A Whole-Health Approach to Dentistry

Dr. Yassamy’s care philosophy goes beyond teeth — as a certified provider in neuromuscular and functional dentistry, she evaluates how your teeth fit together, how your jaw joints (TMJ) function, how your facial muscles and posture influence your bite, and how airway health and sleep affect overall oral wellness.

This integrated approach helps us identify issues early, relieve tension and discomfort, and design treatments that support your entire oral system rather than isolated symptoms. If you experience chronic headaches, jaw pain, clenching, or poor sleep, Dr. Yassamy may also evaluate you for TMJ and neuromuscular therapy during your visit.

Patients Say

Our patients’ experiences tell our story best — from life-changing reconstructions to small moments of care that leave a lasting impact.

"When Dr. Goodreau told me he was retiring but said he had a wonderful dentist coming into the practice. I was very apprehensive in that I had been Larry’s patient for over 40 years.

Boy, was I wrong to be concerned! After two recent appointments with Dr. Yassamy, I found that I now have a very skilled dentist who is gentle and very caring. I couldn’t be happier to have Dr. Yassamy as my dentist and I look forward to future appointments with her."
BH
"It is Difficult to imagine a patient who could be more cautious, fearful and/or downright suspicious of dentists/dentistry than me. My basic premise is that everything involved is fundamentally barbaric.

While my doctor-patient relationship with Dr. Yassamy is new, I am surprisingly hopeful. The team (including Dr. Yassamy) actually is quite a hoot. Stayed tuned."
MS
"What else can I say? Thank you big time! I am so thankful to have you as my dentist! Thank you for always being so kind and caring! It’s really rare to find a dentist you trust and enjoy going to! I think you are one of the best! I will work on not drinking soda."
MC
"I have been going to Dr. Yassamy for the past year. Dr. Yassamy and her wonderful staff have been a blessing. They are very knowledgeable, professional and kind. I needed quite a bit of work done to my teeth including partial crowns, a crown replacement, and fillings. Dr. Yassamy’s work cannot be matched. Friends cannot tell which tooth has the crown. She is very informative and willing to spend time answering questions and educating the patient. Also, I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to dental work. It is on my list of top 5 things I hate to do. Dr. Yassamy and her staff were very understanding and did everything they could to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. I made it through all the procedures just fine! Thank you!"
