Dental Crowns
When a tooth needs to be repaired or replaced, oftentimes a crown will be used. A crown gets its name because it literally sits over the head portion of a tooth, capping off areas exposed to permanent decay or damage. Our Hawthorne dental facility provides porcelain crowns, furnished by our Master Dental Technician, made of only the finest non-metal porcelain materials. Crowns are excellent for restoring a tooth to it’s natural appearance and function, and also to maintain its strength. Our Hawthorne dentists will customize your crowns based upon specific features, facial contours, smile characteristics, skin tone, and other aspects that make you, and your dental care, unique.
Porcelain Veneers
You may have heard porcelain veneers referred to by their nickname: “instant orthodontics”. Porcelain veneers have been given this nickname because of their innate ability to give the teeth they are bonded to a straighter appearance. It’s amazing what can be done by our Hawthorne dentists with this procedure, often in just two visits. Porcelain veneers can repair chipped teeth, close spaces, and whiten teeth. Our porcelain veneers are handcrafted at our Hawthorne dental office by our Master Lab Technician, which means you’ll get your permanent porcelain veneers faster, with a better, more precise eye towards quality.

Fixed Bridges
Also known as partials or fixed partial dentures, fixed bridges are placed to replace a missing tooth, while preventing the inevitable shifting of surrounding teeth. Fixed bridges are often made of durable ceramic material. Surrounding tooth structure is modified slightly to create room for the bridge, while still holding the place of surrounding teeth. By preventing shifting, a fixed bridge helps support your facial shape while preserving chewing function. Complete bridge treatment requires only two visits to our Hawthorne dental office. With regular care, you can expect your fixed bridge to last for years and years to come.
Lumineers
Lumineers by Cerinate represent a minimal prep, minimal pain solution to conventional porcelain veneers. Unlike other porcelain veneers, Lumineers are thin as a contact lens, yet durable and flexible. This makes them easier to place with little to no preparation required. As a Hawthorne Lumineers certified dentist, Dr. Azizi will take time to go over the procedure with you, addressing your concerns and answering your queries.

White Fillings
Also known as tooth-colored fillings, white fillings represent a more advanced, state-of-the-art form of dentistry. The main advantage to white fillings over metal fillings is that they are stronger and potentially safer. Our Hawthorne dentists may recommend that you have your metal fillings removed and replaced with stronger, more durable, more cosmetic tooth-colored fillings. In addition to function, white fillings can be custom-shaded to be just about any shade of enamel needed for your smile.
ZOOM-AP Whitening System
How about a whiter smile in about the time it takes to eat lunch? This is possible thanks to the revolutionary ZOOM-AP whitening system. The procedure consists of a whitening light that shines on your teeth, which helps to strengthen a highly-concentrated bleaching formula placed on your teeth by our Hawthorne cosmetic dentists. The two procedures work together to provide a smile several shades whiter in just 1 to 2 hours. To maintain your smile’s brilliance, our office also offers Nite White and Day White take-home whitening kits by Discus Dental, the makers of ZOOM. We recommend a combination of in-office and take-home whitening treatments for the longest, best results possible.
Smile Makeovers
When just a single cosmetic dental procedure simply won’t do for the results you want, consider an entire cosmetic smile makeover! Our Hawthorne cosmetic dentists can do wonders for your smile and your self-confidence. Smile makeovers take into account every aspect of your facial appearance, even the color of your hair, to create a look that is not simply beautiful, but incredibly natural and just right for you. With a combined package, we can harmonize the shape, size, and alignment of your teeth and gums, for a knockout smile that sure to sparkle when you enter the room.
Hawthorne Implant Dentistry
Are you missing one or more of your natural teeth? Do you struggle daily with loose, ill-fitting dentures? It’s time you considered dental implants, now the standard of care for permanent tooth replacement. Dental implants represent a technological breakthrough in dentistry. These unique titanium inserts act as roots of lost teeth, stabilizing brand new restorations, like crowns or bridges, for a look, feel, and function as close as you can get to your natural teeth. Dental implants can also be used to permanently affix dentures, making messy adhesives and realignment appointments a thing of the past. Dr. Joseph works closely with our Hawthorne oral surgeons and Hawthorne periodontists to make sure you receive accurate, predictable dental implant care that you can count on. We want you to bite, chew, and smile with complete confidence!
