Dr. Zirakian treats everyone from young children to adults well into their nineties. Although Dr. Zirakian provides general dental services, his main focus is esthetic and family services.
These include bonding, tooth-colored fillings, cosmetic porcelain crowns and veneers, cosmetic bridgework, root canal therapy, and cosmetic esthetic reconstruction.
While conventional dentistry has always been effective, many consider the visible results of repair unattractive, such as silver fillings or the wire clasps of partial dentures. This can be changed now by esthetic and cosmetic dentistry, born in the late 1970s.
Esthetic dentistry uses conventional procedures and treatments to solve problems but with an improved, natural-looking result. Cosmetic dentistry comprises totally elective procedures performed solely to enhance appearance. Both types of procedures require a high level of clinical experience and artistic abilities.

“20+ years later….I went to Dr Zirakian in my 20’s and he replaced multiple childhood silver fillings (a couple deep ones) and gave me a root canal. I unfortunately moved away and see a different dentist now, also needed oral surgery in the meantime and they are all amazed at the perfect work he did, which is still perfect 20+ years later. Great bedside manner, gentle and most importantly – strong and sustainable dentistry.” Sonja S.
“I haven’t been to a dentist in years! And I had to have an emergency visit which is leading me to a surgeon unfortunately. But Dr. Zirakian is awesome! And was able to see me on short notice! Really down to earth and knows what he’s doing! The office is really clean and receptionist Melissa was very helpful and friendly!” Joey B.
