Mitra H. Bral, DDS is a West Hollywood based family dentist practice that treats patients of all ages. We are committed to delivering the highest quality dental care and do so using advanced dental equipment. We are a cosmetic dentist that offers services like checkups, teeth cleaning, crowns, veneers and more.
A dental veneer is a porcelain shell that dental professionals can customize to enhance the size, shape and shade of a tooth. Dental veneers are a commonly offered dental restoration at Mitra H. Bral, DDS.
If you have chipped, discolored or crooked teeth and want to change them, then dental veneers may be the solution you are looking for. Consisting of a thin porcelain shell, dental veneers can blend in with your surrounding teeth for a uniform appearance. While altering the size, shape and shade of your teeth, we can also prevent further damage to the surface of the tooth.
Far too often, people will try to avoid seeking professional dental treatment and live with damaged or crooked teeth. By avoiding treatment, people are only increasing the chance of pain or infection. A chipped tooth can risk exposing the inside of the tooth, causing pain when eating, drinking or biting down on something.
We also use dental veneers for restorations. When teeth become cracked, chipped or broken, a veneer can restore the tooth to its full functionality. As long as the tooth structure is intact, we can restore the appearance of a tooth while making it possible to eat and speak without feeling any discomfort.
When patients visit our Mitra H. Bral, DDS offices, we will take an impression of their teeth to create the veneers in a lab. The veneers will match the size, shape, and color of your teeth, taking a week or more to create.
In order to place dental veneers, we will first prepare your tooth by removing a portion of the enamel. This helps the veneer lay flat and in line with your gum tissue. After preparing the tooth, we will secure a temporary veneer using removable glue. While wearing a temporary veneer, it is important to brush your teeth gently and avoid eating any foods that may push it out of place. Since it is secured by removable glue, it can be moved fairly easily.
When your permanent veneers are ready, you will come back into our Mitra H. Bral, DDS offices so that we can remove the temporary and ensure that the new veneer is a perfect fit. It is typically attached using a water based solution to see how it looks. If any adjustments need to be made, it will be done at this time. Otherwise, the tooth will be cleaned, and the dental veneer will be bonded to the tooth. Patients will enjoy how the results look. They are instant, and you can start flashing your smile right away.
Your teeth will typically be sore for a few days after the preparation phase and after placing the permanent veneers. During this time, you can take pain medication to help you stay comfortable. Patients can also benefit from getting rest and using a cold compress to reduce any swelling. We recommend that patients watch what they eat for a few days and stick with foods that are soft. While there is a short recovery time when getting veneers, the procedure is entirely worth it because in the end, you will have a beautiful smile.
One main benefit of veneers that patients enjoy is how the veneers make their teeth look. This procedure is an excellent solution, since the veneers can transform your smile into one that looks perfect and beautiful. The veneer uses your natural teeth, so there is no need for surgery, and the recovery time is reduced. Since the veneers are made to match your other teeth, they will look natural, and no one will be able to tell that you had any cosmetic dentistry work completed. Another benefit is that they are made out of a stain resistant material. This means that your teeth will stay whiter and brighter, even if your favorite beverage is a hot cup of coffee. We can use dental veneers to transform your smile.
As with most cosmetic procedures, there can be some discomfort associated with getting dental veneers installed. This is to be expected, however, we do our best to keep patients comfortable during the procedure so that you will not experience any pain while the veneers are being placed or your teeth are being prepared. The process can take several weeks so there will be a period where you need to be careful about what you eat and what activities you engage in. In other words, do not play football after getting temporary veneers placed onto your teeth. You should schedule the procedure for a time where you will be close to home and able to take easy.

Be alert everyone! All these reviews are paid or asked by Bral to be left right away after their first visit. I dont recomend doing such thing to any business. I had a horrible experience at this place. They not only over charged me for my root canal but used my emergency to charge me with extra stuff which they could not explain and had to refund me. Baral is a complete scammer and her reasoning for all this behavior was "she is working in a high end area so she has to charge it". I am currently in a process to take this practice to the court. Again be aware and pay attention to every charge. Find a better place!!

I moved here from Nyc and hadn't been to a dentist since before the pandemic. I am so happy I found Dr.Bral, her and her team go above and beyond to provide a spa-like experience. The hygienist preformed an incredible cleaning and made sure I was comfortable the entire time and gave me beneficial tips on flossing techniques. Dr.Bral filled my very first cavity and took extra steps to make sure I understood what to expect. She also extracted a wisdom tooth painlessly. I love coming here and can't recommend it enough. Dentist offices can be intimidating but not at this office! The ease of appointment making and the short waiting period to get seen are just untouchable. Pretty sure each time I've come for an appointment I've been out in a hour or less. Thank you Dr.Bral and team!

Dr. Bral is very caring and has great attention to detail. I had a cracked veneer which had to be replaced with a crown. She made sure I leave the office completely happy and satisfied. Another thing I love about this place is they are so easy to reach and efficient in planning visits.

