Dr. Katayoon Shafagh

Meet Our Orthodontist

Dr. Katayoon Shafagh

Dr. Kathy Shafagh began her orthodontist practice in 1993. After treating thousands of patients with traditional braces and witnessing certain discomfort associated with them, Dr. Shafagh began experimenting and using Invisalign on certain patients. The results were astonishing, and the process was far more comfortable. Patients who previously required braces could now see the same results with Invisalign in even less time. Seeing how much more pleasant the experiences of these patients became, Dr. Shafagh set out to create the first Invisalign-only office in the nation.

Where to begin! I have terrible anxiety when it comes to anything regarding my mouth so naturally I was quite anxious when I arrived. Marco the magnificent put me at ease right away. He treated me like a human being: like a person person, not just a patient. Care like that shouldn’t be rare but sadly that’s the reality these days.

The entire office had this air of levity and kindness. You can tell, right away, that the people working there love what they do and enjoy working together. The Dr. (I’ve forgotten his name) , Marco, and Sonia were patient with my many questions, and I didn’t get the sense that they were trying to shuffle me out of the door.

I don’t think I’m the only one on the planet who has avoided dental work due to anxiety. I feel blessed to have found Dr. Kathy and the team at 1st dental. I now have a dental team that I look forward to seeing again and that’s something I never thought I’d ever say.

Thank you, everyone!

Great experience with starting Invisalign. Scans were done and brackets installed on two separate visits, neither one longer than one hour. In and out of the office super fast. The aligners fit perfectly and the tech, Oscar, was extremely professional and gave me very good information to take care of the set and make sure the process is effective. It was a comfortable process too, no pain. Highly recommend 1st Choice Dental. I have been a regular dental patient for several years now and have never had a bad experience, even though I used to be very nervous about getting dental work done.

This is my first time here at 1st choice dental in north hollywood! love love love Tim who deep cleaned my teeth, and also Dr. Kathy Shafagh who straightened my teeth using Invisalign, they truly care about your teeth and well being. Everyone are so nice, courteous and respectful with all your needs. Oscar has taken good care of me during my Invisalign days since 2021! And I’m finally done (March 2023), yay! They explain everything very well. Both dental offices, one in Studio City for Invisalign and the North Hollywood place for all other dental needs are just so clean and pristine and modern. I’m so happy here and I encourage everyone (if you’re not happy with your current dentist), to check out Dr. Kathy Shafagh’s dental clinics in Studio City and North Hollywood, she is honestly the best! Thank you!

1st Choice Dental is one of the best orthodontists they are in CA. The professionalism depicted at what appeared small yet big space makes the patients who walk in as strangers leave as family. The staff are so polite and friendly. They create a payment plan that suits every circumstance and preference. The cleanliness is top notch by all measure......
