Dr. Vafa has been pioneering holistic dental care since 1989, bringing a truly integrative approach to oral health that considers your entire body’s wellness. Whether you’re seeking mercury-free dentistry, biocompatible materials, or simply want a dentist who understands that your mouth affects every other system in your body, he’s seen it all and knows exactly how to help.
When you sit in Dr. Vafa’s chair, something remarkable happens. That knot in your stomach starts to loosen because you’re finally with someone who understands that your dental health is inseparable from your overall vitality. He asks about your energy levels, your sleep quality, your stress patterns – because he knows these all show up in your mouth. This isn’t just about fixing cavities; this is about optimizing your health from the inside out.
Dr. Vafa knows that your mouth is the gateway to your entire body’s health. Those headaches you’ve been having? The fatigue that won’t go away? The digestive issues that seem unrelated? They might all be connected to what’s happening in your mouth. He’s seen patients transform their overall health by addressing chronic inflammation in their gums, removing toxic materials from old fillings, and supporting their body’s natural ability to heal.
This isn’t just about clean teeth, it’s about your whole well-being. Dr. Vafa looks at how your oral health affects your immune system, your heart, even your sleep quality. He understands that everything in your body is connected, and he’ll work with you to uncover the root causes of your health challenges, not just treat the symptoms.
Dr. V. earned his dental degree in 1984 and immediately began studying the connections between oral health and systemic wellness. His years of specialized training gave him deep insights into how dental infections, toxic materials, and oral inflammation can impact your entire body. In 2002, he and his wife Fay chose to make California home, where he could build a practice dedicated to truly integrative dental care.
Dr. Vafa stays connected with the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the California Dental Association, but what really drives his continuing education is his commitment to biocompatible materials, mercury-free dentistry, and treatment approaches that support your body’s natural healing processes. His West Hollywood office uses advanced technology to minimize radiation exposure and employs non-toxic materials that work with your body, not against it.
When you need a dentist who understands that true health comes from addressing the whole person – mind, body, and spirit – Dr. Bruce Vafa is ready to be your partner in wellness.
Dr. Ramtin Vafa grew up watching his father, Dr. Bruce Vafa, take care of families across Los Angeles. He saw how his dad would spend extra time with nervous patients, how he’d remember details about their lives, and how people would leave the office not just with healthier teeth, but genuinely smiling. That’s the kind of dentist Ramtin wanted to become.
Growing up in Los Angeles, Dr. R. knows this city and its people. He understands the stress of LA traffic, the demands of busy careers, and what it’s like to juggle family responsibilities while trying to take care of your health. When he went to NYU’s School of Dentistry, he wasn’t just getting an education, he was preparing to come home and serve the community that raised him.
Now that he’s back, Dr. Ramtin Vafa brings a fresh perspective to the family practice, but with the same values his father instilled in him. He’s not interested in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions. He wants to understand what’s really going on with your health, and that means looking at the whole picture, not just your teeth.
Dr. Vafa believes your mouth tells him a lot about what’s happening in the rest of your body. Chronic headaches, sleep problems, even stress – these things often show up in your oral health first. He’s trained to spot these connections and help you understand them. It’s not about scaring you with medical talk; it’s about helping you feel better overall.
What patients notice most about Dr. R is how he makes them feel heard. He doesn’t rush through appointments or dismiss your concerns. If you’re worried about something, he wants to know about it. If you’re nervous about a procedure, he’ll take the time to explain what’s happening and make sure you’re comfortable every step of the way.
He’s building on his father’s legacy, but he’s also creating his own. Dr. Ramtin Vafa combines the latest dental techniques with old-fashioned care, and he’s committed to being the kind of dentist who makes you feel like family from the moment you walk through the door.
Dr. Sam Gilani has spent decades teaching at UCLA and Cedars Sinai Medical Center, but his real passion is helping people understand that their mouth is the gateway to their entire body’s health. He’s not just a periodontics expert – he’s someone who sees the bigger picture of wellness.
Dr. Gilani knows that inflammation in your gums doesn’t stay in your gums. It travels through your bloodstream, affecting your heart, your brain, your immune system. He’s seen patients transform their overall health by addressing what’s happening in their mouth first. That’s why he approaches every case from a whole-body perspective.
When you sit down with Dr. Gilani, he doesn’t just look at your teeth and gums. He wants to know about your stress levels, your sleep patterns, your nutrition. He understands that your oral health reflects what’s happening in every other system in your body. If you’re dealing with chronic inflammation, autoimmune issues, or just feeling run down, he knows how to help your body heal from the inside out.
What makes Dr. Gilani different is his belief that your body has an incredible ability to heal itself when given the right support. He doesn’t just treat symptoms – he helps you understand the root causes. Whether it’s recommending specific nutrients that support gum health, discussing how stress affects your immune system, or explaining the connection between your oral bacteria and your gut health, he’s your partner in total wellness.
Dr. Gilani finds harmony in classical music and time with his family, and that same balance shows up in his practice. He believes healing happens when everything in your body is working together. He’s not just treating your gums; he’s helping you create the foundation for lifelong health and vitality.
For patients who are serious about natural health and understand that everything in the body is connected, Dr. Gilani is the periodontics expert who speaks your language.
