Care at Southland
What North Hollywood patients come in for
Patients often come to us for full-arch implants, gum treatment and same-day crowns, with imaging and lab work done in the office.
All-on-4 and All-on-6 for patients replacing most or all of their teeth. Same-day teeth for qualifying cases.
Dr. Hanookai places the implant and Dr. Abaian designs the crown, planned on a 3D CT scan taken in the office.
Periodontal treatment for gum disease and recession, including laser gum reshaping, often without sutures.
CEREC crowns from a digital scan, milled in the office and bonded in the same visit.
Rebuilding bone where it has been lost, so an implant has enough support. Often done at the same visit as an extraction.
