Ultimate Teeth Whitening: Only Your Dentist has Laser Technology and the Most Powerful Whitening Agents
Believe it or not, some time in a dentist’s chair might actually be the most convenient way to a whiter smile. Most of the over-the-counter options take weeks to work. This is because most of them use carbamide peroxide, a weak bleaching agent. The usual amount, 10%, is only equivalent to 3% hydrogen peroxide, and most over-the-counter whitening systems top out at around 22%. Your dentist, however, has access to systems that include up to 43% hydrogen peroxide, which means they can usually...

"I think of Dr. Ghassemi as Dr. NoPain. I have been going to the dentist for at least 40 years. Like most people I dreaded going because of the pain. I have had a lot of work done in my mouth and suffered much despite brushing regularly. I have been a patient of Dr. Ghassemi for about 3 years now and I realized that he is the BEST dentist I have ever been to! REALLY. I don't know what he does that is different from all the other dentists but I experience LESS pain than EVER during and after dental treatment. Last 8 visits I have not had any pain after procedures like cleanings, fillings, a root canal, crown fitting or crown installation. Ghassemi even seems to administer the novocaine with little pain. He has the technique down - or he has magic in his finger tips! I just don't know what it is, but I am in awe of his ability to provide me with such wonderful pain-free service. I am in awe. His staff is great too."

"I have to admit, the first thing that attracted me to Dr. Ghassemi was the Satuday hours, which helped immensely in scheduling an appointment around a busy work schedule. That said, I have never been to a better dentist, and I have a long and detailed dental history. His staff is skillful, his equipment state of the art, and his facilites clean, updated and well organized. Dr. Ghassemi himself has a wonderfully relaxing manner, a professional touch, and was very willing to answer any questions, make appropriate recommendations and carefully explain what he was recommending and why. Since beginning with him after a long decade without insurance, he has done two crowns and a half a dozen fillings. All have been painless, easy procedures, and fit and function as well or better than the original teeth. Its difficult to find someone so good in the bay area. I would recommend Dr. Ghassemi to anyone without hesitation.
I prefer a single provider, but did have one appointment with one of his partners, Dr. Albert Lee. He was very professional and I would also recommend him highly."

"For more than 15 years, it has been my good fortune to have received dental treatment from Dr. Ghassemi.
I have been impressed greatly by his knowledge, skills and outstanding personal demeanor. Dr. Ghassemi has performed extensive work on my teeth including many root canals, six implants and numerous crowns. The work was done without my experiencing pain and all crowns were properly fitted, shaped and colored. Dr. Ghassemi's office and staff is state of the art and professional. In fact, I enjoy watching the dental education videos constantly showing on a television monitor in the office waiting area during my always short waits for treatment."

"I have known Dr. Ghassemi for many years. I have always been impressed by his skills and abilities. Dr. Ghassemi is the most talented and professional dentist I have ever had work on my teeth. A few years ago Dr. Ghassemi did a complete restoration of my teeth including two implants, root canals and many crowns. The work was performed pain-free and all crowns were beautifully shaped with excellent coloring. Dr. Ghassemi uses all the latest equipment and has a great staff. I always look forward to office visits for cleaning and check ups."
