the results. My case was very severe, but Dr. Farnoosh is the reason why I am able to smile today without constantly covering my smile with my hand. I would definitely recommend Dr. Farnoosh for anyone suffering with a gummy smile.

I was recommended to Dr. Farnoosh by a friend and I’m so glad she told me about him. I was nervous and stressed out about finding a trusted professional and Dr. Farnoosh was great. I was nervous at my first appointment and he was very patient and calmed me down explaining in detail all procedures. He is a great cosmetic dentist. I’ve been concern of my smile for years and now I can totally laugh with confidence!! Also they provided me different financing options to make this happen!

I would like to thank Dr. Farnoosh and his team for all of the wonderful work they did for me. I have never been happier. I have been dealing with gum over exposure all my life and just recently found out that it could be corrected. I made an appointment with Dr.Farnoosh’s office then went over they would correct the issue and informed me what type of insurance coverage I needed. The experience was informative and easy. Recovery time was fairly fast. I didn’t miss too much time from work. They were available for any questions that I had and I appreciate them for that. I highly recommend Dr. Farnoosh, I have never been happier with my smile. =)

I want to thank Dr. Farnoosh for giving me the confidence to smile again. i did my due diligence when it came to finding the right cosmetic dentist. I visited numerous locations before i reached my final decision. i knew it when i met Dr. Farnoosh that i was in the right hands. He went over the procedure in details, the recovery time, and the financial breakdown for the procedure. the end result is that i feel and look amazing. nothing beats this feeling. thank you dr. farnoosh and team for all of your work!! you come highly recommended :). i will refer you to all my friends and loved ones. Appreciate all you have done for me!

Jocelyn P. / Los Angeles, CA

It took me THREE years to finally get enough courage to get this procedure done. After years of research, I knew I had to go to the inventor of the “Gum Bleaching” technique, after seeing and reading horror stories about Dentist who have claimed they were trained in this procedure and wasn’t! I knew this was right way to go for my mouth and peace of mind. This was by far one of the best dental experiences that I’ve ever had! I had naturally dark gum and small teeth, braces in high school, so my smile had been nice for some time, but my gums always made my smile not be best I know it could be. Fast forward to my seeing Dr. Farnoosh! He is very knowledgeable in the area of Dentistry and his staff was very professional, personable and accommodating, they made me feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the entire process. My smile is now AMAZING!!! Serveral people have inquired about my teeth and are noticing that they can have “The Total Smile “! Thank you Dr. Farnoosh!!
