About Larson Orthodontics Riverside

Larson Orthodontics Riverside operates on Indiana Avenue in the Victoria area of Riverside, California. Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives. Treatment commonly runs one to three years, with a retainer worn afterward to hold the result.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

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.

Do braces hurt?
Fitting them does not hurt, but teeth are usually tender for a few days afterward and again after each adjustment. It settles as the teeth adapt, and over-the-counter pain relief covers it for most people.
What happens during a routine dental examination?
The dentist checks the teeth for decay, examines the gums, looks at any existing fillings and crowns, and screens the soft tissues. X-rays are taken when there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth.

Dr. Laila Hadid and most of the staff seen today have very poor hand hygiene. Dr. Hadid and staff didn't wash their hands between patients or use hand sanitizer just new gloves. We will be switching providers.

Hands down thee best orthodontic services ever!! Working in the dental industry, I’m pretty picky as to where I bring my Kiddos, that being said… I not only bring my kids, I recommend Dr Larson and staff to anyone I come in contact with. The facility is clean, warm and welcoming. The staff is excellent and so professional. The orthodontist’s are knowledgeable and find ways to connect with their patients. I’m so happy with this place and I thank you for a year of ease in bringing my son in for treatment!

I had such an awesome experience here. NAY was super amazing and such a sweetheart. She makes you feel so comfortable and always makes sure you’re okay. Her communication skills are great! She takes her time and doesn’t rush. I’m really thankful she was the one to help me. I’m even more excited to start this journey with Larson. Thanks to the whole team. Super sweet. 10/10

Good doctors, but rescheduling with them is a nightmare. When I was looking for an Ortho they were willing to schedule me same day to get my braces on; But now that I’m with them, it’s happened multiple times where I needed to reschedule a visit and they offer 6-8 weeks from that apt. only prolonging the treatment. Sucks that I chose to go with them, paying everything outta pocket, but never did they tell me rescheduling would be so hard otherwise I wouldn’t have gone with Larson.

I recently went in to have my broken permanent retainer fixed, and as always, everyone at Larson Orthodontics was incredibly kind and welcoming. Even though I’ve been out of braces for just over a year, the team still treats me like family. Monica was especially wonderful, she was so helpful, kind, and genuinely cared about making sure my retainer was repaired correctly. She even took the time to check whether there would be a charge for the visit, and I really appreciated that there wasn’t. Her kindness truly made my day. I first came to Larson many years ago for braces for both myself and my son, and I’ve never once regretted it. If you’re looking for an orthodontic office that provides excellent care and truly values their patients, I highly recommend Larson Orthodontics!

This is the most wonderful orthodontist office. The team is so friendly. Dr. Larson is very personable, he builds relationships with his patience, and makes them feel comfortable. My daughter is only 8 and he made her feel special and at ease about getting braces. We got her braces on the same day as the consultation. The assistants were all smiling, happy, and very supportive. They provided tons of information and really did taylor the service to each person in the room. I am happy that we have Dr. Larson as our provider.
