I have been coming to Dr. Shanefar’s office for a few months now for dental cleaning and to treat cavities. I have had a great experience with Dr. Shanefar and Dr. Chen, who are thorough, professional and genuine. I dreaded coming to the dentist, but I appreciate them making the experience a lot less daunting.

Dr. Shayefar is the best periodontist in Brentwood ! He made me feel so comfortable and took the time to explain everything before and during my procedure. You can tell he truly cares about his patients and takes pride in his work. His staff is also incredibly kind and welcoming, it really makes a difference.

I had bone loss around my teeth and other doctors said that I would have to extract my teeth. But I got a second opinion with Dr Shayefar and he said he could actually save my teeth. He gave me hope. So I ended up getting a surgery to treat my bone loss and I got bone graft to help build the bone to save my teeth and the procedure went smoothly and it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. It’s been over 5 years and I still have all my teeth. I’m so happy I picked to Dr Shayefar as my surgeon. He gave me the ability to smile with confidence and the ability to chew hard solid foods again. I don’t know where I would be without him. My life is so much better now. Can’t recommend enough

I needed urgently to make an appointment with Connect Periodontics and they were able to schedule me the same day. I was in a lot of pain and Dr Shayefar helped treat my dental problem. I was recommended by several friends and family, and this office lived up to the expectations.

I had gingival recession on several teeth and my teeth looked really long and I hated my teeth. I also had horrible sensitivity with my teeth, I couldn’t drink anything cold or hot. I did a gum graft with Dr Shayefar and now my teeth look beautiful and I have no more recession and absolutely no more sensitivity anymore. Thank you Dr Shayefar for making my smile beautiful again!!

This is the best office ever! They are so truthful and never to try to upsell you with dental treatment. They are very conservative and only tell you what to get done if it’s absolutely necessary. I’ve always recommended all my friends and family here. Everyone is so sincere and honest which is so hard to find. So happy to have found this dental office!

Dr Shayefar has magic hands! He is very skilled and talented. The gum grafts he did are absolutely beautiful. You can’t even tell he did surgery there. It looks so natural and healthy. I never even had to take ibuprofen or any pain killers. I had no discomfort! And he called the day after the surgery to check up on me. That is a very sweet thing to do. Everyone here feels like family. 10/10 Dr and office.

Had an excellent experience here. I had all four wisdom teeth removed and it went super smooth. I was relaxed knowing that the doctors are knowledgeable. They do a great job making sure you understand the process what is about to take place and educate you on how to care for yourself moving forward. Would highly recommend.
