With regular check ups, Dr Emmy will search for signs of dental disease (like cavities and gingivitis) but can also search for risk factors which may lead to dental disease. Preventive dentistry is key to long term oral health. Regular dental visits, x-rays, sealants, cleanings, fluoride, diet, protecting teeth from injury, and home oral hygiene are all integral in preventing more costly dental problems.
Scaling and root planing: While a regular dental cleaning is for the visible portion of teeth, scaling and root planing is a special cleaning that removes plaque and tartar (also known as calculus) from under the gumline (in periodontal pockets) and smoothes the root surfaces to promote healing. A scaling procedure is the only way to remove calculus from this area. Periodontal maintenance/supportive periodontal therapy: Following a scaling and root planing, specialized deep cleanings can minimize the recurrence or progression of gum disease.
Dental treatment for a broken tooth depends on the severity of the break. A tooth colored filling is used to fix breaks to the outer part of the tooth (the enamel). A dental filling may also be used for a more serious break involving the enamel and inner layer of the tooth (dentin), but often a dental crown is necessary in these cases.
We will conduct a complete oral examination to determine the location and cause of the toothache, looking for signs of swelling, redness and obvious tooth damage. We may also take x-rays to look for evidence of tooth decay between teeth, a cracked or impacted tooth or a disorder of the underlying bone.
We may prescribe pain medication or antibiotics to speed the healing of your toothache. If by the time you see us , your tooth has become infected, then treatment could require removal of the tooth or a root canal procedure, which involves removing the damaged nerve tissue from the middle of thetooth.
Dental cone beam computed tomography (CT) is a special type of x-ray machine used in situations where regular dental or facial x-rays are not sufficient. This type of CT scanner uses a special type of technology to generate three dimensional (3-D) images of dental structures, soft tissues, nerve paths and bone in the craniofacial region in a single scan. Images obtained with cone beam CT allow for more precise treatment planning.
Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth.Crowns are typically used to restore a tooths function and appearance following a restorative procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a tooth has become so advanced that large portions of the tooth must be removed,crowns are often used to restore the tooth.
Bridges are natural-looking dental appliances that can replace a section of missing teeth. Because they are custom-made, bridges are barely noticeable and can restore the natural contour of teeth as well as the proper bite relationship between upper and lower teeth.
Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain or plastic cemented over the front of your teeth to change their color or shape. Veneers are used on teeth with uneven surfaces or are chipped, discolored, oddly shaped, unevenly spaced or crooked. Little or no anesthesia is needed. Veneers have a longer life expectancy and color stability than bonding, and highly resist permanent staining from coffee, teaor even cigarette smoking.
Teeth whitening may be all you need to reclaim the younger, brighter smile you have been dreaming about. Always a popular cosmetic treatment, teeth bleaching has become faster, safer, and more effective than ever before.
Dental implants are really changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. Patients with dental implants can smile with confidence.
For missing teeth, we provide dentures and partials to give you the best fit, cosmetic result, function, and speech.A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and adjacent tissues. It is made of acrylic resin, sometimes in combination with various metals.

Let me be honest here guys.. I've lived in the US for about 7 years as a student and i always feared going to a dentist especially in this country. Well at least until i went to Lumina dental and got to know Dr Emmy and her team.. This place and people in it became my family in the US. I always felt excited for my next appointment because these people really do care for you, nicest people on earth. When it comes to Dr Emmy's dental knowledge, I don't even bother visiting a dentist in my home country (in Europe). The second i open my mouth, Dr Emmy knows right away what needs to be done, and she makes it super easy with her light hands. She explains to you very carefully what needs to be fixed and how, so you feel comfortable about everything she does. Forget about the people i know, even the people i don't know have been giving me complements on my teeth and my smile. And i finally smile confidently.. All because thanks to Dr Emmy and to her hardworking team, my family in the USA

I've had so many dentists over the years, and Dr. Emmy is by far the most kind and knowledgable. She's the only person I've trusted completely to have my best interests at heart. From regular cleanings to much more complicated work, I've had nothing but amazing experiences here. I will be a customer for as long as it exists!

I have been going to Dr. Emmy Le since 2015. They had two great dental offices (one in Long Beach, CA, and this one in Garden Grove, CA). (The LB office is no longer there though). I am someone who has been able to witness the work of Dr. Le at both of these offices. The staff is always very friendly right as you walk through the door. This can really help alleviate any dental fears/anxiety. Dr. Le always makes sure to go over treatment plans and takes the time to explain everything to you prior to doing dental work. The office is clean, well-organized, and despite the fast-paced work environment - the staff at Lumia Dental Studio will always get you in and outta there in a timely manner. Overall a great experience! I would highly recommend Dr. Emmy Le if you are looking for a dentist that is passionate, friendly, and very educated in all the latest dental technology. Dr. Emmy & her staff really take great care of you! I really appreciate the fact that Dr. Emmy always makes the appointment very personable for each and every patient. It makes the experience more special. Another plus is that this dental office is literally in the heart of Garden Grove -- close to a lot of amazing restaurants! **NOTE** The Long Beach office is no longer operating. I think that patients will be able to find both doctors at their newly, rebranded/revamped dental office in Garden Grove, CA.

Great cleaning and actually helped me make a permanent retainer so I didn't have to go back to my orthodontist. It fit perfectly. Dr. Emmy really knows her stuff and her and her mom are the two nicest people. Great location with all the Vietnamese places to eat.

This is a very clean and family friendly office. I had all of my wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Bich Le and the process went by smoothly and recovery was well! I also had my teeth cleaning done here for many years and was always in top shape after. They were always very informative of any problems I have with my teeth or will in the future! Recently I had Dr. Emmy do the Invisalign treatment for me and so far everything is looking in excellent condition! I would highly recommend this place for all your dental needs.

Dr. Emmy is probably the best ortho/dentist I have ever had in my life. She really knows how to take care of you & knows your concerns about your teeth. Very organized & most of all very friendly. I am so happy with the way my teeth turned out from Invisalign and that's because of her constant care and reminder of what I need to do on a daily basis.

Dr. Emmy is an awesome dentist and person. She is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She makes her patients feel comfortable and is conscious about how her patients are feeling during the dental procedures. Many times, she would ask if I was doing ok and if I needed a break. She's very gentle and it adds to my comfort. It's great that patients can come in for all kinds of dental work such as cleanings and fillings as well as braces/invisalign. You can really tell she cares for her patients. She explains everything that she does and I like how she takes the time to educate us on how we can improve our oral health. She compliments and reinforces our good oral habits while she explains to us what we can do better to have healthier smiles. I always look forward to seeing Dr. Emmy and her staff and always walk out with a smile. I'm glad I found this place and highly recommend Dr. Emmy for your dental needs!

Dr. Emmy and her staff are wonderful! My family and I have been coming to see her for years. As someone who has had a lot of dental work, it is important that I have found someone I can trust and is knowledgeable and well-trained in state of the art procedures. She has gone out of her way to thoroughly explain every procedure and takes the time to answer all of my questions. At every visit for my children and I, Dr. Emmy has done all the work herself from cleanings to cosmetic procedures and even my Invisalign. She has even made coming to the dentist fun for my 4 year old!! I highly recommend Dr. Emmy! She clearly takes pride in her work and does an exceptional job every time! Her office staff is also very friendly, easy to work with, and work hard to ensure the best possible experience.
