Dr. Kiyan Mehdizadeh, DMD

Most cosmetic dentists refer out for surgery. Most surgeons don’t do cosmetic work. Dr. Mehdizadeh trained in both — and that combination is the whole point of this practice.

He earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine, cum laude, from Boston University, after a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Emory. What followed was years of focused post-doctoral training across the disciplines that usually live in separate offices: implant dentistry and bone grafting at Loma Linda and UCLA, fixed prosthodontics under Mauro Fradeani in Italy, periodontal microsurgery with Hürzeler and Zuhr in Munich, and advanced occlusion and bite design.

He is also among the relatively few cosmetic and implant dentists able to provide IV sedation in his own office, with intravenous sedation training from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. That matters for more than comfort: longer surgical and restorative appointments — implant placement, full-arch reconstruction, extensive veneer work — can be completed in a single sedated visit, managed by the same doctor performing the treatment, with a strong safety record throughout.

That range is the point. When gum surgery, bone grafting, implant placement, sedation, and the final restoration are all planned and performed by one provider, there are no referral chains, no handoffs between offices, and no one pointing fingers when something doesn’t line up. Treatment stays continuous — diagnosed, sequenced, and executed by a single provider accountable for the whole result.

The work is supported by an in-house dental laboratory and master ceramist, so restorations are designed and refined through direct doctor-technician collaboration rather than shipped out and hoped for. The practice has operated in private practice since 2012, focused on cosmetic, implant, and full-mouth reconstructive dentistry for patients across Southern California.
