FAQs

Where is Trident Dentistry located?

Our office is at 11835 W. Olympic Blvd., Suite 400E, in West Los Angeles, CA 90064, convenient to Santa Monica, Culver City, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, and Century City.

What are your office hours?

We are open Monday through Thursday from 7am to 5pm, Friday from 7am to 4pm, and 8am to 3pm on select Saturdays. Call (310) 444-1445 to confirm Saturday availability.

Are you accepting new patients?

Yes. We welcome new patients of all ages. Visit our New Patients page or call (310) 444-1445 to schedule your first visit.

Do you see children as well as adults?

Yes. As a family dental practice, we care for children, teens, adults, and seniors so your whole family can be seen under one roof.

How often should I have a dental checkup and cleaning?

Most patients benefit from an exam and professional teeth cleaning every six months. Patients with gum disease, dry mouth, diabetes, or a smoking history may need more frequent visits.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Please bring a photo ID, your dental insurance information if you have it, a list of current medications, and any recent dental X-rays or records from your previous dentist.

What payment options do you accept?

We accept cash, personal checks, most major credit cards, and CareCredit® financing. Patients can also pay over time with Cherry. Learn more on our Financing & Payment page.

Do you offer dental financing?

Yes. We work with CareCredit® and Cherry so you can spread the cost of treatment into manageable monthly payments, often with low- or no-interest plans for qualified applicants.

What cosmetic dental treatments do you offer?

We offer teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, bonding, contouring, crowns, and Invisalign®, all planned with Digital Smile Design. See our cosmetic dentistry page for details.

Can you replace missing teeth?

Yes. Dental implants are our preferred long-term solution for missing teeth because they look, feel, and function like natural teeth and help preserve the jawbone.

Is Invisalign right for me?

Invisalign® works well for many teens and adults with crowding, spacing, and mild to moderate bite issues. A consultation with a digital scan will tell us if clear aligners are a good fit.

Can a dentist help with sleep apnea and snoring?

Yes. For many patients with obstructive sleep apnea, a custom oral appliance can keep the airway open during sleep as a comfortable alternative to CPAP. Learn more about sleep apnea treatment.

Do you treat jaw pain and TMJ disorders?

Yes. We diagnose and treat TMJ disorder with night guards, bite adjustments, orthodontic correction, and at-home care strategies to relieve jaw pain, clicking, and headaches.

What is Curodont™ Repair Fluoride Plus?

Curodont™ is a drill-free, needle-free treatment that helps rebuild enamel and reverse early tooth decay before it turns into a cavity that needs a filling.

What technology do you use?

Our office uses digital X-rays, VELscope oral cancer screening, intraoral cameras, CEREC same-day crowns, Waterlase laser dentistry, and Digital Smile Design. Explore our dental technology.

Can I get a crown in one visit?

In many cases, yes. With CEREC CAD/CAM technology, we can design, mill, and place a tooth-colored ceramic crown, inlay, or onlay in a single appointment.

I’m nervous about the dentist. Can you help?

Absolutely. Our team takes extra time to explain each step, and gentle options like Waterlase laser treatment reduce the need for drills and needles. Many of our patients who once feared the dentist now look forward to their visits.

What should I do in a dental emergency?

Call our office at (310) 444-1445 as soon as possible. We make every effort to see patients with severe toothaches, broken teeth, or knocked-out teeth quickly.

Can I see examples of your work?

Yes. Visit our Smile Gallery to see before-and-after photos of bonding, veneers, implants, Invisalign®, and full smile makeovers.
