Meet the Doctors

John Halmaghi, DDS, FAGD
With over 20 years of clinical experience I regard myself as a pioneer and a leader in the field of dentistry I was performing thousands of cosmetic procedures before we even “coined” the term Cosmetic dentistry. My conviction for remaining abreast of technological developments in dentistry is demonstrated through the accumulation of over ten times the national average of continuing education credits that Dentists normally maintain.

This dedication has helped me achieve my Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry, one of the highest awards in dentistry. My personal happiness and joy comes from the quality dentistry and pain treatments that I am able to perform for the thousands of patients who have been part of my family for two decades.

I am completely devoted to helping people realize their potential for a beautiful smile, as well as helping those who suffer from TMJ problems, Headaches/Migraines, and Sleep Apnea. Many patients come to me with complex problems and needs that they have been unable to find help for. I love to take on challenging cases and do whatever I can for any of my patients.
