Dentist in Los Angeles, CA

Coming up from Mid-City or the Miracle Mile, La Cienega Blvd does most of the work. It runs north from Wilshire Blvd, through the Beverly Center crossing, and ends at Sunset a few blocks east of us. LACMA to Suite 16 is roughly three miles; The Grove and the Original Farmers Market are a similar distance by way of Beverly Blvd. Fifteen to twenty-five minutes is typical, and the Beverly Center intersection is the part most likely to hold you up.

From the Westside the shape of the trip changes. Santa Monica Blvd east, then north on San Vicente Blvd, is the usual line in from Century City, Brentwood and Santa Monica, which works out at roughly four miles from Century City and around ten from the beach. Twenty to forty minutes is realistic depending on the hour, since the 10 and the 405 move those numbers around far more than anyone can promise in advance.

Driving past closer offices generally means someone wants something particular. Implant cases are one reason: planning, placement and the final restoration handled by a single team instead of being passed between addresses. Jaw pain and clicking that turns out to be a TMJ problem is another, as is sleep apnea, where a custom oral appliance is sometimes a workable alternative for people who cannot get on with a machine. Families also tend to consolidate at West Hollywood Dental Group, putting children and adults on the same afternoon so one journey covers everybody. Where a plan runs across several visits, we try to group the longer steps together so each trip in is worth making.

On a longer drive the small details matter more. Parking is validated on site, so the trip does not finish with a lap of the block looking for a space. Appointments run 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday to Friday, with Saturday and Sunday by arrangement, and it is worth asking the front desk to group visits when more than one person is coming in. PPO coverage from most major plans is accepted, and CareCredit spreads a longer course of treatment across manageable payments rather than one lump sum. Care is offered in English and Farsi.
