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.

I have a child with autism I thought this was a good dentist in the beginning came here for an appointment on a Thursday they said it was no orthodontist here today so they made me an appointment for Friday came on Friday no Ortho Dentist is here but remind you you keep taking your child out of school early instead of them calling so you're wasting gas and the customer service is getting terrible.

Been taking my kids here since they were little and they only see Dr. Olex and Dr Lee, they are awesome! Alma's customer service was really good any questions I had she explained it in details. Rosa and Yesenia are the assistants that did my kids cleanings and they were very patient with them. This is a very busy dental office so be kind and patient, everywhere we go there's always a wait time!

The staff is friendly and kind. They thoroughly explain things and I've never had to wait too long. I'm a real busy mom, so it's really convenient that they're open on Saturdays.

The first day i went for my 5 year old son i didnt know he was suppose to eat anything for 3 hours. I didnt know but they were nice enoigh to accomadate with with another appointment. Today was the first appointment my son got work done and it went really great! Any question i had the assistant answered! Anything!! Very freindly enviorment, and my son felt comfortable, had head phone on and was watching spider-man. I asked to be in there, therefore the appointments take a little longer but i dont mind i want to be in there with him. Solo appoinments the kids get seen sooner. Your personal prefence i guess. But i am truly happy, he even got to choose a toy when he was done. The Dentist was nice to, i appreciate the work he did he mad me feel less nervouse cause i was scared for my sons work, and it was alot of work. Root canals, crowns. (My sons 1st appt in 4 years) 5 stars for this place!

They could be great at times and over booked at others. they are good with kids and they make my daughter feel comfortable every time. However on busy days receptionist could be very rude when they are over worked and over whelmed, don't take it out on them they try there best.
