Services
General Dentistry
Our general dentistry services focus on preventive care and early detection of dental issues. We provide comprehensive examinations, professional cleanings, and personalized oral hygiene guidance. Our approach combines traditional techniques with modern technology to maintain optimal oral health for patients of all ages.
Cosmetic Dentistry
We offer various cosmetic treatments to improve your smile's appearance. Services include veneers, teeth whitening, and bonding procedures. Our team creates customized treatment plans to address discoloration, misalignment, and other aesthetic concerns while maintaining dental functionality and health.
Invisalign Braces
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using virtually invisible aligners. We provide custom-fitted trays that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. This option offers comfort and convenience compared to traditional metal braces, with removable trays for eating and cleaning.
Periodontal Care
Our periodontal services address gum disease and supporting structures. We offer scaling and root planing, pocket reduction treatments, and maintenance programs. Early intervention helps prevent tooth loss and maintains overall oral health through specialized gum disease management.
Dental Crowns
Crowns restore damaged or weakened teeth with durable, natural-looking coverage. We use porcelain-fused-to-metal and all-ceramic materials for strength and aesthetics. These restorations protect compromised teeth while improving their shape, size, and appearance for functional and cosmetic benefits.

Love Dr. Takamatsu, but may have to find someone else because it's impossible to reschedule an appointment for a cleaning. I try not to have to reschedule, but sometimes emergencies come, especially with our current "new normal" pandemic life. I had to reschedule an appointment in December. I asked to be on the list if ever there was a cancelation. I never received a call and now I had to reschedule in August, almost a year later, a year and a half since my last cleaning! So sad that I might have to find a new dentist.

Dr. Takamatsu and his staff are outstanding. They are professional, kind and competent. I trust Dr. Takamatsu's advice. He didn't try to push braces on my sin unnecessarily. The staff was helpful and patient during some insurance changes. I highly recommend him to others and will continue to do so!

I had been searching for a new dentist office for a while and I finally found the one! Such a great experience. Professional every step of the way. Doctor, dental assistant and dental hygienist were all very thorough and I never felt rushed and Judy at the front desk was so nice and went above and beyond to accommodate my scheduling issues. Great team in that office!

I have happily been a patient of Dr. Takamatsu for over a decade. Highly professional, only recommends major work when truly necessary and takes into account each patient's each unique situation when performing any procedure. He is aware that I need more than the usual amount of novacaine for a patient my age and weight. I feel much more at ease under his care as he does not want me to experience any pain, nor do I want to feel it.
I can relax more when in his chair, as opposed to any other dentist I've had previously. As long as I Iive in S. California, both my wife and I will only see Dr. Takamatsu for all our dental needs. You can't go wrong under his care.

Dr. Takamatsu has been our family dentist for most if my life. During my first cavity filling before providing me my first novacaine shot, he patiently answered all of my many questions.over and over again. Until he realized I was just stalling. He has a huge heart, along with skill hands. Everything you're looking for from a dentist.
