These sophisticated images enable the detection of interproximal decay, periapical infections, bone density changes, and developing pathologies impossible to identify through visual examination alone.

All I can say is WOW!!! From the moment I made the phone call and spoke with Lisa, my experience has been unreal and so wonderful. Lisa is pleasant and full of knowledge. The office is clean and COVID protocol friendly! I had a cleaning that surpasses all other cleanings that I’ve had in my life - and trust me, I’ve had many! State of the art technology is the name of the game at Chemla’s office!! After my incredible cleaning, I had an exam with Dr. Chemla. He literally talked to me about every tooth that he had a concern with. He walked me through how he’d like to proceed with care. He asked me questions about my life and if I understood all that he said. This is the kind of doctor we all need - kind, gentle, smart and amazing. I’m so grateful for the experience and I can’t wait for my friends and family to become patients!!!

A dear friend and work colleague had recommended Dr Chemla. I hadn’t been to the dentist in 18 months. Prior dentist had given me hard time about gum issues, I was a little nervous going to a new dentist and hearing the same news. Turns out it wasn’t a gum issue and Dr Chemla and his staff explained it very clearly. I was so relieved to find out my problem was fixable and understand exactly what had been going on. I cannot tell you the relief I had from my first appointment with this amazing dentist! I would highly recommend Dr Chemla and his AMAZING staff. They make you feel so warm and welcome from your first encounter with them. I cannot say enough about how detailed this amazing dentist is, and the time he takes to explain everything that is going on. I was also very impressed on how up to date they are with the technology from the teeth cleaning to the full exam! Thank you Dr Chemla and staff! You have changed my life and the way I look at going to dentist. I cannot recommend you enough! 😊😊😊😊

I do not have adequate words to say how much I recommend Dr. Chemla - he is incredibly caring for his patients, very compassionate and understanding. The quality of his work is exceptionally excellent, in my case - creative! I do not think any other dentist would actually take me on with my dental issues and extensive work that he is doing for me for the past 6 years. He will coordinate care as needed with specialists and always goes an “extra” mile to make sure work is completed in the best possible way. It is so very incredible to have such a specialist to care for you not just as a patient, but as a person. I would more than highly recommend Dr. Chemla, absolutely and without reservation. May God bless him in every possible way! 🙏🏻The office staff is also wonderful and helpful in every possible way - scheduling appointments with specialists, even coordinating the prescription for me recently when I could not call during work hours. They also go “extra” mile in every possible way to take care of their patients! Thank you so much to every one of you! 🙂

You've Got Questions,
We've Got Answers

Don't see the answer you're looking for? Call us at (310) 275-1188.

How often should I have dental checkups?

Most patients should schedule dental checkups and cleanings every six months to maintain optimal oral health and catch problems early when they're easier and less expensive to treat. Patients with gum disease, frequent cavities, or other risk factors may need more frequent checkups every three to four months as recommended by Beverly Hills Cosmetic Dentistry.

What happens during a routine dental checkup?

A routine checkup includes a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and oral tissues, along with digital X-rays to detect problems not visible during the clinical exam. Your dentist will also perform an oral cancer screening, evaluate your bite, and discuss any concerns or treatment recommendations.

How long does a dental checkup appointment take?

A routine dental checkup and cleaning typically takes 45 minutes to one hour, depending on your oral health status and the amount of plaque or tartar buildup present. Patients with excellent oral hygiene may require less time, while those needing deep cleaning or additional treatments may need longer appointments.

What types of X-rays are taken during checkups?

Routine checkups typically include bitewing X-rays taken annually to detect cavities between teeth and monitor bone levels around your teeth. Full mouth X-rays or panoramic X-rays may be taken every 3-5 years to get a complete view of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures.

Will my checkup be painful?

Routine dental checkups should not be painful, as they involve visual examination, gentle probing, and professional cleaning with minimal discomfort. Some patients may experience mild sensitivity during cleaning if they have gum inflammation or it's been a while since their last visit.

What should I do to prepare for my dental checkup?

Brush and floss your teeth before your appointment, but don't worry about having perfect oral hygiene as your dentist needs to see your true oral health status. Bring a list of current medications, any concerns or symptoms you've noticed, and be prepared to discuss your oral hygiene routine and dietary habits.

What happens if problems are found during my checkup?

If problems are detected, your dentist will explain the findings, discuss treatment options, and help you prioritize care based on urgency and your budget. Minor issues like small cavities can often be treated immediately, while more complex problems may require scheduling separate appointments.

How often do I need a dental exam and X-rays in Beverly Hills?

Professional guidelines recommend comprehensive examinations every six months for most patients, though individual needs vary based on oral health status and risk factors. X-ray frequency depends on dental history, with bitewing radiographs typically performed annually and full-mouth series every three to five years.

Will insurance cover dental exams in Beverly Hills, CA?

Most dental insurance plans, including our in-network Aetna coverage, offer substantial benefits for preventive services such as examinations and routine X-rays. Our experienced team navigates insurance complexities, maximizing benefits while offering flexible payment solutions for any remaining balances.

Is it harmful to have digital X-rays in Beverly Hills, CA?

Digital radiography produces minimal radiation exposure—less than that of a cross-country flight—while providing essential diagnostic information that is impossible to obtain otherwise. Advanced sensors and targeted beams ensure safety while delivering superior image quality for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
