Orthodontic Evaluations With Dr. Sara Zadmehr

Dr. Sara Zadmehr is our orthodontist and has been a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics since 2022. She treats children, teens, and adults with braces and clear aligners, and she evaluates tooth and jaw alignment as kids grow.

She also volunteers with Give Kids A Smile and UCLA Health Chase Child Life. If you have questions about your child’s crowding or bite, our orthodontic consultation is free.

Learn more about orthodontics at our Whittier office.

Care That Can Follow Your Child’s Changing Smile

A checkup may lead to a cleaning, treatment for a cavity, or a conversation about alignment. We explain what we find and discuss the next step with you before treatment begins.

Dental Exams and Cleanings

Regular visits give us a chance to examine your child’s teeth and gums and talk with you about anything you have noticed at home. We provide exams, cleanings, and preventive care for children and adults.

Dental Fillings

If your child has a cavity, we examine the tooth and explain whether a filling is appropriate. We answer your questions before you decide how to proceed.

Orthodontic Evaluations

As your child grows, you may have questions about crowded teeth or how their bite fits together. Dr. Sara Zadmehr, our orthodontist, can evaluate whether treatment is appropriate and when to consider it.

Urgent Visits for Tooth Pain

If your child has a painful, broken, or knocked tooth, call us. Emergency patients can typically be seen the same day.

Reasons to Bring Your Child in for an Exam

You do not need to know what treatment your child needs before you call. Tell us what you have noticed, and we will help you arrange an evaluation.

Tooth Pain

If your child says a tooth hurts, especially when eating, an examination can help us find the cause. Let us know when the pain began and whether it comes and goes.

A Visible Spot or Damaged Tooth

A dark spot, chipped tooth, or sharp edge is worth asking about. We examine the area and explain what care, if any, is recommended.

Crowding or Bite Concerns

You may notice teeth coming in unevenly or a bite that looks different as your child grows. Tell us what you see so we can discuss whether an orthodontic evaluation would help.
