“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.
