Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Our experienced oral surgeons use advanced techniques to restore confidence in eating, speaking, and smiling while preventing facial bone deterioration. This treatment option offers long-term durability and aesthetic perfection for missing or severely damaged teeth.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using custom-made, removable clear aligners without traditional brackets or wires. Our orthodontists create personalized treatment plans that allow patients to maintain normal eating and oral hygiene habits while achieving beautiful smiles. This discreet option works best for adults seeking subtle orthodontic correction.
Children's Dentistry
Our child-friendly dental practice offers comprehensive preventive and restorative care for young patients. We specialize in gentle cleanings, fluoride treatments, and early orthodontic intervention using the latest equipment. Our team focuses on creating positive dental experiences while addressing developmental concerns through interceptive treatments that prevent future complications.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry services transform smiles through teeth whitening, veneers, and restorative treatments. Our dentists create natural-looking results using porcelain crowns, Lumineers, and professional whitening systems. We offer financing options to make smile makeovers accessible while combining artistry with dental science for lasting aesthetic improvements.
Braces
Orthodontic treatments correct misaligned teeth using traditional metal braces, clear braces, and Invisalign systems. Our specialists develop customized treatment plans that address individual bite issues and aesthetic goals. We utilize modern techniques that reduce discomfort, shorten treatment times, and offer multiple options to suit different patient preferences and budgets.

If you are getting braces don't get them here I saw the orthodontist and he said need jaw surgery and I got 3 other opinions and they all said all I need is an expander. They are trying to take all your money.

We paid the full braces treatment for my brother and when they shut down for covid he missed some appts. They reimbursed him just 2 treatments then said that he needed to pay $145 monthly for 6-9 more months and that if we don't want to continue treatment that we look for somewhere else to remove the braces because they dont want to be liable. Dont ever come here unless you want to be scammed out of so much more money.

This Dental office has an advertisement for new patients first visit $49 on their exterior. I called and asked about it and they confirmed that indeed it was $49 so I made an appointment for my 2 year old son, my wife, and I. Upon arrival they asked for payment up front. They stated that for my son it was $115 because children are harder to deal with to perform x-rays on. My son went in and cooperated with them making his visit literally no more than 15 minutes total.
The dentist looked at his teeth for about 2 minutes and rinsed his mouth with fluoride. That was it. So I was still confused as to why it was $115? I asked the so called "office manager" if it was possible to get a discount because of how smooth it went and she said no. that the dentist who saw my son was a "specialist"? I thought every dentist Is considered a specialist. This is really false advertising and sad that they would charge $115 for the most easiest 15 minute appointment of their day. Taking advantage of people and lying to make easy money is the worst you could do. Definitely taking this up with the California Board of Dental.

Dr. Kim is awesome! I hate the dentist but he's so funny and tries to distract you that I'm able to sit in the chair long enough to get my work done! He did a great job of making sure I'm numb enough. My mom indeed up switching dentists too after my experience and I can confidently say I've found my dentist!
