“I am so fortunate to be an Orthodontist and create beautiful smiles for a living. As a teenager, I was always self-conscious and would never smile due to my crooked teeth but undergoing the process of getting braces was absolutely life-changing. The transformation of myself-image and confidence was undeniable and so, it ultimately led me to a career in orthodontics. I wanted to make the same impact for others as my orthodontist made for me! Now, I am committed to providing a healthy, beautiful, and positive experience for my patients that is bound to last a lifetime.”

THE FACTS
Dr. Partamian – or “Dr. Raffi”, as patients like to call him, has been practicing orthodontics since 2013. He received his Bachelors of Science from California State University, Northridge (CSUN) and completed his dental training at the prestigious University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Dr. Partamian’s post-graduate studies continued with a three-year postdoctoral program for the Advanced Education in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at Roseman University of Health Sciences in Henderson, Nevada.
Dr. Partamian keeps current with the latest technologies which include, digital radiography, photography, computerized treatment planning, 3D scanning of teeth (which eliminated the need for messy impressions), and 3D printing technology, allowing him to make in-house, clear aligners and retainers. Dr. Partamian stayed up-to-date with the latest in orthodontics by regularly attending continuing education courses and remains active in national, regional, and local professional organizations including the American Dental Association (ADA), the American Association of Orthodontics (AAO), and the California Dental Association (CDA).
