Dr. Gholam Ali Miamee DDS is not accepting exam appointments, checkups or cleanings.

Dr. Gholam Ali Miamee DDS accepts only surgical procedures that require special attention due to some complications.

If the patient has a problem that may require Dr. Gholam Ali Miamee DDS then they must first have examination with our associate dentists.

After the associate dentist treatment plans a surgical procedure that requires special attention, the patient will then be offered an appointment with Dr. Gholam Ali Miamee DDS for consult and/or treatment.

Bad news is he can't do your checkup/cleaning anymore. Good news is he will be standing by if someone in your family needs a tough extraction or root canal one day.

Dr. Gholam Ali Miamee DDS (and all the dentists in our dental office) are only general dentists. You should always get second opinion or expert level care from specialist dentists such as endodontist, oral surgeon, periodontist, prosthodontist, orthodontist and/or pedodontist to get the highest level of care. Specialist dentists are far superior to general dentist in every way. They have amazing training that is much more advanced than a general dentist. Furthermore, they have experience that is light years ahead of any general dentist's experience with these complicated procedures. Thus, even though Dr. Gholam Ali Miamee DDS and other general dentists perform extractions, root canals and implants we can never hope to have the same level of expertise as a formally trained specialist dentist. Thus, we recommend Dr. Charles Fields Periodontist, Dr. Pedram Yahgmaie Oral Surgeon, Dr. Gerard Marlin Prosthodontist, Dr. Lan Tran Orthodontist, Dr Alan Woohee Lee endodontist, etc.

10 Common Misconceptions About Family Dentistry Debunked

Dental myths can be stubborn, but let’s bite into the truth with this eye-opening guide debunking the most common misconceptions about family dentistry. It’s time to polish up on your dental knowledge!
Draw a graphic in flat design style. Create an image of a happy family smiling together, showcasing bright, healthy teeth, against a background of soft dental related icons, like a toothbrush, tooth, and dental floss.

1. Only Kids Need Regular Check-Ups

Contrary to popular belief, regular dental check-ups are crucial for individuals of all ages, not just children. Adults too can benefit from preventive dental care to identify early signs of tooth decay and gum disease. Neglecting oral health can lead to serious problems, including cardiovascular diseases. Hence, it’s vital for the entire family, including seniors, to visit their dentist regularly.

2. Braces Are Just for Teens

While it’s true that many people undergo orthodontic treatment during their teenage years, braces aren’t exclusive to this age group. Adults too can benefit from braces, as orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age. Modern advancements in dentistry have also introduced more aesthetic options like clear aligners, making braces a feasible option for people conscious about their appearance.

3. Cavities in Baby Teeth Don’t Matter

Some may dismiss cavities in baby teeth, thinking they will just fall out anyway. However, untreated cavities can lead to pain, infection, and problems with the development of adult teeth. Healthy baby teeth are also essential for proper chewing, speech development, and holding space for permanent teeth. Therefore, it’s crucial to address cavities in baby teeth promptly.

4. Gum Disease Only Affects Adults

Gum disease is often associated with adults, but children and teenagers are also at risk, especially if they have poor oral hygiene habits. Conditions like gingivitis can occur at a young age and, if not treated, escalate into more serious issues. Teaching children about the importance of brushing and flossing is key to preventing gum disease.

5. Wisdom Teeth Always Need to Be Removed

While many people have their wisdom teeth removed to prevent potential problems, it’s not a necessity for everyone. Some individuals have enough space in their mouth to accommodate these late bloomers without any issues. A dentist can evaluate through x-rays whether your wisdom teeth pose a threat to your dental health or if they can remain in place.

6. More Sugar Means More Cavities

While excessive sugar intake can contribute to cavity formation, it’s not just the amount but also the frequency and duration of sugar exposure that matters. It’s how long the sugar remains on your teeth that leads to decay. Hence, regular dental hygiene practices like brushing and fiddling are paramount in preventing cavities, regardless of sugar consumption.

7. A Harder Toothbrush Cleans Better

A common misconception is that a harder toothbrush cleans teeth more effectively. In reality, a toothbrush with stiff bristles can damage the gums and enamel. Dentists usually recommend using a soft toothbrush and applying gentle pressure in order to effectively remove plaque without causing harm to the teeth and gums.

8. Teeth Whitening Damages Enamel

Many people believe that teeth whitening procedures weaken enamel, but when performed correctly, teeth whitening is safe and does not harm the enamel. The key is to follow product instructions or to have the procedure done by a professional to ensure the health and safety of your teeth.

9. You Don’t Need to Visit the Dentist If You Don’t Have Pain

Waiting for dental pain before visiting a dentist is a risky approach. Many dental issues, such as cavities and gum disease, can develop silently, without any immediate discomfort. Regular check-ups can catch these problems early, making treatment simpler and less invasive.

10. All Dental Treatments Are Expensive

The cost of dental care can be a concern for many families, but not all treatments break the bank. Many preventive measures and treatments are quite affordable, and many dental offices offer payment plans or work with insurance companies. Investing in preventive dental care can also save money in the long run by avoiding more costly and extensive procedures.

What our patients say

This was my first visit and I adored this dentist!!! Ultra-modern and hip. The doctors and the whole staff were friendly and made you feel very at ease. Each chair has a personal flat screen and a huge movie list. I watched the notebook while I got my teeth cleaned!!! They also do Zoom Whitening and I have already made my appt for it!

This is the NICEST and BEST dentist office I’ve ever been to. They were friendly, gentle and accomodating. I’ve been to dentists who were crabby and mean, ones who got irritated when you truthfully admitted to skipping a few flosses here and there. The people who helped me were amazing! I’m glad we found this place! Go now!! You will not be disappointed! They even have TV while you get something done.

Absolutely Fabulous! Not only did they do a great job with my cleaning, but they also had the daunting task of filling my 5-year old daughter’s cavities. Needless to say that she was not the most cooperative with them but they were always patient with her and, although it took 3 trips before she finally was able to go through with it (lol), their first priority was always making sure that she didn’t develop a stigma about dentists and remained comfortable. I will be calling you again in 6 months! Oh, and I love the fact that they have TVs to watch while getting work done!

Dr. Miamee and his crew were outstanding and they all were treating me in a most professional way. I will recommend them to all my family and friends.

The most contemporary office I’ve been to. It’s worth going just to see the technology there. Super friendly staff and great doctor. He is so caring I can not believe it. I highly recommend him for kids.
