About Century City Smiles & Orthodontics

Based on Santa Monica Boulevard in the Westwood area of Los Angeles, California, Century City Smiles & Orthodontics is a dental practice serving the area. Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list. Get in touch through it to ask questions or book a visit.

Do clear aligners hurt?
There is usually pressure and mild tenderness for a day or two each time you move to a new aligner in the series. That sensation is the teeth moving, and it typically eases as you get through each stage.
Can people tell I am wearing clear aligners?
They are considerably less noticeable than fixed braces, which is the main reason people choose them, though they are not completely invisible at close range. Small attachments bonded to some teeth can be faintly visible.
Why do dentists take X-rays?
Decay between teeth and problems below the gumline are invisible to the naked eye, so X-rays are what reveal them. Modern digital images use a low dose and are taken only when clinically justified.

Unfortunately on our first appointment due to an unplanned traffic jam we arrived at the clinic 20 mins late and because we had failed to phone in Janet's appointment had been cancelled. However the office staff with the doctor's approval considered what had transpired and reinstated the appointment and after a short wait Dr Shawn Saidian examined Janet's teeth and Xrays were taken. Summing up our experience we have nothing but good to say regarding the office staff and Dr Shawn Saidian at Century City Smiles & Orthodontics.

My experience here was amazing! I came in for a whitening and also brought my son for a cleaning. The dentist and staff here went above and beyond especially for my little guy. He needed an emergency extraction and the dentist talked both my son and I through the experience. Something that could’ve been extremely traumatic to remedy was done seamlessly and no pain to my son. Experiences like this remind me that we are all truly one. Very special professional and supportive office. Highly recommend. From a first time experience to definitely only coming here for my dental needs moving forward! ✨✨

Best Dentist in Los Angeles! I arrived and was promptly welcomed and checked in. The front desk staff is so helpful, professional and organized. The x-rays were ez, quick and comfortable. The hygenist did an Amazing job cleaning my teeth. He was thorough, informative and gentle. The Dr. greeted me on the way in and out. It was a fantastic experience and I will return soon for Orthodontic services.

The staff was kind, friendly, and professional. Normally, a visit to the dentist is unbearable stressful and concerning. I have had some terrifying and absolutely horrific experiences with several dentists in the past. Dr. Shawn and the technician (sorry I forget his name) put me at ease immediately, while fostering a degree of trust and a sense of safety. My next appointment has already been scheduled.

Dr. Shawn is the best! He's caring, knowledgable, and I'm always at ease in his office. The cost of services is very competitive and fair. His staff are awesome as well, and make for an overall excellent patient experience.

I've been seeing Dr. Saidian for over 6 years, and I'll never change dentists! Even when I moved an hour away, I chose to stay with him! Dr. Saidian shows an uncommonly human and sincere concern for his patients, and his team is great, starting with the friendly front-desk staff, and especially also his hygienist Pedro, who has the gentlest touch! The cleanings always are easy-going, and the Doc saved my life from a world of pain twice now when I managed to crack teeth. I just began ortho work with Dr. Tania and she's also very friendly and easy to talk to. She's been very patient with all my questions (and I always have A LOT.) Thank you Dr. Saidian and team!!
