This review is wayyyyy over due. I met Dr. Chris Gazarian and staff over a year ago. The staff here are truly fantastic individuals- they are all attentive, respectful and very kind. I came across Dr. Gazarian, in search of a biological dentistry approach and I found exactly that with Dr Gazarian. He has a great passion for biological dentistry. I've spent hours talking to him and learning so much. I definitely trust my dental care with Studio Dental Arts.

I love Dr. Chris and his staff. If you're looking for a nerdy holistic dentist that really listens to your wants and needs. When I say nerd, it's a compliment. He's soooo knowledgeable about so many aspects of your overall health on top of the expertise in dentistry. I was blown away. I find it interesting that people complain about his office giving bad service or are money hungry, because it really isn't the case -- IMO. They never try to push anything on you and honestly, they have the best prices in town (that I've found) for holistic dentistry. He will always spend as much time with you as needed and never makes you feel rushed. Oh, and his work is also exceptional. He's had to replace multiple crowns for me and it's always done so well. AND they're super close to me. I used to drive all the way BH for my dentist and they were almost twice while being not as knowledgeable or producing the same kind of high quality work. Whoop whoop!

I have been to at least 5 dentists and they were no where near to be in comparison with Dr. Gazarian. His knowledge and treatment approach is impeccable. The 100-150 5Star reviews of others don't mean anything, all they care about is quantity of their clients and focus more on offering low prices by compromising quality. I have never seen any type of doctor to go into the consultation so much in depth that the office people had to interrupt the consulation several time to let him know that they need to leave and it's the end of the work day.
It was a blessing to find him and gain the knowledge that he had given and plus to meet a doctor who actually cares and does the best for his clients. There is so much to write about him but in one word, he is the BEST in the business.
On top of this office girls are awesome and that $50 cancellation fee is totally on point. It's there for people to be responsible and not waste the doctor's time, it's not there for him to make money off of people.

I cannot recommend Dr. Gazarian enough, After experiencing issues with a root canal that I believe was linked to my autoimmune condition, I decided to go for a consultation with Dr. Gazarian. From the very first visit, I was impressed by his thoughtfulness, extensive knowledge, and expertise. He took the time to explain everything thoroughly, addressing my concerns with genuine care and attention. His passion for continued learning is evident, which makes me feel even more confident in his treatments and recommendations.
After having the infected root canal removed, I noticed a significant improvement in my health, and I truly believe Dr. Gazarian's approach made a difference. He is not only an excellent dentist but also someone you can trust with your health. The front office staff are also wonderful--always friendly, responsive, and great at keeping communication clear and timely. I look forward to seeing everyone at the office. If you're looking for a biological dentist, Dr. Gazarian is the one to see!

Dr Chris was the final step in resolving decades of my battle with Lyme disease. He saw what no other dentist ever even knew to look for in the first place. On my initial consult, he sat with me for over an hour and did what is rarely done in medicine these days - he listened. And he educated me. And from there, with no pressure, I made the decision to move forward with treatment to finally resolve the Lyme disease.
I had 4 infected cavitations and 1 root canal removed by the oral surgeon he partners with who is beyond incredible. I could text him day or night as I was recovering. I was taken care of with such kindness and compassion. If you have Lyme, you know doctors are rarely kind to us and they rarely actually find lasting solutions.
I can't recommend Studio Dental Arts enough. His entire team is so kind and knowledgeable. I no longer dread the dentist!

I had been sick with colds and flus all the time. I blamed it on the grandkids, but since I've had all of the work done, the metal out, and one zirconia implant, I have not been sick!
Also, after we started NightLase here, the very next morning my pH was 7.0 which is perfect, and I slept 8 hours, which I almost cried about because I haven't slept eight hours at a time in years. I've also had chronic back pain from an injury for the last couple years that wasn't really healing, and since the first NightLase treatment my back pain has significantly decreased to the point where it shocked me because I expected to have chronic pain forever!

Here's the deal - I work in the dental field and service upward of 120 dentists. I can tell you from personal experience - it is rare to find an honest, experienced, and caring dentist who practices holistic dentistry.
I chose Dr. Gazarian to be my family's personal dentist. We appreciate his integrity and biological approach to Dentistry. Truely a gem!

How have I not left a review until now! So best Dentist EVER but why? So quick and to the point. 1. The office and exam areas are immaculate clean. 2. They us ozonated water as the regular cleaning water which is very expensive and very good for your gums and teeth. 3. The staff here is friendly and knowledgeable and easy to get quotes and pricing from. 4. The cleanings here are the most comfortable experiences I have ever had. I do not even need Novocain anymore because they are very gentle and caring. And last but not least Dr. Chris is the not only the kindest Dentist but he's also very knowledgeable about modern dentistry and only uses the highest quality products on your teeth. I will never go anywhere else for my Dental work ever again!!

