Services
Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup to prevent cavities and gum disease. Our hygienists use advanced tools for thorough yet gentle care. Regular cleanings every six months help maintain optimal oral health and detect early signs of dental issues.
Orthodontics
We offer traditional braces and clear aligners to correct misaligned teeth and improve bite function. Treatment plans address crowding, spacing, and jaw alignment issues. Our orthodontists create customized solutions for both children and adults seeking improved dental aesthetics.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services use safe, effective products to remove stains and brighten smiles. Options include in-office Zoom! treatments and take-home kits. Results typically last one to five years with proper maintenance.
Dental Implants
Implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that mimic natural teeth. The process involves surgical placement of titanium posts followed by crown attachment. This option preserves jawbone density and offers long-term durability for missing teeth restoration.
Emergency Dentistry
Our emergency dental services address urgent issues like broken teeth, infections, and severe pain. We prioritize same-day appointments for trauma cases. Treatments stabilize conditions and prevent complications while providing immediate pain relief.

This place is HORRIBLE. I wouldn't suggest this place to my worst enemy. They are constantly changing prices and trying to upsell without focusing on the patients needs. I was a loyal patient for 3 years but I could NO LONGER take the blatant racism. They would call multiple times daily asking about upcoming visits I never scheduled. They are extremely unorganized. I received random balances which I questioned every time. Y'all need to let patients know if they owe anything BEFORE leaving. Telling them on the next visit that insurance didn't cover a cleaning (which is a flat out lie) is inconvenient and stressful.
I used one of the credit cards that the fat financial woman assisted me with while applying. All of a sudden there was no memory of assisting me and basically called me a liar. I've actually spoken to my lawyer and I will be suing. AVOID THIS RACIST PLACE AT ALL COSTS!

Don't go there. Front desk is rude. I'm asking question and the girl is not answering them. I'm just a concern patient I need answers to have a piece of mind also to coordinate my schedule to make time for my procedures. She doesn't help much. Rude. Unprofessional. She will easily hang up on you. Go to a better place after all. They are well established. They don't need our money, I guess or so it seems.

My appointment was at 9:30am I did not get seen until 12:30pm. And the dentist is money hungry and told me he can't take my tooth out unless I get a bone graph which was $650. I can't afford a bone graph. I am unemployed due to getting covid 2 times. It wasn't right at all. I have never had a dentist tell me this before. It should be up to the patient if we want a bone graph or not we are going to be the ones that have shifting teeth.
My medi cal was going to pay for the extraction. And so now since they refused to pull my tooth because of them trying to force me to get a bone graph. I still have to walk around with all this Infection in my mouth until I find another dentist to pull my tooth.this is not right and sad that dentist are money hungry

I have been going here for years and today was the last straw. I made a cleaning appointment last week for the 11th and 4pm. They sent me text reminders and everything and when they called to remind me for my daughters, I confirmed my appointment and they said it was at 2, which I could t make. So I moved it to the next day, a little annoyed but no biggie. Then today I go and the dentist seemed very annoyed with me.
He had a hair on his finger so I pulled away and told him and he seemed even more annoyed, and he didn't even change his gloves after getting it off. Then he rudely told me to breathe out of my nose. Then he just left and sent someone over to try to buckle and dime me for everything, and refused to do the cleaning because they wanted to upsell a different kind of cleaning not covered by insurance. That was the last straw, I'm switching my insurance and going somewhere that values their patients.

The front desk girls were super nice but I feel like you guys push unnecessary uncovered services. (Some kind of irrigation for $150) Your dentist just went through a spiel. Didn't listen, didn't ask questions. I've never had my polishing before the scraping/cleaning. seemed kind of odd. All in all probably one of my worst dental check up experiences. Not to mention the first time I was there I was never seen for my 1 o'clock appointment as I had to go back to work after waiting in the lobby for an hour and a half.
You guys were my first dental experience after moving from the westside and starting a new job. Definitely will continue my hunt for a new dentist in the city or maybe drive back to Culver City for my old one. Pay attention to the reviews they all say the same thing. Buyer beware
