Southland Dental Care Services

• Sedation Dentistry
  Sedation dentistry, sometimes called “sleep dentistry,” can help patients who normally have difficulty with dental care to completely relax through their appointments. This treatment is ideal for those with dental fear or those who have difficulty becoming numb. Sedation dentistry can also turn multiple appointments into one single visit!
• Dental Implants
  Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. Dental implants consist of small titanium posts which are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing or need to be replaced. The bone in the jaw bonds with titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth.
• Lumineers
  Lumineers are dental porcelain veneers that offer the painless way of a perfectly aligned and permanently whitened smile. Our team can apply these “smile shapers” (thin as a contact lens) to teeth without any grinding or shaving of your natural tooth structure, Lumineers will transform your teeth into a naturally beautiful smile that perfectly fits you.
• Porcelain Veneers
  Dental porcelain veneers are thin, artificial tooth shells made from porcelain or tooth-colored resin, custom-fitted to bond to the front of your existing teeth. Porcelain veneers are safe and relatively simple to apply, and they can be used to correct stained, chipped, cracked, misaligned, and discolored teeth. In some cases, veneers may even reduce jaw pain and wear and tear by aligning an uneven bite.
• One Visit Porcelain Crown
  Our talented team is proud to offer a natural looking alternative: all-ceramic, non-metal crowns! With these newer restorations you will notice the "life-like" appearance that mimics natural teeth and does not produce the black gumline so common with porcelain-metal crowns. With the more natural looking crown, Dr. Hanookai will give you the smile you've always wanted!
• One Visit Porcelain Inlay
  Do you care about your health? Take a look in your mouth. Metal in your teeth is not healthy. As metal expands and contracts it can allow bacteria can to creep in and cause infection and further decay. In addition, metal filling can make smile look dark and old. Beautiful Porcelain Inlays and Porcelain Onlays are the solution. Dr. Hanookai designs them custom to match your teeth, they can revive natural strength, wear and function.
• Gum Bleaching
  Southland Dental Care is one of the few cosmetic dentistry practices in Los Angeles offering Gum Bleaching. While gum discoloration does not necessarily indicate unhealthy gums, women in particular find them unattractive. Call Dr. Hanookai at Southland Dental Care for a Free Consultation regarding your desire for Gum Bleaching.
• Gum Contouring
  "Gummy smiles" are very common. It is caused by overgrowth of the gum tissue that covers the teeth. This occurrence can be caused by a variety of things, including heredity, health conditions and even the use of many common high blood pressure medications. A gummy smile can dominate the mouth, and make the teeth seem almost secondary in appearance. Using a laser, a Periodontist can change the look and shape of the gums.
• Gum Grafting
  Your teeth may look too small or too short because of the different size relationship between your exposed teeth and gums. If you suffer from either of these issues, gum grafting or gum contouring is the solution for you. Gum grafting or gum contouring gives you the consistent, even gumline you need for a healthy, attractive smile. Dr. Hanookai can reshape your gums to make your smile more beautiful!
• Periodontics
  Periodontal (gum) diseases, including gingivitis and periodontitis, are serious infections that left untreated, lead to tooth loss. Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth.