Metal Free Partials
Minimally invasive, convenient, and discreet. For these reasons and more, patients frequently select metal free partial dentures for their tooth restoration. Metal free partials are removable porcelain restorations that blend with the natural color of your tooth enamel. Because they are made with the finest porcelain, your metal free partial dentures are strong enough to withstand even the toughest treatment. They blend well to adjacent teeth, making them nearly undetectable by the naked eye. If you have lost any teeth or need teeth extracted, our Hawthorne dentists recommend metal free partials.
Dentures and Same Day Denture Repair
Suffering from periodontal disease and/or severe tooth decay? If so, dentures may be right for you. Dentures are designed to replace a large area of your mouth where teeth are missing or require extraction. Dentures are a removable appliance and may require overnight soaks as part of routine care. The best part about dentures is that they improve chewing ability, the smile, and self-confidence of patients who may otherwise be afraid to even open their mouths, let alone smile.
Our Hawthorne restorative dentists work with our in-house Master Dental Lab Technician to offer same day denture repairs. That means you can enjoy strong, properly fit dentures in no time at all, without having to rely on outside dental labs.
Hawthorne Sedation Dentistry
Apprehensive about your upcoming dental visit? There’s no need to be afraid. The gentle touch of our Hawthorne dentists, combined with extra efforts to keep you comfortable, are enough for most patients to alleviate their fears. For very nervous patients, we recommend sedation dentistry, which we offer in convenient oral conscious sedation or I-V sedation. Both methods are incredibly safe, easy, and effective. Plus, while you are still conscious during care, you are in such a relaxed state that you are likely to have little to no memory of all the dental work that took place.
Best of all, our Hawthorne dentistry provides FREE sedation for extensive dental work!
Hawthorne Orthodontics
Did you know crooked teeth is not just a cosmetic issue, it’s also an oral health issue? That’s because crooked teeth, overbites, under bites, cross bites, and other severe orthodontic issues are more difficult to care for, often leading to gum disease and bone structure issues in the face. This is especially problematic in Hawthorne children and adolescents, who may need professional help in guiding their growth and development.
This is why braces are so crucial. And our Hawthorne orthodontists can creates braces for patients of any age using traditional methods or even discreet ceramic materials. Because we want you to show off that beautiful smile, without any embarrassment.
Be sure to ask about our new Hawthorne patient special for braces!
Invisalign
Actors. Teachers. Parents. CEOs. Senior business management personnel. What do all these people have in common? These are groups of people that often do not consider braces when they need orthodontic correction because of their appearance. There are times when even ceramic braces aren’t appealing to them. For those who need the most discreet option, we offer Invisalign, the invisible way to straighten teeth without brackets and wires. Our Hawthorne Invisalign specialist Dr. Baktari will provide you with a new Invisalign tray every few weeks. These trays can be removed for easy eating, brushing, and flossing. Best of all, when you smile, no one can tell you are wearing them. So you can be as confident as you need to be while still getting the orthodontic correction you deserve.
Don’t forget to mention our new Hawthorne patient special at your first appointment: braces and Invisalign starting at just $59 per month!
Instant Orthodontics/DaVinci Veneers
For patients needing minor orthodontic correction, here’s an option you may not have concerned: porcelain veneers. That’s right! More than just a cosmetic dental option, DaVinci porcelain veneers can fix crooked teeth, giving a straighter and whiter appearance, for the smile that’s just right for you. Our Hawthorne dentists can custom-fit you with DaVinci veneers in as little as two visits, with treatment time rarely exceeding two weeks! Think about it: a great straight smile in hardly any time at all. Don’t wait! Schedule your initial consultation today!
