“Wow! What a Beautiful and Modern Office”
I just brought my niece in for a free orthodontic consultation with Dr. Tamara Shamlian. What an amazing and state of the art dental office! The staff was so friendly and offered us cold bottled water while we checked in. And the office has a very relaxing/calming feel to it. Dr. Shamlian did a thorough exam and diagnosed my niece's teeth and bite and evaluated her facial balance. My niece can't wait to start treatment! Great thing they offer many payment options/plans & they accept insurance!

“she is a good orthidontist”
She gives good diognois and is clear on what you need. I got a different dignosis than from previous orthidontist and this was the best plan.

“This was a great first experience to a orthodontist. I never really enjoyed a dentist office until now.”
Ever since my first dentist appointment I never enjoyed some one working on my teeth till now. I feel comfortable here stress free. Tamara Shamlian gave me very specific instruction what to do with my teeth while i wore invisalign. I would prefer Shamlian out any other Orthodontist.
