When Amir Ghorbani, DDS isn’t fixing teeth, he’s fixing cars. An avid classic car enthusiast, Dr. Ghorbani can often be found under the hood of an American classic from a bygone era. Recently, Dr. Ghorbani began to restore another aspect of a bygone era – dental house calls.
Dr. Ghorbani is Co-Founder and Primary Care Dentist of Home Care Dentist (http://homecaredentist.com), a Bay Area provider of in-home dentistry. Home Care Dentist visits private residences, senior communities and companies and provides a range of dental services with advanced portable equipment.
“When we launched the service, I hoped we could serve as an important resource for those with mobility or transportation concerns, primarily the elderly population. Those visits have certainly been the most rewarding,” shares Dr. Ghorbani.
“What has surprised me is just how many people call Home Care Dentist for the sake of convenience or comfort. We have busy professionals or younger patients who simply prefer to avoid the traditional dental office, in some cases due to phobia,” Dr. Ghorbani continued, “Whatever is motivating people to call, we are thrilled to be providing preventative care for those who may otherwise have gone extended periods of time without proper oral healthcare.”
While it may seem that the type of dental treatment one can receive outside a dental office must be limited, the reality is that the portable equipment Home Care Dentist uses can provide almost every treatment that a traditional dental office can.
“We do everything from basic oral hygiene visits to crowns and bridges. Everyone is amazed that a few metal boxes can transform into a full-service dental office right before their eyes, complete with x-rays and suction,” says Dr. Ghorbani.
Dr. Ghorbani and his team see an opportunity to provide this service to a broader community outside the San Francisco Bay Area in the near future. They have plans to partner with local dentists to offer their in-home dental care throughout California and beyond.
