Infant/Toddler Dentistry
Our infant and toddler dental visits expertly guide you in cultivating oral health for the newest addition to your sweet family. We are ready to support you every step of the way as your infant begins to teethe and grow into their toddler years. From feeding to oral hygiene and joyful oral care, we got you and your baby covered! Get ready for fun collaborations, song singing and plenty of clapping and cheering. The very first dental visit is an experience worth treasuring and an adventure the whole family will want to be part of!
Child/Teen Dentistry
Child and teen dental visits that are fun and engaging are what we do best. We love to empower children and teenagers by educating them about their oral health. During childhood and teenage years, kids are transitioning from primary to permanent teeth. This is an exciting time to watch their beautiful smiles develop and transform. As children understand that brushing and flossing their teeth is an important part of caring for themselves, they learn how to commit to the choice of health, how to cultivate wellness routines that last a lifetime and how to celebrate the gift of their smile.
Special Dentistry for Special Needs
Welcoming our friends with special health care needs has a special space in our hearts. Our inclusive approach revolves around the understanding that each child is unique. Our skills are focused on honoring this uniqueness and tailoring dental experiences to these specific needs. We support the accommodations and comforting aids that make the big differences for our special friends. With the goal of guiding your child through a positive and gentle dental health journey, we invite parents to thoughtfully pre-plan and navigate specifics during a pre-appointment, detailed conversation.
Sports Dentistry
Sports Dentistry is a branch of Sports Medicine that connects dentistry with sports and physical activity. It focusses on the prevention and treatment of dental injuries associated with sports and exercise. As your Sports Dentistry advocate, the Smiles team supports our athletes in nurturing their oral and dental well-being. From soccer, basketball, baseball, volleyball, lacrosse to ice hockey, water polo, martial arts, and more, we are committed to promoting oral health and injury prevention. With our leading-edge 3D printing technologies, we can digitally design and print custom-fitting mouthguards that are comfortable and easily reproducible.
Solea Laser Care
Gentle dentistry that doesn’t require dental anesthesia is a happy reality with our Solea Laser experience. This all-tissue CO2 laser has the capacity to treat both tooth structures and soft tissues simultaneously. Solea can care for cavities without dealing with the numbness of local anesthesia. It also offers periodontal therapies and oral surgery procedures that are clean and easy using topical anesthetic. With its comfortable and extremely effective results, we feel that the Solea laser is one of the most powerful and impactful tools that dentistry has to offer today. It is simply unparalleled.
Esthetic Dentistry/3D Printing
Our team is one of the first dental practices in Los Angeles and the nation to navigate the space of pediatric and teen esthetic dentistry paired with CAD/CAM and 3D printing solutions in children and teenagers. With pioneering digital workflows, we are adapting adult esthetic dental technologies to the needs of our child and teenage clients. Same-day, biomimetic restorations that protect and enhance young dentition offer revolutionary solutions and smile improvements. These technologies are based on additive dentistry making them both tooth-preserving and adjustable. They can also enhance orthodontic results to achieve natural-looking, beautiful smiles.
Temporomandibular (TMJ) Well-being
Our “whole-istic” approach to dental wellness includes TMJ evaluations at every check-up. The importance of cultivating health-promoting habits for head, jaw and posture well-being is emphasized to our young friends during their visits with us. TMJ popping, clicking and facial muscular tension are common findings in the younger population. The good news is that their growing bodies have the highest of healing abilities. Minor adjustments along with self-care routines can make a world of a difference. TMJ treatments include palliative laser and red-light therapy, physical therapy and custom mouthguards.
Sedation Suite
The Smiles dental sedation suite compliments our vision of comfortable and gentle dental care for kids and teens. We believe in compassionate dentistry that fosters positive dental experiences for an entire lifetime. Our Sedation options vary in level depending on the specific needs of each child. From inhalation sedation to oral sedation and safe, in-office deep sedation or general anesthesia, we will help you select the sedation option that allows excellent dental care and is the right match for your child and family.
