About Ocean Heights Dental
Ocean Heights Dental operates on East Britton Drive in the Los Altos area of Long Beach, California. Periodontics is the specialty focused on the gums and the bone supporting the teeth, handling more advanced gum disease, related surgical treatment, and — in many practices — dental implant placement, which sits naturally alongside that training.
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.
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.

Love this place! Dr. Chen and his team have done a great job for me. They are friendly, caring and professional and I am always treated with respect and kindness at each visit. Dr. Chen also helped me save literally tens of thousands of dollars (versus another dental care provider) when he came up with a more realistic and affordable plan to restore my bite and correct other dental issues. Highly recommend this practice/team!
I have been seeing Dr. Chen for a couple of years now and he is the best!! I came in today for 2 fillings and was out in less than an hour. Dr. Chen, the hygienists & front desk staff are always incredibly kind and helpful and, go above and beyond to make each experience quick, easy & painless. If anyone is looking for a trustworthy, reliable & knowledgable dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Chen & his team!
Very patient staff that really works hard to accommodate their patients and help make them feel comfortable.
After quite the dental hiatus, I had some apprehension in returning to the chair. Very fortunate to have found this team of careful and considerate professionals. Highly recommend to anyone new to the area, or looking for a positive change.
Dr Chen and his staff are great. I had major work done. My bite was off, smile was crooked and I needed a lot of new crowns and crown implants. Dr Chen and Ashley are a great team. I highly recommend Ocean Heights Dental!!!
Dr. Chen and his team at Ocean Heights Dental are nothing less than stellar! From the moment you walk in the door, you’re more family than you are a patient. Dr. Chen and his team genuinely care about your health and well being. I cannot recommend trusting them with your oral health enough. My husband has had incredible success with them as well. Cleanings, fillings, crowns, you name it - all have been top notch across the board. If you’re looking for a dental practice in Long Beach, the South Bay, Downey, Norwalk, or north western Orange County look no further - you’ve found it!
My teeth are very sensitive and my whole life I‘ve been dreading the dentist! But since I found Ocean Heights Dental, I am actually looking forward to my teeth cleanings and check-ups. Jenn is an amazing Hygienist and always takes such good care of my teeth. Not once has she hurt my sensitive teeth! The office has a neighborhood vibe. Once you step foot in you feel like you’re about to catch up with your neighbors you have been living next door to for years -very warm. Suzanne and David are always so welcoming and Dr Chen is the only doctor (and Dr Kim who owned the office before) who I truly trust with my teeth. I’ve been recommending plenty of my friends to this office and each one of them has become a loyal patient! Look no further, you found your home dentist. Thank me later and welcome to the neighborhood! -Anh
Ocean Heights Dental has been very good to me. Jenn is a great hygienist and can help with developing better brushing habits. Dr. Chen is very knowledgeable and he has done a awesome job in guiding me through my Invisaling process. They make you feel like family and not another number.
