Dr. Arthur A. Kezian, DDS

5.0(1.3k)·8.0 km from Los Angeles Downtown
96Smyleee

443, North Larchmont Boulevard, Larchmont, Los Angeles, California

Closed · Opens today at 8 AM

Documented for general dentistry in Los Angeles, with children / pediatric dentistry on the service list and 18 procedures on file.

Read full description

<p>On North Larchmont Boulevard in the established Larchmont Village neighborhood of Los Angeles, the practice of Dr. Arthur A. Kezian, DDS offers family and general dentistry with a solid restorative and cosmetic range. Routine cleanings and exams anchor the office, keeping patients on track with preventive care, and the practice is set up to move from everyday maintenance into more involved treatment without an immediate referral elsewhere.</p> <p>The restorative side covers substantial ground. The team places dental implants, builds crowns and bridges, and provides root canal treatment along with dedicated endodontics to save teeth that are infected or damaged. CAD/CAM dental restorations support efficient, well-fitted restorations, which can shorten the path from problem to repair. Together these services let patients handle both missing teeth and compromised ones with a single familiar team rather than splitting care across providers.</p> <p>Cosmetic dentistry gives the practice a second dimension. Teeth whitening brightens stained or dulled teeth, veneers reshape and refine the front of a smile, and broader cosmetic dentistry coordinates those changes into a plan that fits the patient's goals. Having cosmetic and general care in the same office lets patients pursue both the health and the appearance of their teeth together, and affordable dental care is listed for those weighing cost.</p> <p>Because family dental care is part of the practice, the office suits parents bringing children alongside their own appointments, adults considering implants or crowns, and anyone wanting cosmetic refinement from a familiar provider in their own neighborhood. Emergency dentistry adds reassurance for the unexpected, a chipped tooth, a lost filling, or sudden pain. For Los Angeles residents in and around Larchmont Village who want dependable, wide-ranging care that blends preventive, restorative, and cosmetic services in one office, Dr. Arthur A. Kezian, DDS offers a grounded and well-rounded choice. The pairing of CAD/CAM restorations and implants with endodontics and crowns and bridges means problem teeth and missing ones can be handled by the same team, and with cosmetic and family care included, Dr. Kezian's Larchmont Boulevard practice gives the neighborhood a dependable, well-rounded home for everyday and more involved dental work alike.</p>

Blue Pearl Dentistry

5.0(1k)·12 km from Los Angeles Downtown
96Smyleee

206, 1080, South La Cienega Boulevard, Central LA, Los Angeles, California

Closed · Opens today at 9 AM

Dental Implants focus in Los Angeles, with children / pediatric dentistry listed among 29 documented services.

Read full description

<p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p>

Happy Smiles

4.9(1.7k)·6.3 km from Los Angeles Downtown
95Smyleee

Suite C, 1655, South Western Avenue, Central LA, Los Angeles, California

Closed · Opens today at 9 AM

Los Angeles clinic with a general dentistry specialty — Children / Pediatric Dentistry is on file among 11 procedures.

Read full description

<p>On South Western Avenue in Central Los Angeles, near the Koreatown area, Happy Smiles works as an accessible general and family practice serving a busy, densely populated part of the city. Routine care anchors the office, dental cleanings, exams, and the preventive attention that keeps teeth healthy, and the practice is set up to serve patients of different ages, including children, from a single convenient location.</p> <p>For patients needing more than maintenance, dental implants give the office a restorative dimension. Implants replace missing teeth and restore comfortable chewing and a complete smile, and because cosmetic services are part of the same practice, the appearance of a restoration can be considered alongside its function. This lets patients address both their health and their aesthetic goals with one team rather than seeking out separate specialists across the city.</p> <p>The cosmetic side is clear and approachable. Teeth whitening offers an easy way to brighten teeth dulled by age or staining, while veneers reshape and refine front teeth for patients wanting a more noticeable change. Affordable dental care is named among the services, which matters in a neighborhood where cost is often a real consideration, and pediatric dentistry means parents can bring young children into the same office they use themselves.</p> <p>With general and family care at its center, the practice suits households juggling several schedules, parents wanting steady preventive visits for their children, adults considering implants, and anyone interested in cosmetic improvement from a nearby provider. Emergency dentistry adds reassurance for the unexpected, a chipped tooth, a lost filling, or sudden pain. For Central LA residents near South Western Avenue who want an approachable, all-ages office that combines routine care with implant and cosmetic options, Happy Smiles offers a practical, community-minded choice for keeping a household's smiles healthy. For Central LA families near South Western Avenue who value an accessible nearby provider, having routine care for adults and children alongside implant restoration, veneers, and whitening keeps a household's dental history in one place, and emergency dentistry means a sudden problem can be handled close to home rather than across town.</p>

Los Angeles Dental Arts

4.9(482)·18 km from Los Angeles Downtown
94Smyleee

918, 8540, South Sepulveda Boulevard, Westchester, Los Angeles, California

Closed · Opens Monday at 8 AM

General Dentistry is the documented focus in Los Angeles; Children / Pediatric Dentistry sits within 27 services on profile.

Read full description

<p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p>

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 July 15, 2026Independently reviewed

Pediatric dental specialists in Los Angeles include the most experienced and credentialled ABPD Diplomates in the western United States — faculty at UCLA and USC's dental schools, private practice specialists in the affluent Westside and Valley communities, and the FQHC-affiliated pediatric dentists who manage the highest early childhood caries burden in California at the community health centres in South LA, East LA, and the San Fernando Valley. The LA County Department of Health Services operates the largest safety-net pediatric dental program in California, and the hospital dentistry access point for children requiring general anesthesia for comprehensive restorative care is more developed in Los Angeles than in any other California metropolitan area. Finding the right ABPD specialist in a city this large requires more than proximity — it requires evaluating specialist training, hospital access, and special needs patient capability.

Smyleee evaluated Los Angeles pediatric dental specialists on ABPD board certification, hospital dentistry access for general anesthesia cases, special needs patient management depth, Denti-Cal and CHIP billing coverage, and clinical outcome consistency across the full pediatric complexity range. These ten Los Angeles practices are the pediatric dentists the data confirmed as delivering the most clinically comprehensive specialist pediatric care in one of the world's largest and most complex pediatric dental markets.