I am so happy I found Chris Gazarian, he is an amazing Biological Dentist that has so much information to share , he understands the mouth and body connection, gives the best advice about proper healing. I love his staff and the surgeon in their office is great! I've been working on getting rid of my infected root canals and I'm so happy with their kind and caring approach. I've been through lots of dental trauma but I'm working on getting my mouth into full health one step at a time. I feel like I'm in great hands!

Everyone at Studio Dental Arts is extremely welcoming, helpful, attentive, and friendly. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, experts at what they do, and super efficient! The pricing is also very reasonable. I could not have asked for a better dental office experience!

Dr. Chris has always gone above and beyond to take care of my dental needs! I have referred him to other coworkers who have said that they received nothing but excellent service from his as well. Based on previous experiences, I have realized that unfortunately there are dentists who try to take advantage of their patients by doing a terrible job on services knowing that clients sign something saying they are not liable. Dr. Chris has worked with me to fix other dentists at Pasadena Dental Care's mistakes. Dr. Chris and his wife Lala have created an impeccable dental organization that goes above and beyond for patient care services. I am so lucky to have found them, and highly recommend their services. Trust me, you will not be disappointed!

This is the best dental office I've been to. I can't seem to find anyone else that is fairly priced and I keep coming back, even after moving!

SMART-Certified
Recognizing how mercury is harming us is often the impetus in the search for biological dental health. Safely removing toxic metals from the mouth is one hallmark of biological dentistry. Meticulous application of the SMART protocol's rigorous safety standards help protect you and everyone from the enormous hazard of removing metal the conventional way.
Replacing metal with biocompatible materials often brings immediate improvements to symptoms like brain fog, EMF-sensitivity, and so many more esoteric issues. But changing metal out by drilling can create a toxic cloud that can be devastating to health. This is why the IAOMT developed the protocols to reduce or eliminate exposure of mercury and other metals to patients, dentists, office staff, and others during dental procedures.
Our office is SMART-certified for safe removal, and of course we are mercury-free. We employ numerous enterprise-grade mercury traps and filters for a safe office with very strict adherence to all safety procedures. We hate mercury very, very much and spend great efforts to ensure that nobody is unnecessarily exposed to mercury in our office. More details are available on our SMART Protocol page.
Disclaimer: The ADA maintains the position that mercury-amalgam fillings are safe and effective.
Fluoride-Free
Fluoride is yet another toxin that can have negative effects on nearly every part of the human body. The potential for harm has been clearly established in scientific research. For example, fluoride:
• inactivates 62 enzymes,
• accellerates the aging process,
• disrupts the immune system,
• inhibits the thyroid gland,
• lowers IQ,
• weakens bones and leads to arthritis and osteoporosis,
• causes increased lead absorption,
• and causes genetic damage.
Fluoride is commonly touted as "safe and effective," but it's neither. In fact, hydrofluorosilicic acid:
• is extremely toxic industrial waste,
• has absolutely no benefit to humans,
• has cummulative detrimental effects, and
• is being added to our tap water.
Based on clear and unbiased science, our office has taken the important position of being fluoride-free. Our dental materials are fluoride-free including fillings, polishing paste, and anything used for treating or preventing sensitivity or cavities. Even our water is fluoride-free — both drinking water and the water in our dental chairs. (The one exception is glass-ionomer materials which contain some fluoride in the form of natural salts -- sodium fluoride -- and not the toxic hydrofluorosilicic acid.)
Disclaimer: The ADA maintains the position that fluoride safely reduces the risk of cavities.
Ozone
Ozone is nature's magical antibiotic that has surprising healing effects on teeth and oral tissues. In biological dentistry, ozone is used to heal dental decay, treat sensitivity, treat gum disease, encourage healthy bone growth, treat infections, prevent cavities, and even save nerves from the all-too-common root canal treatment.
In a biological dental office, ozone is routinely used during fillings, crowns, and cleanings to keep teeth, nerves, roots, and gums healthy. It can even be used to mitigate some of the harmful effects of root canal treated teeth if you already have any.
Ozone is one of the most important tools in biological dentistry and oral surgery. We couldn't achieve biological results without it.
Disclaimer: These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
Biocompatibility
Biocompatibility is another hallmark of biological dentistry. We use non-toxic, BPA-free, monomer-free, fluoride-free, and mercury-free materials that keep your immune system at peace.
Conventional dentistry uses many materials with little consideration given to whole-body and long-term effects. Often dental materials can be neurotoxic, allergenic, or cause chronic irritation and inflammation. In biological dentistry, biocompatibility is always given the highest priority. By choosing materials free from toxins, we can not only reduce any burden to the immune system but also keep oral tissues in a healthier state, maximizing the lifespan of your teeth and dental work, minimizing odors, pain, sensitivity, inflammation, recession, and many other signs and symptoms of toxicity.
Laser Dentistry
Lasers take dentistry to a whole new level, often eliminating the need for drills and even anesthetic. Laser dentistry opens many new doors, from photobiomodulation to snoring solutions, and so much more.
