Meet Dr. Ray Besharati
Helping People through Gentle Dentistry
I'm Dr. Ray Besharati, and my mission is to deliver honest, compassionate dental care that empowers my patients and enhances their lives. Dentistry is more than treating teeth; it's about genuinely connecting with people, improving their health, and boosting their confidence through gentle, personalized care. I believe every patient deserves transparency and respect—honesty is the cornerstone of every conversation and treatment I provide.
Throughout my career, I've transformed countless smiles, alleviating pain, restoring function, and creating newfound self-confidence. But my work goes beyond the dental chair: I'm equally passionate about sharing knowledge. My commitment to excellence drives me to constantly expand my skills through advanced education, ensuring my patients receive state-of-the-art treatment.
My greatest fulfillment comes from partnering with my patients and empowering them through education and preventive care. I deeply value building relationships that promote lasting oral health and overall well-being.
My staff and I work diligently to build true partnerships with patients. We believe lasting change in oral health comes through patient participation, supported by education, preventive care, encouragement, and understanding.
My Team
My team is more than just staff—we are family. Chosen for their shared values of honesty, compassion, and dedication to excellence, our team fosters a caring, down-to-earth environment. We ensure your dental visits are comfortable, supportive, and enjoyable.
Education and Continuing Education
I earned a Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the prestigious Tufts University School of Dentistry in Boston. I firmly believe in continuing education, which involves constantly expanding my skills and knowledge.
I have completed hundreds of hours of continuing general dentistry and aesthetics education, including courses with Pankey Institute in Florida. I finished my graduate certificate in oral pathology and oral radiology from USC. I also enrolled in three years of Master of Science in Oral Medicine and TMJ Disorder at USC, which will grant me an MS in TMJ and oral disease. I recently published my first book, Concise Guide to Clinical Dentistry, an upcoming series.
I am an Editorial Board Member at the Scientific Archives of Dental Sciences.
I have always wanted to make dentistry safer, faster, and more effective. Combining my experience with innovative dental technologies, we developed breakthrough professional techniques, sleek, sophisticated, at-home consumer, and professional teeth whitening treatments. Our brand, Raviance™ Teeth Whitening System, is a trademarked system as an FDA-registered device for teeth whitening. With this system, you can achieve professional whitening in the comfort of your home. This system uses the same technology that dentists use in the office.
Oral healthcare is an evolving field. New technologies, materials, and techniques all mean a better treatment experience and more robust results for my patients. By completing continuing education courses and attending lectures, seminars, and meetings, I ensure I remain at the cutting edge of dentistry.
Life Beyond Dentistry
Outside the practice, I embrace an active and creative lifestyle. You might find me biking, running, practicing yoga, or honing my skills in Tae Kwon Do, where I hold a black belt. My artistic side is nurtured through woodworking and photography, allowing me to creatively explore and appreciate life's beauty. In 2024, I also began a four-year Certificate in Fine Art Photography at Photography Center Northwest, further deepening my passion and skill in visual arts. I'm also an avid audiophile passionate about vinyl records, continuously discovering unique music to enrich my time.
In all areas of my life—personal and professional—I strive to embody integrity, excellence, and a deep sense of community.
