Warm Welcome
You are greeted by name and made comfortable from the moment you arrive, with no pressure and no waiting around.
Most dental problems start silently — a shadow of decay between teeth, early gum inflammation, a crack too fine to feel. Thorough exams paired with low-radiation digital X-rays and 3D imaging reveal these issues while they're still small and simple to treat. It's the difference between a quick fix today and a bigger procedure later.
A dental exam is a thorough check of your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health, and it is the foundation of a healthy smile. Your dentist looks for cavities, gum disease, wear, and early signs of bigger concerns, often before you feel a thing. Digital X-rays and 3D imaging go where the eye cannot, showing what is happening between your teeth, below the gumline, and inside the bone. Together, a careful exam and modern imaging give you a complete, accurate picture of your oral health.
Tooth Pain — Aching, throbbing, or sharp pain is a signal that something needs attention, and an exam pinpoints the cause before it has a chance to get worse.
Bleeding Gums — Gums that bleed, swell, or feel tender when you brush can be an early sign of gum disease, which is easiest to reverse when it is caught early.
Overdue Visit — If it has been more than six months, or even years, since your last checkup, an exam is a simple, judgment-free way to get back on track.
Ongoing Sensitivity — Lingering sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods often points to worn enamel or a developing cavity worth checking sooner rather than later.
From the moment you arrive to the plan you leave with, here is what your visit looks like.
Schedule a ConsultationYou are greeted by name and made comfortable from the moment you arrive, with no pressure and no waiting around.
Your dentist sits down first to hear your goals, concerns, and any worries, so the visit is built around you.
We capture digital X-rays and intraoral photos and screen your gums, giving us a complete, accurate baseline.
Dr. Saeed Yazdianpour or Dr. Kiana Rezaei reviews your images, checks your teeth and gums, and explains everything in plain language.
Before you go, we walk through your options and costs, then schedule your next visit at a pace that suits you.
Routine exams and imaging catch cavities, gum disease, and other problems early, while they are still small, simpler to treat, and easier on your budget.
Spotting issues at the exam stage means smaller, faster treatment later, helping you avoid the bigger procedures and bills that come from waiting too long.
Your exam gives our dentists a full picture of your mouth, so every recommendation fits your goals, your timeline, and the pace you are comfortable with.
Knowing exactly where your oral health stands takes the guesswork out of every visit and lets you smile, eat, and speak without a second thought.
The office staff, receptionist, tech, and Michelle were very personable and helpful. The office is brand new, beautifully furnished, modern, and very comfortable. I was provided a new-patient courtesy no-cost visit along with a 360° X-ray. Dr. Saeed Yazdianpour provided me a meticulous review of my dental problem and a very thoughtful prognosis. I'm going to come back and make this office my new dentist.
Up-to-date equipment and everything is spotless. Very impressed with the staff and especially Dr Saeed. You will have a very good experience.
I've been to the office a few times and it's extremely clean, super modern technology, and the staff are very helpful. Dr. Saeed was super nice and professional, plus helped explain everything. Thank you!
Within my capacity as a professional RN for over 50 years, I have never encountered or worked with a more talented, skilled, professional, knowledgeable, kind, caring, and meticulous doctor as Dr. Saeed. His office is quiet, relaxed, and a modern environment with high tech equipment, and the staff are welcoming, friendly, helpful, courteous, polite, attentive and supportive people. I was provided with an individualized plan of care along with an itemized financial statement, and all my many questions and concerns were addressed in detail. The outcome of my treatment including my new dentures surpassed my expectations! The devices fit perfectly and look exceptionally beautiful!
I can't say enough great things about Dr Saeed and the care he provides. From the moment you walk in, you can tell he truly cares about his patients and takes pride in his work. What really stands out is how clearly he explains everything—he takes the time to walk you through your treatment options, answers all your questions, and makes sure you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. He doesn't just treat the immediate issue, but looks at your overall dental health and long-term outcomes. It's rare to find someone who combines this level of professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care.
I have to say first off, I don't like going to the dentist. It always seems to hurt so much. But coming here to Next Smile changed my outlook on dental work. The staff here is so nice, and always have a smile when they greet you. And Dr. Saeed — never do you see him without a smile. He does such great work and makes coming to see him very pleasant. If you're looking to choose which dentist to go to, look no further, he's the right choice. Made me have a smile and feel good about myself again.
This is definitely the place to go for exceptional care. Dr. Saeed is very caring and gentle, going out of his way to ensure comfort and satisfaction. The office staff are all kind and helpful. An excellent experience, far surpassing impersonal, 'assembly line' approaches.
Dr. Saeed has been my dentist since his residency days on the East Coast, and I've always been impressed by his dedication and the exceptional quality of his work. He's truly passionate about dentistry and pays close attention to every detail, ensuring the best possible results. Once you experience his care, you'll understand why his patients stay with him for life.
