Sleep apnea is a serious, sometimes fatal medical disorder that affects around 10% of American men over the age of 40, and 6% of American women of the same age. Sleep apnea sufferers completely stop breathing during sleep, sometimes hundreds of times in a single night. Normal breathing ceases because the airway becomes obstructed, causing a serious reduction of airflow to the lungs.
A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the soft tissues of the mouth and the underlying jawbone which supports the teeth.

The staffs are very nice. I had a deep cleaning on my teeth by one of the staffs working there she was wonderful and I barely feel no pain during the procedures. I will definitely go there again.

We had an excellent experience at our first visit to Dr. Balabanian's office. Everything around is super clean and neat. Doctor is very professional, nice and caring. Explains every single procedure in detail. No wait time - did not wait even a minute. Will definitely return. Hopefully we have found our family dentist. Everyone of us got a nice surprise: received a gift - tooth cleaning kit.

Amazing and caring dentist who skillfully and carefully treats your teeth. Very experienced. Very caring and friendly staff. Always on time, no waiting. I have been to him for cavities and cleaning ...he ensures you aren't paying when you don't have to... I went asking for a consult on wisdom tooth extraction... he didn't even charge for his quick opinion and was very focused on solving my problem.

My wife had a dental emergency and our friends recommended Dr Balabanian. We were able to arrange a next-day visit and Dr Rafi fixed the problem in no time. We've both visited him since and become his patients. He was super professional and courteous at all times and his staff is very helpful and friendly. Both thumbs up!

Everything was smooth, on time, professional, caring. He did both filling, crown and root canal all with success. He knows the teeth very well, but still sends you to a specialist if it's a very complicated issue, instead of attempting. He doesn't have much focus on the billing, as he doesn't like to charge you extra at all. Also a pretty cool guy to chat with ;}

I have been going to Dr. Balabanian with my parents, and now as an adult, for over 20 years. He has a fantastic staff and always has the most advanced tools and equipment. They always have spent time to talk through my dental issues with me so I understand what it will take to address them. They are always pleasant and accommodating when it comes to appointments, types of insurance and rescheduling. Highly recommend whether for your children or yourself!

Dr. Balabanian is a caring, compassionate and talented dentist. He always goes the extra distance to make sure the patient is informed and comfortable. After years of going to dentists who were constantly up-selling services, our family was relieved to find a dedicated professional who is not only great at his craft but a great human being too. I highly recommend his services!

I had a great office visit! Everyone was friendly and helpful, and answered any questions I may have had. The visit was a standard clean-up, but even then, I felt like Dr. Rafi and his assistants were all very thorough. They explained everything that they were doing, and I felt at ease knowing I was in good hands. I would highly recommend this office to anyone who is debating.
