USC School of Dentistry training (2001) layered onto a 1997 UCLA undergraduate microbiology and molecular genetics background credential Marina Shapiro DDS at the 3945 First Avenue Hillcrest 92103 office, established in 2006 under California NPI 1043263320. Orthodontic cases requiring bracket or aligner correction beyond limited general-practice scope route to Park View Orthodontics for the active treatment phase. The orofacial pain clinical background brings TMJ-disorder workups, occlusal analysis, and bite-splint fabrication into the chairside menu alongside general restorative care. Sleep-disordered breathing evaluations needing polysomnography refer to the UCSD Hillcrest Pulmonary and Sleep Research Laboratory before mandibular advancement device fabrication at the First Avenue office. The office runs the Zoom 2 in-office whitening protocol for accelerated single-visit color correction in roughly 45 minutes per appointment. Full-mouth occlusal rehabilitation combining TMJ splint therapy, sleep-apnea oral appliance fitting, and reconstructive crown work represents the highest-complexity sequencing scheduled at the First Avenue practice.
