Dr. Alon Ofir, DDS, Downey, CA | Orthodontist

About Dr. Alon Ofir

As a child, I feared going to the dentist. As I grew up, I realized I could not let that fear prevent me from taking care of my smile and becoming the best person I can be. The satisfaction of caring for my own smile inspired me to become an orthodontist. I understand the important role a healthy and beautiful smile plays in one's life and believe no one should let fear, time constraints, or financial concerns stop them from achieving their smile dreams. Orthodontics is a unique field. Each patient is different: I cannot just treat their oral cavity and teeth, but must care for the whole person. I must get to know my patient as well as possible before putting together their treatment plan. The person's social life, age, motivation, dental care awareness, commitment to treatment, and overall health are just a few of the factors I consider before designing their orthodontic care approach. This process is a challenge that keeps me engaged and excited, and also an opportunity to connect with the person and build a relationship. I treasure both. I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from NYU College of Dentistry, completed a Residency in General Practice at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and received a Certificate in Orthodontics from Columbia University.
