Dr. Hamid Barkhordar, DDS, MMSc, leads the orthodontic side of care at Dentist of Long Beach. With Harvard specialty training and years of work spanning children, teens, and adults, his focus is straightforward. Listen to what the patient actually wants, then build the plan to get there. Orthodontics, in his own words, "allows a provider to achieve great esthetic and functional results."
Dr. Hamid handles a full range of orthodontic treatments at Dentist of Long Beach. From clear aligners that are nearly invisible to ceramic braces designed to blend with your natural smile, every option is matched to the patient sitting in front of him.
“I want my offices to set the example in each and every community we serve as the standard.”
Dr. Hamid's approach to orthodontic care has been shaped by years of working with patients of every age. Every plan at Dentist of Long Beach starts with a real conversation about what you want from your smile. Where the right call is Invisalign, he will say so. Where braces deliver a better result, he will say that too. The recommendation always fits the patient, not the marketing.
Dr. Hamid earned his dental degree at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry before completing his orthodontic specialty training at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. His Harvard orthodontic training shapes every treatment plan he creates at Dentist of Long Beach.
Dr. Hamid did not go into dentistry to run a business. He went into it to serve his community. That instinct still shapes how Dentist of Long Beach operates, from the fees the front desk quotes to the calls he makes in the chair.
Dr. Hamid runs Dentist of Long Beach the way he believes every office should run. The team is friendly and unhurried. The technology is modern. The conversations are honest. And the standards do not change between locations under his name.
What that looks like in practice:
Four years ago, a younger dentist joined the team at one of Dr. Hamid's offices. From day one, his energy and eagerness to learn stood out. He took continuing education courses, took on more complex cases, and built a community of patients who treat him like family. That story plays out across every office Dr. Hamid leads.
"His drive to learn pushed him to treat more complex cases," Dr. Hamid says of him. "Four years later, his patients consider him family." That is the kind of team Dr. Hamid hires for and builds at every practice.

Yes. Dr. Hamid treats orthodontic patients of every age, from children growing into their adult teeth through to adults who never had orthodontic care as kids or want a refresh later in life. His Harvard orthodontic training covers the full range.
Yes. Invisalign is one of the most requested treatments at Dentist of Long Beach, especially among adults and teens who want a more discreet option than traditional braces. Dr. Hamid will tell you straight whether Invisalign is the right choice for your specific alignment goals, or whether traditional or ceramic braces would deliver a better result.
Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires. Ceramic braces use tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend with your natural teeth, so they are far less visible while you wear them. Both work the same way mechanically. The choice usually comes down to appearance and budget. Dr. Hamid will walk you through both options at your consultation.
