Thank you for visiting our website! We created this page to provide important information that will guide you through our dental practice.
In our office, you are our guest, treated with personalized care and respect from the moment you walk in the door. Our goal is to be the best Torrance dentist office and we aim to provide the best treatment and diagnosis that a dental practice can possibly give you. We prioritize our patients’ goals through an open dialogue between the patient and our team. Each working space has patient education software that helps us translate dental terminology to a more patient-friendly format.
Please, do not hesitate to call us if you have any questions. We look forward to meeting you and providing you with the best dental care possible.
Our priority is your comfort. We have earplugs and iPods to ease you during treatment. We have pillows and blankets to keep you cozy. Patients with dental anxiety and dental phobias have the option to be sedated either orally sedated, iv-sedation, or anesthesia. Our treatment counselors are readily available to discuss your needs, whether it’s a prior call or during your first consultation. Our treatment counselors are determined to make all necessary arrangements to fit your individual needs. This is your treatment; get involved and ask questions! We believe that an involved and informed patient is more likely to attain the best healthcare possible. We can’t wait to work with you to reach your ultimate healthcare goal!
Your first visit to our Torrance dentist office will contain a consultation reviewing and explaining your treatment options and diagnosis. Sometimes, treatment can be done on the same day as your consultation. However, the more complex your medical history and treatment plan, the longer it may take. We may require a second appointment for further evaluation and treatment on another day.
When you visit us for the first time, please provide the following information:
Providing us with these can help us save you time and evaluate a treatment plan quicker.

If surgery is needed, please let us know if you have a medical condition that may be of concern (i.e., rheumatic fever, artificial joints, and heart valves, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.) or if you are taking medication (i.e. anticoagulant therapy, aspirin, heart medications, etc.)
We request that you have any x-rays from a previous physician or dentist be forwarded to our Torrance dentist office. If time is limited, please provide them physically to our office. If we require more x-rays, we will take them at our facility.