Hawthorne Endodontics
How therapeutic can root canal “therapy” actually be? I mean, isn’t the procedure incredibly painful? These questions stem from common misconceptions many patients have about root canals. The truth is, modern endodontics are virtually pain-free. The reason the treatment is called root canal therapy in the first place is because it relieves the pain you’re experiencing from a damaged tooth, rather than causing pain. Our Hawthorne endodontist Dr. Goren is board-certified and will go to great lengths to be as precise as possible, saving your natural teeth, and maintaining your comfort during the entire root canal procedure, which often takes only a single visit to complete.
Hawthorne High Tech Dentistry
Thanks to dental lasers, noisy and painful drills are now a thing of the past! That’s because our Hawthorne dentists can use soft tissue dental lasers for a wide variety of treatments such as treatment for periodontal disease, gum recontouring, crown lengthening, tooth-colored fillings, and more. Procedures done with lasers often take less time to complete with much less discomfort. Be sure to ask about laser dentistry when you visit our office.
Treatment for Gum Disease
Most dental patients have some form of gum disease. This is usually brought on due to family history, history of tobacco use, medical conditions that make it more difficult to care for your gums (diabetes, heart disease, etc.), and poor dental hygiene habits at home. Thankfully, our Hawthorne dentists can assist you with periodontal therapy known as scaling and root planing. This procedure removes all of the harmful bacteria from under and on the gum line, allowing your gums to heal and periodontal inflamed pockets to diminish. In addition, our Hawthorne periodontist can assist you with the most severe cases of periodontal disease, bone and gum regeneration, dental implant placement, and cosmetic reshaping of the gums to enhance the beauty of your smile.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
All of our Hawthorne dentists take every measure to save your natural teeth. Unfortunately, there are times when even root canal therapy is not an option and a tooth must be extracted and replaced. This is usually the result of severe decay, periodontal disease, crowding, or a requirement for orthodontics.
Simple extractions require only local anesthesia and gentle pressure to carefully remove the tooth without causing pain or discomfort. For more serious extractions, oral surgery may be required. In these cases, our oral surgeons will go over the procedure with you in depth and let you know about sedation options available. In the case of impacted wisdom teeth, these teeth are below the gum-line, so an experienced oral surgeon will make an incision and carefully remove the impacted tooth.
If you’re concerned about wisdom teeth, it’s best to see us right away. Left untreated, some wisdom teeth can create problems with surrounding teeth, such as crowding and infection.
Children’s Dentistry
Our Hawthorne dentists enjoy seeing patients of all ages as well as entire families, to care for everyone’s unique dental needs. In the case of children, we usually see kids by age 3. At your child’s first visit, we will monitor oral health, growth, and development while establishing good dental health habits early on. We always work closely with parents in a common goal: your child’s beautiful, healthy smile.
Cleanings and Check-Ups
Has it been more than six months since you’ve visited a dentist? Then we really need to see you. Regular visits to your Hawthorne dentist are critical to maintaining the health of your smile. Every six months (or more often if recommended), our hygiene team will conduct a thorough cleaning of your teeth and gums, which along with routine brushing and flossing, will ensure you a clean, gum disease free mouth, for a lifetime.
Be sure to ask about our new Hawthorne patient special: cleanings, exam, and x-rays just $38!
Breath Control
What use is a beautiful smile if you have bad breath? Believe it or not, bad breath is more than an unlucky trait, it is a dental health issue that needs to be examined and treated by a Hawthorne dentist. We have a wide variety of prescription strength breath products and can employ in-office procedures as part of your cleaning or cosmetic care, to get your breath as fresh as possible. Because nothing complements a great smile better than the sweet scent of fresh breath.
Digital X-Rays
What’s so great about digital radiography? In a word, everything! Just like traditional film x-rays, digital radiography creates x-ray images of a patient’s teeth, face, and jaws. However, digital x-rays do not rely on film or development materials. That means digital radiography is safer for the environment, because it does not require harmful chemicals as part of the process. In addition, the x-rays appear on a computer, which means they can be enlarged and enhanced for a more improved viewing. As a digital file, these x-rays are also easier for our Hawthorne dentists to share among one another, especially great for more complicated cases involving multiple specialists. Best of all, the amount of radiation exposure is reduced by 80 to 90%, making digital x-rays safer for you and your family.
