Dr. Elham Abbassi

 

My goal practicing dentistry is to provide comprehensive oral care along with patient education. Oral health is one of the most important primary cares that an individual needs since oral disease could contribute to other health problems such as heart disease or digestive problem. I enjoy explaining the necessary treatment to my patients helping them to make the right decision regarding their oral health. Communication is a necessary element in providing better care. I also enjoy practicing different disciplines in dentistry such as Crown & Bridge and Veneers, Periodontal, Endodontic, Oral Surgery, Restoration, Orthodontic, and Denture. My patient demographic includes children, adult, and geriatric patients.
