Western Dental attracts some of the best and brightest dentists from top dental schools across the country and around the world. And every one of them is dedicated to helping you chew, nibble, gnaw, smile and help you keep those pearly whites for a lifetime.
Our dentists are passionate about providing patients with the best possible dental care. Thats why every Board-certified Western Dental dentist stays on top of the latest technical training in their area of expertise by completing an ongoing series of clinical education courses throughout their employment. It keeps them up to date on the most effective clinical practices and technologies available in the industry. We not only demand that of our dental professionals, but we make it our pledge to you.
Prior to joining Western Dental, Dr. Luther served as the Chief Dental Officer & Senior Vice President-Dental Management for DentaQuest, the third-largest oral health enterprise in the country, and served as Chief Dental Officer for UnitedHealthCare Dental
Bleeding gums can be a sign of gingivitis (inflammation of the gums), or gum disease, a more advanced stage known as periodontitis. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to serious problems like bone and tooth loss. Infection in your gums can spread to other parts of the body and has been linked to heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Fortunately, there are ways to manage gingivitis and gum disease. See your dentist to evaluate the type of treatment right for you based on the condition of your gums.
Your dentist will discuss your concerns with you prior to treatment and make every attempt to make you comfortable during treatment using the type of anesthesia and sedation best suited to your needs.
Periodontitis, or gum disease, is common but fairly preventable. The cause is usually poor oral hygiene. Periodontitis can lead to tooth and bone loss, and it's a risk factor for heart and lung diseases.
Without knowing the specific pain medicine you used, I can tell you that some medications cause dry mouth that can increase your chances of tooth decay or gum disease, which can result in tooth loss. When taking medication, its important to be diligent in maintaining an oral hygiene regimen to minimize the effects of medications on your dental health.
If you are uneasy about dental procedures, sleep dentistry is an option for many patients. Sleep dentistry can range from deep sedation, or general anesthesia, recommended for tooth extractions and complex oral surgeries, to a kind of twilight sleep that will put you in a very relaxed state. Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is another option for relieving anxiety during dental visits and is appropriate for patients of all ages, including children. Your dentist can discuss whats right for you.
We're here to make sure everyone has access to complete dental care of the highest quality. Not just check-ups and fillings: complete dental care including braces, implants and oral surgery. We have everything a healthy smile requires in one place.
We set our prices for people, not pop stars. Plus we accept almost every insurance plan, offer our own plans for people without insurance and help you cover the bill with CareCredit and in-house financing.
Weve been making quality care more affordable since our founder, Dr. Curtis Beauchamp, opened his first office in 1903. Like a lot of visionaries back then in Los Angeles, he did a lot more than start a practice. He opened up dentistry to the people and championed the idea that everyone should have good oral health.
He did it by delivering excellent care at affordable prices and letting his patients pay over time. Back then, they called it 'Credit Dentistry.' These days, it 's how almost all of us afford the braces, root canals and implants we need.
By the 1930s Dr. Beauchamp and his son, Dr. Robert F. Beauchamp were treating thousands of patients at multiple locations. Fast forward to today, and we serve over 1 Million people a year in four states.
At Western Dental, were all about teeth young ones, old ones, shiny ones, crooked or chipped ones. Thats why you can think of us as your Dental Home. Becauseno matter what your tooth issue, were here to resolve it.
Our general dentists, specialists and hygienists are all under one roof. Which means that treatment for implants, or braces, or periodontal care can take place in the same office. Panoramic x-rays, oral surgery, restorative work requires a visit to only one location. And families are welcome from young children to senior citizens because we have specialists for every age. That can save you time and expense plus assure you of quality care by one familiar, cohesive team.

Went in because my son was having severe tooth pain. They took xrays of his mouth. The Dr. A short petite lady whom I think was Indian didnt even do a physical exam on his mouth. Only looked at his xrays an tried to say he didnt need antibiotics. She recomended IBprofen. Thats what he was taking and it wasnt working. I had to push it. As soon as he started antibiotics his pain started to lessen. Finding a new place for sure.

(Translated by Google) This clinic is terrible, the receptionists are not professional at all and they charge the doctor for procedures that they do not even perform, they treat you badly, they are Latinas and they discriminate against you for being Latino, I was present all the time during the treatment they gave my son and I did not look that they performed all the procedures that they say they did they laugh at you they make fun of you in your face and then they call you to offend you and threaten you DO NOT GO TO THIS CLINIC IT IS THE WORST CLINIC AND THE BADEST EXPERIENCE YOU CAN HAVE IT IS GARBAGE (Original) Esta clinica es pesima las recepcionistas no son nada profesionales y le cobran al medical procedimientos que ni siquiera realizan te tratan mal son latinas y te discriminan por ser latino yo estuve presente todo el tiempo en el tratamiento que le hicieron a mi hijo y yo no mire que le realizaron todos los procedimientos que dicen q hicieron se rien de ti se burlan en tu cara y despues te llaman para ofenderte y amenazarte NO VALLAS A ESTA CLINICA ES LA PEOR CLINICA Y LA EXPERIENCIA MAS MALA QUE PUEDES TENER ES UNA BASURA

The staff, from the front desk to the assistants, and dentist were kind and patient. They made sure my little girl was comfortable and they reassured her she was doing a great job. This was her first filling at this office and she did better here than at our previous dental office.
