General Dentistry From a Practice Open Since 2003

Keeping existing dental work healthy is a big part of general dentistry, and our team covers each piece of it: cleanings by a registered dental hygienist with over 25 years in the dental field, root canal care from a dentist whose work centers on endodontics, and crowns made by our own dental technicians.

Because those skills sit in one office, a cracked filling found at your checkup doesn’t turn into a referral and a new set of forms.

Everyday Dental Care for La Mirada Families

Patients from La Mirada travel about 5.5 miles to our office in Whittier. It’s our only location, so your cleanings, fillings and crowns are all handled by one team that gets to know your mouth over the years.

Plenty of La Mirada adults arrive with fillings, crowns or root canals from years past, often done by a dentist they no longer see. Regular exams are where we check that work and find decay under it before it becomes a bigger repair. Their kids can be seen the same afternoon.

We’ve been a general dentist in Whittier since 2003, and our Spanish-speaking team members are glad to go over your care in Spanish if you prefer.

Dental Care Near You That Keeps Older Work Healthy

Most visits from La Mirada start with a cleaning and an exam. These are the services that most often follow.

Teeth Cleaning

Scaling and polishing, then an exam. It’s the easiest way back if it has been a while.

Gum Disease Treatment

Gums that bleed or have started to pull back need more than a polish. If disease has set in, we tell you the stage and plan care around it.

Dental Fillings

A new cavity, or decay around an older filling, can often be repaired with a filling when found early.

Root Canal

When decay or a crack reaches the pulp in the center of a tooth, a root canal can let you keep it.

Dental Crowns

A crown covers a tooth weakened by a large filling, a crack or a root canal. One with decay at its edge may need replacing.

Dental Implants

If a tooth can’t be saved, an implant is one way to replace it, starting with a free implant consultation. When your own tooth can still be repaired, we recommend that first.

Common Problems With Teeth, Gums and Older Dental Work

None of these mean you need major treatment. Each is something we check for at a routine exam at our dental office near La Mirada.

A Worn or Chipped Filling

Older fillings can wear down, chip or pull away at the edges, letting decay start underneath, often without pain.

Bleeding or Receding Gums

Blood in the sink after brushing is often an early sign of gum disease, which is simpler to manage the earlier we find it.

A Crown That Feels Off

If your bite feels different or floss snags on the edge of a crown, the crown or the tooth under it may need a closer look.

Cavities in Children’s Teeth

Kids get cavities too, often between back teeth where a toothbrush misses. A child’s filling can happen at the same office as a parent’s checkup.

Checking Fillings and Crowns With Digital Tools

Our intraoral cameras take close-up pictures of your teeth and put them on a screen by the chair. You can see the chipped edge of an old filling or the dark line at the base of a crown for yourself, not just hear about it.

Digital scanners record your teeth when a crown is needed, and cone-beam CT, or CBCT, gives a 3D view when a root needs a closer look.

Questions From La Mirada Patients

What should I bring to my first visit from La Mirada?

Bring your PPO insurance details so we can verify coverage before you arrive, plus any recent X-rays you have. Our office is on Greenleaf Avenue in Whittier, roughly 5.5 miles from La Mirada, with easy parking.

I just moved to La Mirada. Can you look over the dental work I already have?

Yes. At your first exam we check your fillings, crowns, bridges and gums with X-rays and intraoral camera images, and tell you what is holding up and what may need attention. New patients can typically be seen within one week.

What if a tooth starts hurting suddenly?

Call us at (562) 696-5544. Emergency patients can typically be seen the same day, and our doctors handle urgent care in-house when possible.

How much does a dental visit cost for La Mirada patients?

The total comes down to your exam findings and your PPO benefits. Our benefits coordinator verifies your coverage before your visit and tells you upfront what your plan is expected to pay. If something is left after insurance, CareCredit, Cherry and monthly plans can spread it out.
