Need a conveniently located Tarzana Invisalign provider: Dr. Garo will give you a complete dental exam to determine if this orthodontic method is right for you.

You can afford it: Dr. Garo offers flexible payment plans, including CareCredit, so you can make Invisalign a reality for you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I never ever leave reviews but I had to for Dr. Ourafalian and the group here. If i can give infinite stars I would. Jessica and Vickie are the sweetest, they ALWAYS have a smile on their face which tells you a lot about this office. The hygienist is the best Ive been to and so informative about everything. Dr Ourafalian is the nicest person Ive ever met. They do the best work Ive gotten done and are so kind generous with the cost. I recently moved 45 mins away from here and i still wont change my dentist to anyone else. If i had to drive 2 hours just to come to here I still would, thats how amazing they are. I recommend all my friends and family here. Most trusted dentist who only cares about the patient and whats best for them. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
