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

Closed · Opens today at 9 AM

Dental Implants focus in Los Angeles, with root canal treatment listed among 30 documented services.

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.

Cosmetic Dental of Westwood

96Smyleee

460, 1762, Westwood Boulevard, Westwood, Los Angeles, California

Closed · Opens today at 8 AM

Dental Implants is the documented focus in Los Angeles; Root Canal Treatment sits within 25 services on profile.

Read full description

Cosmetic Dental of Westwood is at suite 460, 1762 Westwood Boulevard in the Westwood neighbourhood of Los Angeles — a few blocks from the UCLA campus on the Westwood Village commercial strip. The practice is led by Drs. Sandra Shakibkhoo, Michelle Elihu, and Elnaz Hendifar, with a stated clinical focus on cosmetic dentistry, implants, and full-service general care for the Westwood patient community.

TMJ/TMD treatment is explicitly listed alongside the cosmetic and restorative services. TMJ assessment involves evaluating joint mechanics, muscle palpation, and occlusal analysis to identify whether a patient's symptoms — headaches, jaw clicking, facial pain, or limited mouth opening — are primarily muscular, articular, or occlusion-driven before selecting among splint therapy, occlusal equilibration, or referral for more invasive intervention. In the Westwood patient population, which includes UCLA faculty and staff with work-related stress patterns, TMJ dysfunction presentations are common clinical territory.

Full mouth rehabilitation at a Westwood cosmetic practice reflects the esthetic demands of cases where functional rehabilitation and cosmetic outcome must be planned simultaneously. Patients in the UCLA and Westside corridor often want the functional restoration to also deliver coordinated tooth colour, shape, and proportion — not simply restored occlusion. Prosthetics dentistry as a distinct listed service covers crown and bridge cases beyond the routine single-unit scope, including fixed partial dentures and complex implant-supported prosthetics requiring full-arch design decisions.

Oral cancer screening, sedation dentistry, and emergency dentistry complete the broader care profile. Braces and Invisalign cover orthodontic cases for the Westwood and surrounding UCLA-area population. For the Westwood patient demographic — which includes university affiliates, Westside professionals, and surrounding residential communities — access to a multi-doctor practice with cosmetic, prosthetic, and TMJ capability near the UCLA campus reduces the need to maintain relationships with multiple providers.

For Los Angeles patients in the Westwood and Brentwood neighbourhoods on the Westwood Boulevard commercial strip who want a multi-doctor cosmetic and restorative practice with TMJ assessment, full mouth rehabilitation, and orthodontic capability near UCLA, the suite 460 address at 1762 Westwood Boulevard provides that clinical range.

Affordable Dental

4.8(614)·24 km from Los Angeles Downtown
90Smyleee

6251, Van Nuys Boulevard, Van Nuys, Los Angeles, California

Closed · Opens today at 9 AM

Los Angeles practice known for dental implants, with Root Canal Treatment among 13 documented procedures.

Read full description

Affordable Dental is a Van Nuys practice on Van Nuys Boulevard, in the heart of the San Fernando Valley dental corridor where most Valley patients shop locally rather than driving over the hill to West LA or Beverly Hills for procedures. The name does most of the positioning work — this is a practice built around making implant and full-mouth work financially accessible to working Valley families, not a high-end specialty center built around premium pricing. For patients in Van Nuys, North Hollywood, Sherman Oaks, Reseda, and the broader 818 area, a Valley-local implant option matters when an implant case typically involves several months of coordinated visits.

You can have a single missing tooth replaced with an implant here, or move to a full-arch restoration like All-on-4 — four implants supporting a permanent set of teeth, typically used when traditional dentures aren't holding up. Bone grafting and oral surgery are handled in-house, which keeps the treatment timeline tight when imaging shows your jaw bone needs structural work before a fixture can go in. Full mouth rehabilitation is the right pathway when older fillings, crowns, and missing teeth have accumulated to the point where individual fixes won't get you to a stable, comfortable bite anymore.

If you're a San Fernando Valley resident who wants implant care without the West LA price tag, this is a Valley-local practice positioned around exactly that calculation.

On cost, the practice is positioned around the price differential between the Valley and West LA or Beverly Hills, where the same procedures typically run significantly higher. A consultation here is where you get a real quote tied to your specific case rather than a generic price band. Patients researching cost-effective dental implants in Los Angeles under $3,000, dental implant financing for seniors in Los Angeles, or budget dental implant clinics in Los Angeles arrive with budget questions and leave with a structured estimate to compare against quotes from other LA-area practices.

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 today at 8 AM

Documented for dental implants in Los Angeles, with root canal treatment on the service list and 27 procedures on file.

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.

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 10 AM

Dental Implants focus in Los Angeles, with root canal treatment listed among 5 documented services.

Read full description

Based on West 6th Street in the Westlake area of Los Angeles, California, Union Dental Center is a dental practice serving the area. Emergency dental care covers sudden problems that will not wait for a routine appointment — severe pain, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, swelling, or a lost filling that leaves a tooth exposed. Same-day or urgent appointments are the point of an emergency service, rather than the standard multi-week booking window.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

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. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list. Get in touch through it to ask questions or book a visit.

Pediatric Dentistry is the documented focus in Los Angeles; Root Canal Treatment sits within 4 services on profile.

Read full description

Based on San Pedro Street in the South Los Angeles area of Los Angeles, California, Children Dental World is a dental practice serving the area. Pediatric dental care is built around treating children specifically — dentists with additional training in child development and behaviour management, and offices designed to make a first visit unintimidating. Guidance generally points to a child's first dental visit around age one or within six months of the first tooth.

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. Contact details for Children Dental World are on this page, along with the full list of services offered — reach out to ask about scheduling.

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 3, 2026Independently reviewed

Root canal treatment in Los Angeles is available at every quality tier from the UCSF-trained endodontic specialist in the Beverly Hills office with operating microscope and CBCT imaging to the general dentist in Inglewood managing root canal cases between hygiene appointments with hand files and a periapical X-ray. The outcome difference — a completely obturated, three-dimensionally sealed root canal system versus an inadequately filled root with a persistent periapical lesion — is not visible to the patient on the day of treatment and only apparent on follow-up radiography two years later. In an LA market this large, identifying the practices whose endodontic technique delivers the treatment that the periapical lesion requires — rather than just an anatomically approximate attempt — is the evaluation that the Smyleee Rating performs on the patient's behalf.

Smyleee evaluated Los Angeles root canal providers on endodontic specialist credentials or documented advanced training, operating microscope use for routine and complex cases, CBCT imaging for missed canal and resorption diagnosis, thermoplastic obturation technique quality, and patient outcome consistency at twelve-month periapical healing assessment. These ten Los Angeles practices are the root canal providers the data confirmed as most reliably delivering technically complete endodontic treatment across one of the world's largest and most complex endodontic patient markets.
