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.

Horrible experience. My 2 year old son had a appointment for 2 caps. And they scheduled his appointment 3 months out before the appointment I called days prior to confirm that the doctor was going to do the laughing gas procedure the day before the procedure the office called to confirm that I was going to come to do the procedure. so the day that we go in for his procedure I waited in the office for an hour we go to the back the doctor leaves the room for about 10 minutes come back and says that he's not going to do the procedure with the laughing gas and didn't even attempt to try to do it and referred me out. He made me completely waste my time and it was completely unprofessional, and they should have did this when they confirm my appointment.

I was just in your office. Omg horrible service. I have a 6 year old daughter that is already scared of the dentist and I was not allowed to be with her while they worked on her teeth. Oh and by the way...the wait to be seen is still horrible. And they allow kids to run all over the main office like it's a playground. A mother with her baby that won't stop crying is aloud to disrupt everyone's time without anything said or done about it. Atleast take your baby outside so everyone in the office doesn't have to hear your baby for 2 hours. This office has many bad reviews. Nothing has changes

If I could give this dental office zero stars I would. The lack of knowledge and professionalism that this dental office lacks is insane. They do not care about the patients. They had my daughter sitting in the back for an hour I was wondering what was taking so long they didn't even start on her they told me. The fact that these kids don't get to go with their parents behind the doors is sketchy. One day I took my daughter they said she needed to have surgery on her mouth , The next time I took her they said she had no cavities and like which one is it. Please do not take your child here you will traumatize them and scare them from the dentist. Also the patients that have Medi-Cal will be treated differently and they will be placed on the back burner. Save yourself the headache and do not come here I am not even too sure how this place is still operating. It needs to be shut down immediately. Nobody but troubles, please stop reading this review and don't even call to book your appointment with them.

This place is so horrible.. very unprofessional and staff is very rude and the manager also. First time there and they were just rude from the beginning to my daughter and I would not recommend this place to anyone. The wait times are ridiculous and they don't have no customer service or communication skills. Trash place

I didn't get the names but I will be tomorrow. My son went it for an abscess on his gum his appointment was at 5:00 everyone was getting ready to go they cleaned my sons teeth and took him out and gave me a paper to make him another appointment on treatment the" Indian man Dr" suggests. I tell the medical assistant specifically why I took him in, she had me speak to the Dr and I tell him if he can give him antibiotics to help with abscess. Mean while the medical assistant is looking at me irritated because they all probably wanted to go home. The Dr tells her to go set up she's like everything was off already? I tell him if you guys are in a rush it's ok just give him something for his abscess to help with the pain he says no I don't give antibiotics I just extract the tooth it won't take long the medical assistant tells me to leave to the waiting area and I hear my son scream so loud and I'm hoping it's just because he was getting numbed NO less than 4 minutes they extracted his tooth I regret bringing him here the Hindu Dr comes out and he starts talking to his workers and they tell him we're just waiting for you to leave . He tells me his all done ? I tell him you didn't Evan let him get numb ?He responds i numbed him straight into his tooth so it worked, His medical assistant comes out with 1 gauze he didn't prescribe him anything for pain. Yes I could buy some over the counter but the amount of inhumane this Dr and his assistant was just to rush and go home is ridiculous. Don't bring your babies here if you love them they are inconsiderate. Have one of them get there tooth extracted with out being numb ? My sons experience was the worst don't make appointments at 5:00 if office closes at 6pm and there trying to go home. Don't make an appointment at all !!! Good luck on your experiences. This are kids they are working with.

They staff and doctors are not professional enough, I originally schedule a teeth extraction for my daughter who was suffering a lot and they only did a clean up and said that I needed to come back again. It is such a shame that they only care about billing the health insurance and not the kids well-being.

This Horrible place has a policy that parents are not allowed in the back while child is doing treatment. My child had an appointment to get treatment done at 11am on July 15th in the morning. They denied me to go back there with my child and at that time referred me to go to a different place instead of telling me while we were there to get her x-rays which was a few weeks prior to this appointment. Highly unprofessional very disrespectful.

(Translated by Google) Terrible service two hours waiting and when I ask what is going on they tell me that it is no longer in the system Even when I arrived and registered my daughter and they did her first check-up. If I don't ask there I'm still waiting. (Original) Terrible servicio dos horas esperando y cuando pregunto que pasa me dicen que ya no esta en el sistema Aun cuando llegue y registre a mi hija y le hicieron su primer chequeo. Si no pregunto ahi sigo esperando.
