I've been at several dentists over the years from San Fernando Valley to Denver to Beverly Hills (during my UCLA studies). This dentist office does great work giving solid recommendations and don't go into cosmetics unless requested--the way every dentist should imo. I've been visiting for just over a year now. I like the way they give me billing information and are very respectful about giving me time to think over my options. I wish some of these reviewers on here knew that they can get more affordable dental care costs by simply getting better insurance. Dental insurance plans are cheap in comparison to other insurance costs and people don't think to switch when they should. Dr. Hedo always gives me quality recommendations that are discussed to prioritize my oral health, not to make more money. The reason I'm writing is because Samantha Hansel was the best hygienist I've ever had. Super detailed and incredibly well trained. Most hygienists struggle with my mouth size and the closeness of my teeth, but she took on my cleaning like no one I've ever seen. Thank you for setting my standards even higher for my hygienists to come. šŸ˜‰

What is the Mouth-Body ConnectionĀ® ?


The Mouth-Body ConnectionĀ® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. Thatā€™s why itā€™s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile weā€™re also looking out for your entire self.
