It is #MensHealthWeek2020 and one of the biggest thing to let male patients know is making the appointment and getting there is the first step! We try to make it easy by being able to contact us via Phone (213)484-2625 Text (213)484-2625... Email - [email protected] You can also direct message us here and we will help with scheduling! Do something for yourself today (which will ultimately help you for the future )

It’s #WomensHealthWeek2020 and we want to remind you to make sure to schedule your regular teeth cleanings! Obvious? maybe- but we say it because we want to remind you of how it lowers the amount of bacteria in the mouth. Women go through many phases in their life and regular teeth cleanings can help keep you healthy. There are hormonal changes in women’s lives - puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause those changes can be reflected in the gums. ... Hormones start to change in puberty which can inflame the gums - they can become swollen and bleed. During pregnancy women can also see changes because of hormones. Women who are pregnant can also develop inflammation and gum issues. When you are pregnant it is encouraged to get your teeth cleaned as long as it is in the second trimester. During peri menopause and menopause bone loss can increase. Daily flossing can help to get the plaque buildup from between the teeth which helps with bone loss. Many women test low for Vitamin D which is reflected in the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis. Hygienists are trained to clean patients teeth, check pocket depth and look for cavities so we can be preventative. The best dentistry is no dentistry.

#GutWeek2020 starts today!! Check out our story for more info on Gut Health and how it relates to dentistry! Today we spoke about chewing your food. It’s something we don’t even think about but makes a big difference. ... Have you ever tried eating a meal without talking??? It can be an exercise you try during a meal. It can help you focus on your food. The taste, feel, smell, sight, of the food can enhance the experience! Looking forward to talking more about #GutWeek2020

Before and After! (scroll through for closeups and the final with both shades from the shade guide) This patient had teeth whitening at our office and WOW!!! What a difference! ... The patient went from A4 to A1!!! We always recommend getting any restorations done before a teeth whitening session. This patient was so excited for this appointment. We answered all their questions prior to starting. After the patient was so happy with the results! And we are too!!

Another Implant Crown going in today! At our office we only use the Zirconia Implants. No metal implants! ... Combined we have been placing and beautifully restoring these metal free implants for over 10 years! We see great results and love when patients feel whole again. Call our office to schedule an implant consult with Dr. Yokoyama, @Dr.Monempour, or @Dr.LloydHerman (periodontist - if you need any gum or bone grafting) We will review the CT Scan, diagnose, and go over our comprehensive implant checklist to confirm patients are healthy and their bodies are primed for a zirconia implant. Are you ready?

Our Walk-In Area We no longer have a waiting room with chairs and a couch. No magazines. No books. No puzzles. Just the certifications for creating a green eco friendly office, SMART Certifications, policies, and art from a local LA artist. ...

Visiting holistic dental friends. Supporting our friends. Great minds think alike.

We are cautious about radiation from dental x-rays at our office. Making sure our patients get the best care with minimal x-rays is something we focus on. We are also cautious with our dental team. Do you see the orange badges on the lab jackets? Those are to measure radiation. We make sure everyone is protected. #safetyfirst #xray #cautious @ Chester Yokoyama, DDS - Dental Healing
