Cosmetic Dental of Westwood

4.9(640)·18 km from Los Angeles Downtown
97Smyleee

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

Closed · Opens today at 8 AM

Documented for dental implants in Los Angeles, with sedation dentistry on the service list and 25 procedures on file.

Read full description

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

#1003, 2080, Century Park East, Century City, Los Angeles, California

Closed · Opens Monday at 8:30 AM

Los Angeles clinic with a orthodontics specialty — Sedation Dentistry is on file among 22 procedures.

Read full description

<p>Richard S. Silvera, DDS is at suite 1003, 2080 Century Park East in Century City — a high-rise office tower in one of Los Angeles's most concentrated professional and entertainment industry districts. Century Park East houses law firms, talent agencies, film production companies, and financial services firms, creating a patient demographic that combines high professional demands, significant appearance expectations, and dental histories often characterised by intense career periods during which treatment was deferred.</p> <p>Full mouth rehabilitation at a Century City address reflects the patient population that commonly presents with years of work-constrained deferral, significant cosmetic goals, and the financial capacity to address accumulated treatment comprehensively. Full mouth rehabilitation combines endodontics, restorative crown and bridge work, periodontal management, and prosthetics in a sequenced plan — designing the entire mouth as an integrated functional and esthetic system rather than addressing individual teeth in isolation. Smile makeovers in the Century City context carry esthetic expectations shaped by the entertainment and professional service environments: the coordination of tooth colour, shape, and proportion is subject to higher scrutiny than in communities with lower esthetic awareness.</p> <p>Bruxism and sleep apnea treatment are both listed — the overlapping conditions that the Century City professional demographic experiences at elevated rates. High-stress professional environments correlate with elevated nocturnal bruxism prevalence, and untreated sleep apnea has documented consequences for cognitive performance and cardiovascular health that are particularly relevant for professionals managing complex responsibilities. Oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea and custom occlusal guards for bruxism are both within scope at this practice.</p> <p>Oral cancer screening, scaling and gum disease treatment, and endodontics in-house complete the preventive and therapeutic range. Invisalign for orthodontic correction addresses the adult alignment demand that persists even in patients whose primary motivation is esthetic rather than functional correction. Sedation dentistry and emergency dentistry round out the access and acute care offerings.</p> <p>For Century City, Westwood, and Brentwood patients in the Century Park East towers who want a general practice capable of full mouth rehabilitation, sleep apnea management, and cosmetically demanding smile makeovers in the West LA professional district, suite 1003 at 2080 Century Park East provides that clinical combination.</p>

Dental Implant Center of Los Angeles

4.8(4)·11 km from Los Angeles Downtown
74Smyleee

#1609, 6200, Wilshire Boulevard, Central LA, Los Angeles, California

Closed · Opens today at 6 AM

Los Angeles clinic with a dental implants specialty — Sedation Dentistry is on file among 7 procedures.

Read full description

<p>Dental Implant Center of Los Angeles is a Wilshire Boulevard practice in the Mid-Wilshire corridor, the stretch of LA that runs from Hancock Park west toward Beverly Hills and is anchored by some of the city's denser professional and medical office buildings. The name signals the focus: this is a single-purpose implant practice, not a general dental office that also places the occasional implant. For patients whose implant case has any complexity — multiple failing teeth, prior implant problems, or significant bone loss — that focus is the difference between a doctor who also does implants and a team where it's the whole job.</p> <p>You can have a single tooth replaced or move to a full-arch solution like All-on-4 — four implants supporting a complete set of teeth, designed for patients with multiple failing teeth or aging dentures. <strong>Bone grafting and oral surgery are handled in-house</strong>, which keeps the treatment timeline tight when imaging shows pre-implant structural work is needed. Full mouth rehabilitation is the relevant option when older dental work needs to be reset and a coordinated plan across the whole mouth is the cleaner answer.</p> <blockquote>If your implant case involves multiple stages of treatment and you want a single-purpose implant practice rather than a general dental office that does some implants on the side, this is the kind of clinic equipped for that.</blockquote> <p>On cost, Mid-Wilshire dedicated implant practices typically price between Westside and Valley pricing — higher than the Valley, lower than Beverly Hills proper. A consultation here is where you get a real quote tied to your specific case. Patients researching best clinics for same-day dental implants in Los Angeles, single tooth implant cost in Los Angeles, CA, or budget dental implant clinics in Los Angeles will find this clinic a useful comparison point on the dedicated-implant end of the central-LA market.</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

Sedation dentistry in Los Angeles addresses a patient population whose anxiety about dental care is compounded by the specific experiences that LA's diverse immigrant community brings — patients from countries where dental care was historically accessed only in pain, where the relationship between clinician and patient did not allow for the expression of fear, and where the dental equipment of the past produced traumatic associations that persist into the patient's adult dental avoidance. The LA sedation dental market spans nitrous oxide at the general practice level, oral benzodiazepine sedation at dozens of mid-tier anxious-patient offices across the city, IV conscious sedation at the practices with fully trained and licensed sedation teams, and general anesthesia-assisted dentistry at the practices with on-site dental anesthesiologist access — the full sedation spectrum for the full LA anxiety spectrum.

Smyleee evaluated Los Angeles sedation dental practices on sedation modality range and California Dental Board compliance, multilingual patient communication capability for the anxious non-English-speaking patient, pre-sedation ASA classification and health assessment protocol, monitoring capability, and patient outcome quality for the dental phobia and complex anxiety case. These ten Los Angeles practices are the sedation dentists the data confirmed as delivering the most clinically safe and patient-effective sedation dentistry in the US's largest and most demographically diverse sedation dental market.
