“Everyone here is wonderful. Dr. Josefsson is incredibly informative, straightforward, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. We always feel comfortable and confident in the care our family receives. We’re so glad we found her and look forward to having her as our dentist for many years to come. Highly recommend!”
“I am a 68 Year old English Male, born to Polish Parents, that has lived in the USA since 1986. The stigma that English people carry that their Teeth are all bad, was true and worsened in my case, because my Parents emigrated to England after the 2nd World War and had very little money to purchase Toothpaste and Tooth Brushes. All the income from Father working two jobs went on Food and paying the living costs. As a result, my Teeth were in very poor condition and needed constant maintenance. To make matters worse, when I was 5 Years old, I was playing Cowboys and Indians with my older Brother, who was only 5 Years older than me. Part of the make believe involved me being tied to a Chair with my Hands behind my Back and my Feet beneath and between the 4 Legs of the Chair. At that stage of life, in my attempts to escape, I thought it would be a good idea to rock the Chair forward. This proved to be a very poor idea, as I fell forward landing on my Face and knocking out my Front Tooth, Root and all. Had it been 2026 and not 1963, we may have known to quickly put the Tooth, Root and all in a Glass of Milk and attempted to have it reinserted into my Jaw. Needless to say, we didn't know and I spent many of my younger Years with a space at the location and then in my Teens, a false Tooth on a Plastic Pallet, which I hated wearing. As this was such a poorly fitting Plastic Tooth, (that didn't match the adjacent one in size, or color) the adjacent front Tooth commenced moving to the side and occupying the space of the missing Tooth. When I reached my mid twenties, I took the plunge and decided to have the English NHS Dental system make me a Bridge to span the Missing front Tooth. This was a real challenge to achieve symmetry with my top two front teeth being central with my upper Lip and over the years, I learnt to compensate by Smiling with my Lips favoring one side to try and restore symmetry. Did I also mention that the English did not/do not have their Wisdom Teeth removed, so to add insult to injury, all my front bottom Teeth were badly compounded. I have been in the USA, legally I might add, since 1986 and I have had many Dentists that have attempted to keep my Mouth full of Teeth in a reasonable condition, but yet they were still a mess. Several Years ago, my luck changed and I found Dr. Lazarof of Sargon Dental, in Encino. What attracted me to him was my need for at least two Implants as two Roots had broken. One of which was at the top close to the front, so needed quick action. I came across an Implant, named Ultra Tooth Implant, invented by Dr. Lazarof, that could be loaded as soon as it was installed, as opposed to waiting up to 6 Months for the Jaw to grow around and lock in the Implant, as required by traditional Implants. I determined that my health and lifestyle was worth it and Dr. Lazarof became my regular Dentist of choice. Earlier this year, I needed a lot of work as a result of old failing Crowns and at that time I decided to have a Mouth make over involving 20 Teeth, to give me a smile that would correct my misaligned top front Teeth and correct the compounded bottom front Teeth. I can proudly say that the final result is absolutely natural looking and magnificent. I commend not only Dr. Lazarof, but his entire staff that are the most proficient team of Dentists, assistants and administration staff that I have ever encountered. They are amazing and would recommend anyone to allow Dr. Lazarof to become their regular Dentist. Especially if their child loses a Front Tooth, requiring an Implant that can be loaded and replacement Tooth installed immediately.”
