Your physician asked about your dental work. Here is where to take that question.
Many patients arrive because a physician, a functional medicine doctor or a chiropractor wonders whether the mouth is part of a bigger picture: old amalgam, a site that never healed well, a bite that keeps the jaw tense.
This practice is built around those referrals. Dr. Panahpour examines, images and explains what he finds, and with your permission shares it with your doctor.

What happens after your doctor's referral.
Four steps, at your pace. Nothing is drilled at the first visit.
- 01
Bring the question
Your doctor's referral, recent labs or imaging if you have them, and a list of past dental work.
- 02
A long first conversation
Typically 60 to 90 minutes, by phone or in person, about your history and what you have already tried.
- 03
Imaging where it helps
Cone beam CT shows what a flat x-ray can miss inside the bone.
- 04
Findings, explained
You see what he sees and hear the options, including monitoring, before anything is decided.
Not sure this is right for you?
Ask Dr. Panahpour directly. The first conversation is unhurried, typically 60 to 90 minutes, by phone or in person.
Built around referrals.
Seven in ten of Dr. Panahpour's patients are sent by a physician, a chiropractor or another practitioner. They usually arrive with a question their doctor could not answer from the outside: is something in the mouth part of this?
His job is to answer that honestly, with imaging and a careful exam, and to say so when the answer is no. He is IAOMT accredited, SMART certified and has been in practice since 1994.
