Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions our Mission Hills patients ask most. Have a question that isn’t here? Call us at (818) 855-2855.
Your First Visit & General Care
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first appointment includes a comprehensive exam, any necessary X-rays, and a discussion of your dental health and goals. Our team will review your medical history, answer your questions, and build a personalized treatment plan with no pressure and no surprises.
How often should I see the dentist?
For most patients we recommend a checkup and professional cleaning every six months. If you have specific concerns such as gum disease or a history of cavities, we may suggest more frequent visits to keep your smile healthy.
What are your office hours and where are you located?
We are located in Mission Hills, CA 91345, and we proudly serve the San Fernando Valley. We are open seven days a week, including Sundays from 8AM to 2PM, to make care convenient for busy schedules.

I feel nervous about going to the dentist. Can you help?
Absolutely. Dental anxiety is very common, and our team is experienced in helping nervous patients feel at ease. We move at your pace, explain everything before we begin, and offer comfort options so you stay relaxed throughout your visit.
Will my treatment hurt?
We use modern anesthetics and gentle techniques to keep you comfortable. Most patients are surprised by how little they feel during procedures. If you ever feel discomfort, simply let us know and we will adjust right away.
Do you offer sedation options?
