About Playa District Dental
In the Westchester area near Playa Vista in Los Angeles, Playa District Dental works as a general practice with a strong cosmetic side and a clear focus on patient comfort. Routine dental cleanings and exams anchor the office, keeping patients on track with preventive care, and the practice is set up to move smoothly from everyday maintenance into more involved treatment when it is needed.
The restorative and surgical offerings give the practice useful range. The team places dental implants to replace missing teeth and restore comfortable function, and handles wisdom teeth removal for patients dealing with crowded or impacted molars. For those who feel anxious or face longer procedures, sedation dentistry helps keep appointments manageable, while TMJ/TMD treatment addresses jaw pain, clicking, and tension that affect comfort well beyond the teeth. That attention to both surgical needs and patient ease shapes how care is delivered here.
Cosmetic dentistry is a clear part of the identity. Teeth whitening brightens stained or dulled teeth, veneers reshape and refine the front of a smile, Invisalign offers a discreet path to straighter teeth, and full smile makeovers coordinate larger aesthetic changes into a single plan. Having these alongside general care lets patients pursue both the health and the appearance of their teeth with one familiar team. Affordable dental care is listed among the services, giving cost-aware patients a starting point.
That combination makes Playa District Dental a fit for a range of Westside patients, adults considering implants or wisdom teeth removal, nervous patients who value sedation, those managing a troublesome jaw through TMJ care, and anyone wanting cosmetic refinement from a single office. Emergency dentistry covers sudden breaks and pain. For Los Angeles residents near Westchester and Playa Vista who want comfort-focused care that spans routine, surgical, and cosmetic dentistry, Playa District Dental offers a versatile and approachable option in one location. The pairing of sedation and TMJ care with Invisalign, smile makeovers, and wisdom teeth removal makes the practice a comfortable fit for patients who want both ease and range, and with whitening and veneers rounding out the cosmetic side, Playa District Dental gives the Westchester and Playa Vista area a well-equipped, patient-friendly option in one place.
Playa District Dental, in the Westchester area near Playa Vista in Los Angeles, blends general and cosmetic care with patient-comfort options, cleanings, implants, Invisalign, and smile makeovers, plus sedation dentistry and TMJ/TMD treatment. Wisdom teeth removal and emergency care round it out for Westside patients wanting wide-ranging treatment.

The service and procedure was well. I like this dental office
Extremely pleasant experience! From the moment that I entered, the receptionists’ were warm & welcoming,. The dental hygienist was gentle during my cleaning and Dr. Ligans was patient and answered all of my questions and concerns. Thank you!
I had a great experience during my first visit at Playa District Dental. Ms. Shonnie and the entire dental office staff was friendly, professional, and efficient. I really appreciated only waiting about five minutes before being called back to begin my dental exam. Dr. Erik Ligans (“Dr. E”) was very considerate and professional throughout my visit. He checked in with me frequently during my procedure to make sure I was comfortable and doing well with tolerating the pain. I also appreciated the dental office’s state-of-the-art facility. The modern technology used by Dr. E and his staff detected a cavity that my previous dentist missed during a routine checkup, just two months earlier, because his office used outdated equipment. Overall, I was very impressed with the quality of care and would highly recommend Playa District Dental.
The best dentist I've been to hands down im 53 years old.Thank you
I truly enjoyed my experience. The staff was amazing! The positive energy was palpable. The team was thorough. Dr E clearly conveyed any dental concerns and offered great recommendations. It’s clear he’s passionate about his craft and profession. I highly recommend Playa District Dental. Oh I must say that even before my visit the staff’s professionalism was impressive.
Ms Shonny at the front desk is the reason I came in, in the first place! The staff was so caring and compassionate to my situation and that was a huge green flag for me. I didn’t catch her name but the dental assistant that attended to me knew her stuff and was amazing. The actual work that was done on my cracked tooth was perfect. Dr Erik did a GREAT job and I left feeling more confident about my smile. Thanks guys!
I have been searching for a dentist I like, trust and does great work for years. My wife found this one and let me tell you, GAME CHANGER. I love these guys - quick, painless, and the amount of new dental technology they use is incredible. Extremely friendly, and personable. And the work theyve done on my teeth is well above and beyond expectations. Ive had 4 fillings and 2 crowns and none of them have sat funny in my mouth, or needed to be redone. (Which has happened in the past) Theres too many good things I could say about Doctor E and his team, but it wouldnt all fit on this review!
Great experience here! From the moment you walk in until you leave, the team here is very attentive and friendly. Today I came in for a cleaning service and was personally helped by Kaynaz. She was very friendly, gentle with my teeth, and made me feel very comfortable throughout the experience. Dr. E came in to give me my full assessment and was also very professional in guiding my experience and future goals for my dental health. The office is very clean and modern. A handful of the equipment they were using I had never seen before; you can tell they are really in-tune with the latest and best tech. Another nice perk is watching TV or apps while you're getting your teeth cleaned. Very nice touch! I'm very happy with my experience and couldn't recommend them enough 🙌🏽
I finally found a dental office I actually look forward to visiting! The staff is so sweet, the office has such a modern, relaxing vibe, and Dr. E is a total rockstar—they really listen to you and the communication is always spot on. They have all the latest high-tech tools, but the best part is the quality of care and the fact that they never rush you out the door. If you want a top-notch experience with a team that truly cares, this is the spot; just a heads-up that parking isn't free, so don't show up too early, and you’ll need the Metropolis app to pay.
Hands down the best dental experience! From the moment you walk in, everyone makes you feel comfortable and cared for. Their high tech equipment and attention to detail really stand out. Dr. E mapped out a clear, comprehensive plan for my dental health. So glad I found this office.
I’ve been going to Playa District Dental for a few years now and honestly, Dr. E and the whole team are amazing. They’re welcoming, patient, and make the whole visit feel a lot more comfortable than I ever expected a dentist could be. I’ve never once felt like they were trying to sell me on anything I don’t need and trust their judgment and the way they explain everything. I even recommended them to my husband, who hates going to the dentist, and he came back saying he had a great experience too. It really feels like they care about their patients, not just getting people in and out. Definitely recommend!
