Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services enhance your smile's brightness using advanced techniques. We offer in-office treatments and take-home kits for convenient, effective stain removal. Results last longer with proper maintenance.
Porcelain Veneers
Custom-crafted porcelain veneers correct cosmetic imperfections like chips, gaps, and discoloration. This durable solution provides natural-looking results that resist staining and blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
Dental Implants
Permanent dental implants replace missing teeth with artificial roots and crowns. This restoration mimics natural tooth function and appearance, preventing bone loss while restoring full chewing capability.
Root Canal Therapy
This procedure saves infected or damaged teeth by removing inflamed pulp tissue. Modern techniques ensure minimal discomfort while preserving your natural tooth structure for long-term oral health.
Pediatric Dentistry
Specialized dental services for children focus on preventive care, early orthodontic intervention, and creating positive dental experiences. We emphasize education to establish lifelong oral hygiene habits.

Mid city dentistry is top notch. They are a very inviting, professional an clean office. The waiting area is kid friendly and has many games in playroom to keep them occupied. It is in a safe neighborhood and the staff members are all very helpful. They explain procedures thoroughly and are kind to all the patients. I will definitely remain loyal after receiving superb treatment from Dr. Mita, Kay and Martha!

Avoid this place if you're considering it. I made an appointment and was sitting in the chair for an hour before the doctor saw me. The doctor did the cleaning herself and it was the worst cleaning I've ever had. She spent almost no time on my cleaning and instead tried to upsell me on a deep cleaning. Why would I pay for a deep cleaning when her standard cleaning was so bad? Do a decent cleaning and then I'll consider paying for a deep cleaning.
The dentist seems overbooked. The staff were very nice, but they all seemed to be afraid of the doctor. The doc must be a real tyrant when patients aren't around. I was angry when I left this place because they had me sitting for over an hour in the chair without working on me, and then when the doctor finally got to my cleaning it took less than five minutes.

Wonderful experience at Midcity Dentistry! Dr. Lat is an expert at her job and very kind. Fair prices compared to other dentists in the area, along with the latest technology in their equipment. No messing around with having to re-do x-rays like other places! Plus the camera they use let's you see exactly what's going on in your mouth which I found pretty tech savvy. Definite 5 star!

If you want a knowledgeable dentist, go visit Mid City Dentistry. Dr. Mita is very thorough and you never feel pressured to accept any procedures you are not comfortable with. The entire office staff will make you feel welcomed from the minute you walk in.
