WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Testimonials
This dentist is the best I've been to. All of the staff are very helpful and involved in your needs. It's nice to see people that take their job seriously. I came in for an X-ray and cleaning, and after a detailed checkup I decided to get treatment here as well. I had six cavities filled and a deep cleaning, which helped with my gum recession. The prices are affordable and if you need major work, they will work out a payment plan. I am satisfied and will keep recommending Smile Boutique and coming back to Dr. Borzoo. Thank you!

The quality of care and service you will receive from the staff at Smile Boutique is priceless. Like any major procedure, the process of getting veneers was unknown to me. Upon reviewing different cosmetic dentists, I was convinced to proceed with Smile Boutique because of the reviews and quality of work they presented on their site; this was the best decision I made.
From the beginning, the receptionist team answered the majority of my questions and invited me offer for a free consultation.

I had 4 wisdom teeth removed recently and it was a painless experience thanks to Smile Boutique. Thank you Dr. Fukui for your awesome work. Although a dentist trip is not a good time, they made it as effortless as possible for me. The surgery went smoothly and I was sedated the whole time. I recovered very quickly, much better then expected. My teeth don't hurt anymore, the crowding in my jaw is gone. No more discomfort or pain. I trust these doctors and will be coming back here in the future.

What is
TMJ?
“TMJ” is an acronym for temporomandibular joint, that is to say, the jaw joint. The temporomandibular joints are the joints in front of the ears attaching the lower jaw to the skull. They are essential to daily jaw functions such as opening and closing your mouth, chewing and speaking.
What Are
TMJ Disorders?
TMJ disorders refer to conditions, manifested by pain in the area of the jaw and jaw muscles and limitations in the ability of the jaw to operate normally while speaking, eating, and swallowing.
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research of the National Institutes of Health states that 10.8 million people in the USA suffer from TMJ problems. 90% of those seeking treatment for TMJ are women during their childbearing years.
What Causes
TMJ Disorders?
Medical research has not yet defined all the causes of the various TMJ disorders. Some patients report having TMJ symptoms following trauma, dental treatment, traffic accidents, trauma, or following the adoption of habits such as clenching or grinding the teeth. Arthritis in other parts of the body is sometimes linked to TMJ pain.
