About the authorDr. Alireza Panahpour is an artist and scientist who specializes in state-of-the-art general and esthetic (cosmetic) dentistry, using an integrative approach to healing, which combines conventional and natural methods.
Dr. Panahpour graduated from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in 1993. While practicing in the US and abroad, he became acutely aware of his patient's needs and desires for more than basic dental care, but also overall health improvement.
In response he created a successful practice in Los Angeles, California and joined the team at South Coast Medical Center for New Medicine. Along with Leigh Erin Connealy, MD, they together figure out the 'root of the cause'. His philosophy is to broaden the normal narrow scope of dentistry to include how the patient's oral health affects his/her immune system, digestive system, structural and energetic alignment and general well-being. He understands that all dental procedures performed in the mouth have a direct impact on the whole body's health.
He is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine, Environmental Dental Association, International College of Acupuncture and Electro-Therapeutics, and International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.
