About Salem Dentistry: Roxana Salem, DDS

Salem Dentistry is at 823 Atlantic Avenue in Downtown Long Beach — a location on one of the city's main north-south arterials running through the downtown core. Dr. Roxana Salem leads the practice with a stated clinical focus on minimally invasive dentistry — a philosophy that prioritises preserving tooth structure at each stage of treatment rather than defaulting to more aggressive interventions.

Minimally invasive dentistry as a clinical approach differs meaningfully from a practice operating without a stated philosophy. These approaches favour early detection and remineralisation protocols for incipient caries over immediate restoration, use the smallest composite preparation that restores function, and prefer inlays or onlays that preserve more natural tooth structure over full-coverage crown preparations where clinical margins allow it. For patients who have experienced overly aggressive restoration decisions at previous practices, this clinical orientation changes the treatment planning conversation.

Sleep apnea treatment is on the service list alongside the general dental scope — oral appliance therapy for obstructive sleep apnea patients in the Long Beach area. Downtown Long Beach serves a demographically diverse population that includes port workers, downtown professionals, and a large residential community where sleep-disordered breathing is prevalent. Oral appliance therapy managed within the general dental relationship allows mild-to-moderate OSA patients to avoid a separate sleep medicine referral process.

Smile makeovers at this address combine cosmetic and restorative services in a sequenced plan that addresses the smile as a whole. The planning phase evaluates tooth shade, shape, size relationships, and gum symmetry before selecting whether whitening alone, bonding, veneers, or orthodontic pre-treatment is the appropriate pathway to the patient's stated esthetic goal. Children's dentistry alongside adult services makes this a household dental option for Downtown Long Beach families.

Periodontal care, braces and Invisalign, wisdom tooth removal, and a full restorative menu round out the clinical scope. For Downtown Long Beach patients on the Atlantic Avenue corridor who want a general practice with a minimally invasive clinical philosophy, sleep apnea appliance therapy, and full household dental coverage, the 823 Atlantic address provides that combination in the downtown core.

At Salem Dentistry in Long Beach, California, Roxana Salem MD and the highly qualified staff specialize in high-quality, minimally invasive dentistry. The team focuses on dentistry that gives patients excellent dental health and appearance. The clinic offers services to all ages, making Salem Dentistry a one-stop shop for the entire family’s dental needs. Compassionate, expert pediatric dentistry is offered for children. Salem Dentistry aims to address the concerns of all patients and thoroughly

couldn't be happier with my experience getting my crowns done here. Dr. Salem was incredibly skilled, explained every step of the process, and made sure I was comfortable throughout each appointment. My crowns fit perfectly, look completely natural, and have made a huge difference in my smile and confidence. The entire staff is friendly, professional, and genuinely cares about their patients. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for high-quality dental work and exceptional care.

During a visit to Dr. Salem’s dental office for a routine appointment I decided it was time to discuss the prospect of straightening my teeth; but as an older adult I wanted a plan that would be inconspicuous. Dr. Salem suggested Clear Correct, a teeth straightening program using clear aligners that are almost invisible. I have always found Dr. Salem and her office team to be knowledgeable and provide quality dental work, so I was confident Dr. Salem’s suggestion was the right plan for me. We started with a 3D scan of my teeth and a treatment plan was created using customized clear aligners. There were monthly follow-up visits when Dr. Salem would evaluate my progress and provide a new set of aligners. The visits were a quick in-and-out. The aligners were worn through the night and most of the day; taken out to eat and drink. Very comfortable and I could talk clearly with the aligners in and smile without people noticing. This process continued for close to 2 years and the end result are beautiful straight white teeth. I have a retainer to wear at night to keep my teeth from moving and I can order more if needed. I would highly recommend the Clear Correct program.

I got my implant in 2020, and it was one of the best decisions of my life. Dr Salem made the surgery smooth and comfortable as possible reassuring me that everything was going well and that I was doing fine. I recommend doing the surgery or any care of procedures at Salem Dentistry. Also, the front desk ladies are always so kind, helpful and provide professional assistance. I 💯 recommend and love them.

Honestly one of the best dental experiences I’ve had. Everyone at Salem Dentistry was super friendly and made me feel comfortable from the beginning. I got a dental implant done and I was surprised by how pain free and smooth the whole process was. They explained everything clearly, checked on me during the procedure, and really cared about my comfort. I’m very happy with the result and definitely recommend them.

I highly recommend Salem Dentistry. Dr. Roxana Salem is extremely knowledgeable and very comprehensive - I have complete confidence in my short-term and long-term dental health. My first appointment with Dr. Salem resulted in information I had never been told before. Heidi (dental hygienist) is excellent as well - she does not cut any corners. She is technically sound and provides thorough recommendations for ongoing dental health. The entire staff (Stephanie, Lori, and Rosha) works extremely well together - all services (x-rays, billing, scheduling, etc.) have been effortless and efficient. Being a patient at Salem Dentistry has been a great experience.

First off let me just say that I am terrified of the dentist. I was referred to Dr Salem by my daughter. My experience with Dr. Salem was and has always been great. She kept it real with me and offered the best options for my case. Her staff is welcoming and professional. Her assistant is so nice and calming. She keeps me calm when I’m scared lol. I’ve never experienced any pain after treatment and that is why I would refer and recommend Dr. Salem if you’re looking for a great dentist. She has treated my kids and I and all of our experiences have been great. My children and I give her 5 stars for being amazing at dentistry. Thank you Dr. Salem for improving our smiles and promoting healthy dental hygiene.
