Dr.
Allen Nazeri likes to say that a
smile is the light in the window of the soul, and he’s made it his mission to fill
the Coachella Valley with the lightof many
smiles.
“Our
primary focus is our patients,” Dr. Nazeri explains.
“Our practice is not about the quantity
of patients seen on any given day, but rather the quality, individual care, and
attention to detail given to each and every patient every day.
Cornerstone dentistry is committed to
providing you with the smile of a lifetime.” Dr.
Nazeri considers dentistry both an art and a science, especially as new
technologies and procedures develop.
“We’re providing more patients with
full-mouth reconstruction and rehabilitation,” says Dr. Nazeri.
“This process treats the entire mouth as a whole and, generally
speaking, it’s performed for a combination of cosmetic and functional reasons.”
Jerry Senescu presents a
classic example of a Cornerstone patient who couldn’t be more delighted with
the care and service he received. For Senescu, finding a dentist whom he could
trust was a quest. He interviewed at least 10 dentists between Moreno Valley
and La Quinta, paying exorbitant fees for X-rays and consultations, before he
discovered Dr.
Nazeri.
“He was a gentleman,” says
Senescu, describing their initial consultation. “He was the only doctor, of all
those I met, who really explained my current situation. He said we both knew I
needed a lot of work, there were a variety of treatments available, and he
didn’t want to waste my time… he was very honest. He really focuses on making your mouth
look beautiful while at the same time respecting other issues, like your health
and your budget.”
The
Cornerstone difference is apparent the moment you step through the doors. The
reception area looks more like a private, luxurious living room than the
standard, sterile doctor’s office. Massively comfortable, overstuffed chairs
and sofas; bookshelves and candles; artwork and collectibles; a crystal
chandelier — it’s a rich and magical space that immediately makes visitors feel
welcome.
The
Cornerstone staff is friendly, competent, and patient. Most importantly, they
truly take a personal interest in their
restorative care, endodontic care, oral
surgery, cosmetic services, full-mouth rehabilitation, and prosthodontics, as
well as sports dentistry and emergency care. Care and procedures are decided
upon between the doctor and patient after an initial consultation that can last
from one to three hours.
Gordon
Kelly raves about his experience at Cornerstone Dentistry, which included full-mouth
restoration and upper and lower crowns.
“What amazed me was that Dr. Nazeri did it all in two
visits. Any other dentist would have been at least 15 visits, and that would be
a nightmare,” says Kelly. “And the teeth I have now are identical to the
originals. He replicated them so perfectly that nothing looks phony. They look
natural,but whiter and with no decay.”
patients. They know their patients by
name, they know their stories, their needs; and they treat them with great,
ongoing concern.
“Everyone here is so
pleasant,” says Violet Dobbins, who has also undergone a full-mouth
reconstruction with
implants. “I went to six different
dentists before I came to Dr.
Nazeri, and I’ve been so happy with my experience here.”
Service extends to a
complimentary meal delivery on the day of major procedures and a personal phone
call from the doctor to ensure the comfort and well-being of his patients.
“Sandy, Dr.
Nazeri’s director of patient services at Cornerstone Dentistry, handed me a
menu and said, ‘Pick a meal for you and your wife. The day you have your
surgery we’re going to buy you dinner,’” recalls Senescu. “And sure enough when
we came home that night, there was a knock on the door, and there stood a young
man delivering our dinner. And then about 7:30, Dr. Nazeri called, just to
check up on me and see how I was doing.”
Dr. Nazeri
sounds like a friendly, small-town doctor faithfully making his rounds, but
he’s also a world-class dentist who has trained at some of the most prestigious
dental and medical schools in the nation. Dr. Nazeri has held annual faculty
appointments at both UCLA and USC schools of dentistry. Dr. Nazeri has also
been chief executive officer of Nulook Dental Imaging, a consulting
organization, and chief executive officer of the Northwest Institute of
Cosmetic Dentistry.
Throughout nearly 20 years
of private practice, Dr. Nazeri has also volunteered his services in Third
World countries, including service with the Red Cross in Turkey following the
earthquake of 1999.
Dr. Nazeri is among the few
dentists in the United States who has worked and trained with renowned cosmetic
dentist Dr. Bill Dickerson, who is founder and CEO of the elite
Las Vegas Institute, and Dr. Nazeri is among
the few dentists worldwide who routinely performs clinical procedures using a
dental microscope — greatly enhancing the outcome
of procedures.
Cornerstone Dentistry
provides a full range of services, including drill-less laser dentistry,
periodontal care,
It’s not
just about the teeth, of course. Kelly, like all of Dr. Nazeri’s patients, was
thrilled with the immaculate, attractive setting and the sincere concern and
efficiency of the staff.
“Anyone who has a need for
cosmetic dentistry, or any kind of dentistry,” says Kelly “should go to
Cornerstone. This is not a commercial I’m running here. I’m just so delighted
with the work and the people that I would recommend them to anyone.” n
