Read full description

Blue Pearl Dentistry is at suite 206, 1080 South La Cienega Boulevard in the Carthay and Mid-City area of Los Angeles — a location on La Cienega accessible from Carthay, Windsor Hills, and the Fairfax District, with proximity to Beverly Hills and the mid-city residential communities. The practice is multi-doctor: Drs. Robert S. Huang, Amna Hussain, Benjamin Rosenbaum, and Deborah Termeie collectively bring over 30 years of combined clinical experience to the address.

TMJ/TMD treatment and bruxism management are both on the service list — the overlapping clinical conditions where jaw dysfunction and nocturnal tooth grinding intersect. TMJ assessment at this practice involves joint palpation, range-of-motion evaluation, and occlusal analysis to identify whether a patient's symptoms — headaches, jaw clicking, facial pain, or limited opening — are primarily muscular, articular, or occlusion-driven before selecting among splint therapy, occlusal adjustment, or further referral. Bruxism management addresses the progressive tooth wear, fractured cusps, and restorative failures that grinding causes over years.

Periodontal surgery is listed as a distinct service beyond routine scaling and root planing — active surgical management of periodontal defects including osseous surgery, flap procedures, and guided tissue regeneration for patients whose attachment loss has not been controlled by non-surgical therapy. Bone grafting alongside dental implants covers pre-implant ridge preparation cases where alveolar bone has resorbed following tooth loss. Full mouth rehabilitation at this address means multi-disciplinary treatment planning across the full jaw when systemic restorative needs exceed single-tooth management.

Sleep apnea treatment and oral cancer screening extend the clinical scope to health conditions that have oral components but are often managed separately. Cosmetic contouring — minor reshaping of tooth margins — is a low-intervention esthetic option alongside veneers, whitening, and full smile makeovers. For the Carthay and Mid-City patient population, a multi-doctor practice with this combined capability reduces the need to distribute treatment across multiple specialist referrals.

For Los Angeles patients in the Mid-City and Carthay neighbourhoods on La Cienega Boulevard who want a multi-doctor practice covering TMJ assessment, periodontal surgery, implants with bone grafting, and full mouth rehabilitation, Blue Pearl Dentistry's suite 206 address covers that clinical depth.

Open until 4 PM

General Dentistry focus in Los Angeles, with emergency dentistry listed among 27 documented services.

Read full description

Tucked into a Sepulveda Boulevard suite on the west side of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Dental Arts works as a one-stop practice for patients who would rather not bounce between specialists. The team handles the everyday backbone of general and family dentistry, from cleanings and exams to fillings, crowns, bridges, and root canal treatment, and they keep emergency dentistry on hand for the cracked tooth or sudden ache that cannot wait.

Where the practice really stretches is in restoration and full-mouth work. Dental implants, bone grafting, and full mouth rehabilitation sit alongside dentures and prosthetics, so someone facing extensive tooth loss or a complicated rebuild can map out a plan without being referred across town. CAD/CAM restorations let crowns and other fixed work be designed and milled with digital precision, which tends to mean fewer appointments and a closer fit.

The cosmetic menu is unusually broad for a neighborhood office. Patients can straighten with braces or Invisalign, brighten with professional whitening, reshape with veneers, or try a removable Snap-On Smile for a quick change without permanent work. Gum disease treatment and oral cancer screening round out the preventive side, so aesthetic goals are pursued on a foundation of healthy tissue rather than in isolation.

That combination suits a wide spread of people. Families appreciate having children's checkups and adult restorative care in the same place, implant and denture patients get surgical and prosthetic steps coordinated by one team, and anyone weighing a cosmetic upgrade has several price points and commitment levels to choose from. With affordable care called out as part of the offering and extractions, gum treatment, and emergency visits all available, the practice reads as a practical home base for ongoing dental health in this corner of Los Angeles rather than a single-service stop. For patients juggling work and family on the west side, the value of one address that covers braces, implants, and a child's first cleaning alike is mostly practical: fewer referrals, one set of records, and a team that already knows the history behind a particular tooth or recurring concern.

How to Choose a Dentist in Los Angeles

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated August 5, 2026Independently reviewed

Dental emergencies in Los Angeles occur at all hours across every neighbourhood of the world's most geographically sprawling major city — from the Beverly Hills patient with a fractured Empress crown who calls their concierge dentist's after-hours line, to the South LA patient with an acute periapical abscess who appears at Martin Luther King Jr. Outpatient Centre's emergency room because the nearest dental emergency clinic is two bus transfers away. LA's emergency dental landscape includes the true 24-hour walk-in dental offices along the major commercial corridors, the UCLA and USC dental school after-hours emergency clinics, the LA County DHS urgent dental access programs, and the private urgent-care dental practices whose same-day access serves the insured working professional across the city's many communities.

Smyleee evaluated Los Angeles emergency dental practices on confirmed same-day and after-hours on-site availability, diagnostic and treatment capability for the full acute presentation range, Denti-Cal and commercial insurance billing, geographic distribution across the city's vast footprint, and patient outcome quality under urgent care conditions. These ten Los Angeles practices are the emergency dental providers the data confirmed as reliably accessible and capable across the full economic and geographic range of one of the world's largest cities.