What a lovely, fun experience. Yes, FUN! I cannot wait to go back. This, after 8 years, no dentist. EIGHT YEARS! Embarrassing and true. Happy to report the former after my experience today. I have cavities and abrasion and deep pockets, oh my! A lot going on inside my mouth. Needless to say I was long overdue for a trip to the dentist. The catalyst: Vanity. I want whiter teeth and more confidence smiling. I needed a jumpstart. Deep cleaning. Not just your regular dental cleaning- root planing and scaling. Sounds scary and I was scared 'til I met masterminds, Dr. Mitra Bral and brilliant hygienist, Sherri. Beautiful, genuine Ala greeted me upon arrival. When we met on the phone a few days prior, she gave me the fabulous news that after X-rays and a dental exam the doctor would definitely approve a deep cleaning. Important: I searched forever for a dentist who would perform such a jumpstart deep cleaning without first charging me my life savings and requiring me to check off a laundry list of dental issues beforehand. Ala scheduled me for an appointment right away and reassured me I would accomplish what I originally wanted- a deep cleaning with significant, thorough numbing so that I could get through the deep cleaning. I am vain but also a scaredy cat and historically dread the dentist (hence the eight- year delay getting back to one). Dr. Bral is wonderful. Ingenious. Personable. Compassionate. She examined each of my teeth and reported every finding to Ala- their synergy and manner were solacing. After we agreed we would fill my cavities and bond my ultra-sensitive teeth that often cause me discomfort in the next week or so, the doctor moved me right into the next room to get my teeth cleaned by Sherri. Sherri is sensational! Adorable, brilliant, wonderfully skilled and funny. I trusted her immediately and felt calm and secure. She assured me that I was completely numb and checked in with me often to make sure I did not feel anything; she explained the process every step of the way. This, in between us joking with each other (as much as I could with half of my mouth numb and agape for cleaning). Know anybody whoever laughed while getting a deep cleaning at the dentist? No laughing gas (if that is even something made available these days). Sober. Clear. Just numb on the right side of my mouth. As for the wear-off time, Sherri told me the numbness would subside after three hours and she was exactly right. I had crunchy tacos for dinner and I have zero soreness or sensitivity. I laughed so much today. Sherri is naturally hilarious and seems to really love what she does. The same seems so for the entire crew. Everyone's humor and good energy are infectious and soothing. I will visit them again the day after tomorrow and Sherri will clean the left side of my mouth. Following that appointment I get to see Dr. Bral again for some bonding of my sensitive teeth in preparation for teeth whitening. After my pleasurable experience today I am so excited to return and look forward to a long relationship with this staff. Beautiful office. Scintillating, clean. Mesmerizing views; you are among lush trees outside their seventh-floor windows while you sit in an ultra-comfy chair. Graceful staff. Zero pain. Lots of laughter. I feel so lucky. There is no place else I will go from now on. I encourage everyone in search of a phenomenal dental practice to do the same- especially those like me who dread the dentist! You will have the best time. Thank you so much!

Of all things she is a " MENSH " Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Rabbi Chaim Goldberger. Ps if it should be necessary, I look forward to being your patient again.

Yes, all of the staff are extremely friendly. Every single one. Let's get that out of the way. What most impressed me about this dentist's office was the ease of making a first-time appointment, along with their robust online presence and timely text reminders. That has been extremely helpful to me, a newbie in health and dental care. I would recommend this dentist to my friends and family, and even to new acquaintances. Just don't feel pressured to change your appointment time if they call and ask.

I've been coming to Dr. Bral's office for eight years. I continue to go for all my dental and cleaning needs even though I live in Orange County. It is well worth the drive in traffic. Dr. Bral is the best dentist I've ever had and I've a had many. I can hardly feel the needle when getting numbed and her work is amazing plus, the staff are super attentive and accommodating. I always feel special when visiting. I highly recommend Dr. Bral and Sherry for cleaning.

Dr. Mitra Bral is truly an exceptional dentist! I would give her 10 stars if Google allowed it. Despite my super-sensitivity, Dr. Bral was compassionate and able to change all the silver filings in my mouth to white feelings. She put on a crown. She successfully straightened my teeth with Invisilign. And she worked on my mother's mouth too. She is gentle, kind, listens and makes sure you are comfortable. I have referred and will continue to refer everyone I know to her. She is truly the BEST Dentist!

My experience with Dr Bral and her staff has been nothing short of AMAZING! I was referred to her by a coworker after going to another office that pressured me into spending tons of money with mediocre work. Dr Bral was very informative and direct, without making you feel like she's a sales person. Alaa, is SO kind and helpful. Sherry, the hygienist is GREAT!!!!! She was also very informative and kind. I appreciate the energy of this office. I normally HATE going to the dentist but they have actually made this a good experience. I'm big on energy and I really appreciate the calm environment they create.
