Services
Preventive Dentistry
Our preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining optimal oral health through regular examinations and cleanings. We utilize advanced diagnostic tools to detect issues early, ensuring long-term dental wellness. This proactive approach helps patients avoid complex treatments while maintaining natural smiles.
Implant Dentistry
Implant dentistry offers permanent solutions for missing teeth with natural-looking results. Our team uses precision technology to place implants that function like natural teeth. This service restores both aesthetics and functionality while preventing bone loss in treated areas.
Dental Acupuncture
Dental acupuncture provides natural pain relief and anxiety reduction during treatments. This innovative technique complements traditional dentistry by improving patient comfort without medication. It's particularly effective for patients with dental phobias or sensitivity concerns.
Veneers
Veneers transform smiles by correcting discoloration, chips, and alignment issues with thin porcelain shells. Our custom-designed veneers match natural tooth structure while enhancing aesthetics. This minimally invasive procedure delivers dramatic results for confident, beautiful smiles.
White Composite Fillings
White composite fillings repair cavities with durable, aesthetically pleasing materials that match natural tooth color. These mercury-free restorations bond directly to tooth structure for enhanced strength. Patients benefit from discreet repairs that maintain smile aesthetics.

Hit my front teeth so hard with a metal instrument I can still feel it today. Not once but twice in the same visit. Did not seem focused to put it politely.

Dr. Kim Has been taking care of me for over 20 years and never disappoints. She also took care of my mom with tender care. I moved out of the Palisades about 8 years ago to Hancock Park and never thought once about changing dentists.

Dr. Emma and staff really care about you! They go the extra to care for their patients. I've witnessed this on many occasions, while waiting for my turn. For example, Dr. Emma and/or staff would walk the patient out to the car. You can tell there is a relationship with the patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Emma to everyone!
