Meet
Dr. Vartanian
Over 25 years as a TMJ specialist in Newport Beach — guided by mastery, driven by care, and backed by credentials that fewer than 1% of dentists hold.
A Career Built on
Precision & Trust
Dr. John N. Vartanian founded Newport Institute for Dentistry in 1998 with a clear mission: deliver the highest caliber of dental care with a focus on TMJ disorders, bite function, and facial pain — conditions that most dental practices treat as an afterthought.
Over more than 25 years, that focus has never wavered. Dr. Vartanian has earned the Master of the Academy of General Dentistry (MAGD) — a credential held by fewer than 1% of dentists nationwide. The MAGD requires over 1,100 hours of continuing education across all disciplines plus rigorous examination — reflecting a depth and breadth of knowledge that uniquely qualifies him to treat complex TMJ cases.
His expertise in therapeutic Botox for jaw pain combines decades of understanding facial anatomy with precise injection technique. When administered by Dr. Vartanian, Botox isn't just cosmetic — it's a precision medical treatment informed by complete knowledge of your jaw joints, bite mechanics, and muscle function.
Every patient sees Dr. Vartanian personally. Every procedure is performed by him — start to finish. There are no handoffs, no rushed appointments, and no unnecessary treatments. Just honest, expert care from a specialist who has dedicated his career to resolving jaw pain and restoring comfort.
