Dental veneers are wafer thin shells that cover the surface of the tooth in order to prevent damage to the tooth or to make it look better. Veneers can change the appearance of a tooth by altering its shape, color and even size. If you have teeth that are stained and unsightly, visit Smile Focus today and let our expert dentist tell you more about dental veneers.

Dental emergencies are situations that require immediate action. The longer the delay, the bigger the risk that the situation could turn into something more dangerous for a patient's health. Dental emergencies can threaten much more than your oral health. Dental emergencies happen without warning. Teeth can be chipped, broken, or lost in the blink of an eye.
Sometimes it's too late or impossible to save a tooth, and the patient arrives at the dentists' with an unsightly gap. The solution for these situations is dental implants. Dental implants are metal teeth placed into the jawbone to provide a strong base for fixed or removable false teeth.

Dental implants are of two main types: Endosteal implants are placed in the jawbone and are typically made of titanium; and Subperiosteal, positioned under the gum but on or above the jawbone.Since dental implants are fixed, they offer more comfort in eating and speaking once you get used to them and last a lot longer than removable dentures or bridges.
Get your perfect clear braces at Smile Focus, a top-rated cosmetic, family and emergency dental practice serving the Santa Clarita, Valencia and Stevenson Ranch communities and beyond with unmatched quality care. Contact Smile Focus for a free consultation today.

As the name suggests, the difference between clear braces and traditional braces is that clear braces use transparent or tooth-colored brackets and wires to avoid the unsightly look of traditional metal wire braces.Clear braces offer a practical solution for people who want to get treatment for misaligned teeth but are too self-conscious about using traditional metal braces.

Dr. Gharibian and Elda are wonderful and their dental practice is the best I have gone to, even in many years of moving. They are exceptionally kind, caring, and enthusiastic about their work, and everyone there makes the office feel warm and welcoming. I would strongly and sincerely recommend Smile Focus to anyone in the area; they make going to the dentist a joy (which is difficult!)

Just finished my aligners with Smile Focus. I'm 100% satisfied with the results!
From my aligners, to teeth cleaning, to my wisdom tooth extract I have felt completely taken care of at Smile focus. Dr Gharibian, Elda, Angie and Rose have been so caring, knowledgeable and professional!
I love the friendly atmosphere there!

LOVE this place. My Family and I have been going to them for years. Sweetest dentist and the entire staff. They are so kind they even kept a pair of earring my sister forgot for over a year and remembered to give them to us when we came back for more work! I went to Baywood as they were part of my then insurance and not only were they TOTAL salesmen they were liars too. Smile Focus quoted me almost $3,000 LESS in work and saved a tooth that was badly infected while Baywood said I needed it removed/bridge/implant/etc... I am SO glad I ended up going to Smile Focus Dental instead. HIGHLY recommended

At smile focus you feel you are good taking care off... professional and sweet staff, they know what they are doing. Elda is sweet and professional, quick accommodation.... Dr Gharibian is the best, I pulled a tooth, with stitches I didn't have to take even one medicine for my case, which I have never encounter before with other drs where I had to live on Advil for 6 month for the same case. Literally he is the best. Try him and you will never regret it. I had excellent experience with a dentist. Can you imagine.

I had cracked and broken a tooth down to the nerve badly. The most terrifying feeling ever, I was panicked and in a lot of pain. A friend of mine quickly referred me to Smile Focus, they took me right in, numbed me up, filed down the broken tooth because it was extremely sharp and cutting my tongue. They placed a temporary and scheduled me to come back right away to begin the root canal. I have a phobia of dentists and always have. Smile Focus went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and even played cartoons for my 4 year old! They finished my tooth today (after only 3 appointments

I've had fear of dentists for many years ever since I was a child so coming in first time I definitely nervous. After discovering that I needed several root canals and fillings I was even more fearful. Luckily the care I received was nothing short of awesome. I am glad that I discovered this place with great friendly people and am getting my teeth on the right path before it got really bad.

Even though my fear isn't completely gone I definitely feel more relaxed coming here!

It's a very neat dentist place! I really enjoy their good services here. I've been with them for three years now, they took great care of my teeth and never even try to up sale, which is the part I like the most. I finally just decided to do my invisible lines here, it's been six weeks and it's working very well. The doctor cares about each patient, when I called them for any requests, they would schedule me for a check up right away.

Words can’t describe just how awesome this dentist and it’s staff is !
I had started my journey back in September of last year with getting my deep cleaning done in just 1 day! That’s correct 1 day! And an awesome job they performed!
Then they fixed some issues I had with a couple of teeth . And there service was excellent, clean , And most of all treated me like I was family.
I decided to get braces for myself. And I’m 46 . My teeth where terribly crooked and Always where very embarrassing for me . But the doctor told me that I have options to choose from to get them straightened. And

Went back for a check up and the doc was very easy going and good to deal with.
Previous dentist always said I had something that needed to be done.
This guy doesn't push extra services and did good work for me.

Love the TV at the chairs to keep me distracted from the work being done.
