Meet Dr. Ray Besharati
Helping People through Gentle Dentistry
My patients trust me to provide them with gentle care that improves their oral health and smile. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to exceed their expectations. Dentistry is not only about caring for teeth: it’s about strengthening someone’s dental health and, in turn, helping their body become healthier.
As a dentist, I can relieve a patient of dental pain and improve their quality of life. I can also restore function, which allows a person to eat comfortably. And I can make your smile even more beautiful to increase your self-esteem and confidence.
My staff and I work hard to establish a partnership with each patient. We cannot make a lasting change in a person’s oral health without their participation. By focusing on education and preventive care, and offering plenty of support and encouragement, we help patients develop and keep healthy smiles.
My Team
My team is part of my family. Each person has been chosen following rigorous training and selection. We work exceedingly well together, and those connections are reflected in how we care for patients. We’re good-humored and good-natured, with a down-to-earth approach.
Education and Continuing Education
I earned a Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the prestigious Tufts University School of Dentistry in Boston. I firmly believe in continuing education, which involves constantly expanding my skills and knowledge.
I have completed hundreds of hours of continuing general dentistry and aesthetics education, including courses with Pankey Institute in Florida. I finished my graduate certificate in oral pathology and oral radiology from USC. I also enrolled in three years of Master of Science in Oral Medicine and TMJ Disorder at USC, which will grant me an MS in TMJ and oral disease. I recently published my first book, Concise Guide to Clinical Dentistry, an upcoming series.
I am an Editorial Board Member at the Scientific Archives of Dental Sciences.
I have always wanted to make dentistry safer, faster, and more effective. Combining my experience with innovative dental technologies, we developed breakthrough professional techniques and sleek, sophisticated, at-home consumer, and professional teeth whitening treatments. Our brand, Raviance™ Teeth Whitening System, is a trademarked system as an FDA-registered device for teeth whitening. With this system, you can achieve professional whitening in the comfort of your home. This system uses the same technology that dentists use in the office.
Oral healthcare is an evolving field. New technologies, materials, and techniques all mean a better treatment experience and more robust results for my patients. By completing continuing education courses and attending lectures, seminars, and meetings, I ensure I remain at the cutting edge of dentistry.
Personal Life
I bike, run, or do yoga when I'm not in the office. I am also an avid audiophile; I enjoy vinyl records, and continuously search for new records in different places. I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and practice martial arts.
