Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth with permanent, natural-looking solutions. Our specialists use advanced techniques to ensure secure placement and long-term functionality. Patients benefit from restored confidence in their smile and improved oral health through durable titanium-root replacements.
Root Canal Treatment
This procedure saves infected teeth by removing damaged pulp and sealing the interior. We use modern methods to ensure comfort during treatment, allowing patients to retain natural teeth and avoid extraction complications. Recovery typically involves minimal discomfort.
CEREC Technology
CEREC enables same-day crowns, veneers, and bridges through digital scanning and in-office milling. Patients avoid multiple visits while receiving precise, customized restorations. This technology reduces wait times and maintains high-quality dental solutions.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening treatments brighten smiles using safe, effective bleaching methods. We offer take-home trays for gradual lightening, addressing discoloration from food, drinks, or aging while protecting enamel integrity.
Emergency Services
Urgent dental care addresses sudden pain, broken teeth, or trauma with prompt treatment. Our team prioritizes same-day appointments for critical cases, providing immediate relief and preventing complications from untreated dental emergencies.

Most wonderful experience! I happen to have a great fear of going to the dentist due to past experiences, but as a new patient, Dr. Shahin and assistant Elisha made me feel I was in good hands. They were not only professional and diligent, they were also kind, warm and empathetic. They made me feel very comfortable, relaxed and respected me and my concerns. Both went above and beyond what one might expect. Also important, the facility is clean and modern and the administrative staff were warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend East End Dental.

Incredibly excellent experience. As a new patient, I was welcomed with warmth. Top rate facility and equipment; staff were the perfect mix of easygoing and professional. Insurance connections were easily made. Dr. Hanrahan was fantastic, performing a procedure easily and comfortably in no time at all. I'm planning on being a lifelong client now.

Professional, friendly, and really knowledgeable! The dentist went above and beyond and even checked my neck area which I've never had a dentist do. Very thorough, couldn't be happier!

I wish I could give them more than five stars. My best experience in a dental office. I have visited East End Dental over the past four years. I was fortunate to find them. Dr. Nasim is the best dentist I met in my entire life. He is a professional, knowledgeable, and very kind person. They have the latest equipment and technology in their office. I highly recommend them.

I had an extraction done here and was terrified, the staff was absolutely amazing about comforting me and making sure I was okay and not feeling any pain. They explained each step of the process and were just wonderful in general. Im a big baby when it comes to dental work and I was so grateful for them being so understanding with me. Highly recommend this place!
