We will be busy in the next coming weeks, so book your appointment at 626-449-5420! Our office Invisalign Day in October was a success! We were able to help many of our patients by educating about the health concerns connected with malocclusion, or teeth that don’t fit right. Your teeth whether they like it or not, are trying to work in concert to deliver the best chewing function so that you can enjoy food and more practically, be able to digest food properly and easily. When teeth are crooked, they aren’t able to work as well and can wear down more rapidly than teeth that are functioning ideally. Functional teeth longevity is the key to keeping your teeth forever and to maintaining the best overall health of the body. Malocclusion has been correlated with heart disease, pre-term birth weight, stroke, heart attack, and other systemic problems all because it has been shown to worsen gum disease. This is why we believe that straightening your teeth will improve your health, not to mention your self image.

During this time of giving thanks to our friends and family, we would like to thank our wonderful patients for their continued trust and confidence in our team. Our office has continued to grow thanks to the many referrals we get from not only our patients but from colleagues in the area as well.

By February 1st next year, we will be an out-of-network provider for Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance plans.For some of the plans, there may be minimal to no change in your co-pays. For others, there may be more of a significant co-pay change. For those of you who have one of these plans, please call Norma or Kristy in our office 626-449-5420 to confirm how this will impact changes in your co-pay before your next appointment.

We want to maintain the same high quality level of care, materials and comfort that we have been giving our patients the last 8 years. We want to continue seeing you in a timely manner by minimizing wait time and giving our patients ample time at appointments, getting to know you and your dental concerns.