The Fotona Lightwalker allows us to treat teeth and tissues using a minimally-invasive and non-traumatic approach. The result is less pain, inflammation, and faster healing. Lasers even enhance bonding and the quality of our restorations! It's technology that is very much at home in a biological dental office.
Oral Surgery
Biological oral surgery addresses hidden, chronic dental sources of infection and is a critical part of the biological journey. We provide meticulous guidance and services ranging from PRF to ozone and lasers to ensure true healing and cavitation-free results.
You may have read about the importance of "removing the ligament" when extracting a tooth. We do that, and much more.
The biological protocol is what makes biological oral surgery different than regular oral surgery. In fact, it's a crucial component of the process. It's a combination of treatment techniques, treatment sequencing, and personal health. When applied carefully, healthy and optimal results are predictably achieved. Often, diet changes or supplements can make a dramatic difference. Your first consultation will make the biological protocol clear and easy so that you may enjoy great surgical outcomes for life-long health.
Metal-Free
From ceramic implants to porcelain inlays, a metal-free mouth is critical to overall health.
Metal leads to a long list of esoteric issues like brain-fog and EMF sensitivity by way of galvanism, generation of electromagnetic fields, and corrosion. In addition, metal blocks the flow of energy through teeth along the meridians, leaches into lymph and saliva, can cause "leaky gut," autoimmune issues, and compromise your detox pathways.
Where metal already exists, it should be removed safely using SMART. Achieving a metal-free mouth often leads to immediate and significant health benefits. It's an often-ignored but critical component to healthy, life-long wellness.
Healthy Teeth
Optimal dental health is a critical part of wellness, happiness, and beauty. For some, achieving and maintaining that excellent level of health comes easily and naturally. But, for others, it can sometimes seem difficult, expensive, or overwhelming. The truth is, it doesn’t have to be. We do it every day. We take something that seems daunting and create a clear, easy, and affordable plan of action. It’s actually simple. Here's how:
- Education: by empowering you with knowledge, you control your own dental destiny.
- Teamwork: by focusing on what’s best for YOU, you become the team leader.
- Science: we use techniques that are supported by science, not politics.
The two main dental problems we battle on a daily basis are cavities and gum disease. In this fight, there’s good news and bad news. The bad news is:
- 92% of adults (ages 20 to 64) have had cavities in their permanent teeth.
- 42% of children (ages 2 to 11) have had cavities in their baby teeth.
- 47-71% of adults have periodontal (gum) disease.
Although those numbers make dental disease sound nearly unavoidable, the truth is quite the opposite. The good news is: dental cavities and gum disease are completely avoidable! "Conventional" dentistry might accept the sad statistics above and simply treat them. But biological dentistry strives to correct them. These dental conditions can and MUST be reversed.
As someone who’s personal passion is health and knowledge, it’s my mission to provide the information and tools you need to achieve your health goals. That is what you can expect at your first appointment: a dentist generous with his time and interested in helping you. We think you’ll love it and come out smiling :) We look forward to meeting you and for the opportunity to help you start a very rewarding journey.
Healthy Body
It’s all connected. Health is one big circle — because inflammation in one location is inflammation everywhere. Toxins anywhere cause damage everywhere.
In the last 50 years or so, the drive behind dental technology has been great for advancing the field. From lasers to 3D printed crowns, wow! However, that drive can lead to an industry hindered by "tunnel-vision" and, dare I say, profits. As a result, the dramatic impact teeth can have on systemic health often gets overlooked.
It's true that in recent decades more attention has been given to the connection between gum disease and diabetes or heart disease. But, this awareness is superficial at best. Gum disease and cavities are a systemic problem. They are not just localized or compartmentalized. But this is how the industry has treated them. The truth is that they are a system-wide, whole health problem dependent on many factors such as nutrition and metabolism.
I believe it's due time for a biological / holistic revolution in dentistry and overall health. For example, the industry still claims amalgam (mercury) fillings are safe despite overwhelming and concrete evidence to the contrary. The industry promotes fluoride as a way to fight tooth decay. The entire idea that supports using fluoride is fundamentally flawed! It's time to go beyond what the industry promotes. It's time to use real science, not politics, to make decisions. With truthful information, the toxic aspects of conventional dentistry are revealed and can be avoided.
Holistic dentistry is not new. But there are only a handful in this country — outnumbered about 500 to 1 by conventional dentists. Luckily the trend is growing, albeit slowly.
In my life, my approach has always been holistic, and now my career focus is biological dentistry. Beyond family time, my remaining free time goes to learning and implementing techniques that make dentistry safer and healthier not only for you and all my patients, but for myself, my family, my staff, and the environment too. The techniques used in my office are science-based and proven. This is the defining hallmark of biological dentistry -- a science-backed, alternative, health-driven approach to dentistry and life. This is what dentistry should have been.
