What to expectDental care
Choose what you need. Not sure which it is? Ask, and we will point you the right way.
A thorough look, a gentle cleaning, and a plain-language rundown of what we found.
We look at your teeth and gums, take x-rays only when they are actually needed, clean away what brushing cannot reach, and walk you through what we saw. If nothing needs doing, we say so.
Book a visitTooth-coloured fillings and crowns that restore the tooth and blend in.
The aim is to save as much of the tooth as we can and make it strong again. We show you the tooth and explain both options where both apply.
Book a visitProfessional whitening, supervised by the dentist, without the guesswork of kits.
Done in the practice, whitening is more even than an over-the-counter kit, and sensitivity is managed rather than endured. Ask us what to expect for your teeth.
Book a visitStraighter teeth with clear, removable aligners instead of fixed braces.
Aligners move teeth gradually with thin, nearly invisible trays you take out to eat and brush. A consultation tells you whether they are right for you and what the treatment would involve.
Book a visitA fixed replacement for a missing tooth that looks and works like your own.
An implant replaces a missing tooth from the root up. It is not right for everyone, so it starts with an assessment of your gums and bone and a conversation about the options.
Book a visitA broken tooth, a lost filling, swelling or pain that will not wait: call first.
We tell you what to do right now, whether it can wait, and how soon we can see you. If you are in severe pain or have swelling that is spreading, say so when you call.
Book a visitWe show you what we see, explain it in plain words, and recommend the smallest thing that will last.

We listen first, then look. X-rays only when they change the plan, a gentle cleaning if you are due, and every finding shown on the screen.

What we recommend, what can wait, and what it would cost.
What you can count on
Numbing that works before we start, breaks when you need them, and a hand signal that means stop.
Every finding shown on the screen and explained in plain language, with the reasons behind it.
A written estimate before any treatment, and help understanding what your insurance is likely to cover.
If it can wait, we say so. If something simpler will last, we recommend that.
Who we look after
New patients
Your history, your concerns, and a plan in plain language before anything is booked.
Families
Short, unhurried and mostly about getting comfortable in the chair.
Nervous patients
We explain each step, stop when you raise a hand, and never rush you.
Questions
If yours is not here, just ask. There is no such thing as a silly question.
Still wondering?Talk it through with a person.
(323) 991-9865Yes. Book online or call, and tell us it is your first visit so we can plan a little extra time for the conversation and the exam.
Call and tell us your plan, and we will tell you what to expect before your visit. We would rather check than list plans here and be wrong.
Tell us when you book. We explain each step before it happens, agree a hand signal that means stop, and go at your pace.
Families are welcome. Tell us your child’s age when you book and we plan a first visit that is short, easy and mostly about getting comfortable in the chair.
Your insurance card if you have one, a list of any medications, and any questions. If you have recent x-rays from another dentist, we can request them.
