Dental Cleaning in Los Angeles and Checkups
Painless dental cleanings with the best dental hygienists in Los Angeles at Mid-Wilshire Dental Care.
The best defense for tooth decay is great dental hygiene! Tooth decay starts when bacteria gets stuck in the teeth and gums. This bacteria causes tartar and plaque buildup. We recommend that everyone should brush twice a day and floss at least once a day. However, even with regular brushing, plaque and tartar can build up in hard to reach, hard to clean areas. Therefore, regular dental check-ups and cleanings are essential to make sure that your teeth, gums, and jaw are healthy and clean. If you leave the buildup for too long, the substance will calcify and it can only be removed with special tools. If left without treatment, plaque and tartar will lead to tooth decay and a myriad of other issues. Prevention is not the only reason for cleanings.

What Are the Advantages of Dental Checkups?
Dental cleanings work as a form of preventative dentistry, stopping bacteria before they can cause harm or damage to your oral health. To maintain a healthy mouth, you should attend dental checkups at least twice a year. Some of the main advantages to attending dental cleanings include:
Regular dental checkups help identify cavities, infections, or other concerns before they become serious problems.
Oral health is linked to your overall health—routine care can lower the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and more.
Professional cleanings and care contribute to whiter teeth, fresher breath, and greater confidence.
Early intervention and proper oral hygiene help stop gingivitis and periodontal disease before they advance.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Bijan Afar for several years now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received. He is patient, knowledgeable, and very detail-oriented, always taking the time to explain everything clearly and make sure I feel comfortable. His professionalism and gentle approach make every visit stress-free. I truly trust his expertise and highly recommend him to anyone looking for excellent dental care.Posted on saloomeh sutoodehTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So, I decided to go big and get veneers on 20 teeth, pretty much my whole smile, and Dr. Bijan Afar in LA made it worth every penny! He showed me this cool digital preview first, so I knew exactly what I’d get. The process was smooth, didn’t hurt a bit, and when he put those veneers on? Oh my gosh, I looked like a movie star! They’re so natural, no one can tell they’re not my real teeth. Dr. Afar’s a genius—5 stars, no question!Posted on Azita ShahinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dentist is truly amazing! His service is excellent, and he genuinely cares about the health of my teeth. I had composite work done over 3.5 years ago, and it still looks and feels as fresh as the first day, such high-quality work! He’s professional, gentle, and always takes the time to make sure everything is perfect. I’m very thankful for his care and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled dentist.Posted on shaini sarkarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Doctor Afar healed my periodontal complication without surgery and in the most cost effective way which NO OTHER dentist (more than 5) could.Posted on Jamie gambleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came in with advanced periodontitis, a lot of infection and bone loss had set in… A result of not seeing a dentist since I was a young child, not to mention the fear that came along with it. So Dr. Afar suggested the All-On-4 dental implant procedure. Dr. Afar and his wonderful staff did for me what most dentists said they were unable to do and at a financially flexible price point. It was a process most definitely, but the end result was more than I could ever ask for. I look 10 years younger. I get more kisses now than I did when I was a teenager! I would even go as far as stating that my overall health has improved. Dr. Bijan Afar and Mid-Wilshire Dental are most definitely a Godsend! With Grateful Appreciation, J.G.Posted on sabababi sabababiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great office! Dr. Afar and his staff are delightful and Friendly. They make you feel very comfortable with your treatment and always try to do what works best for you. If you have been looking for a good dentist, look no further than Dr. Afar at Mid Wilshire Dental Care. HE IS THE BEST!Posted on Shannon BokhoorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I knew from the second I met Dr Afar that I had made the right decision in choosing my dentist. I never had pleasant experiences at the dentist, however Dr. Afar was so patient and caring with me and he took care of me every step of the way. He cleared any confusion or worries I had about my treatment and always took the time to explain everything that was going on in detail.Posted on Ethan StamblerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Going to the dentist is never something I look forward to but the experience at Wilshire Dental Care was all around pleasant. The staff was so professional and took care of everything. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in until the moment I left. I can safely say, I will be coming back to Wilshire Dental Care for all my future dental needs.Posted on ChelseaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After my last implant failed with my old dentist, I was so lost on what to do and who to go to for help. I heard about Dr. Afar from a friend who spoke wonderfully of him so I decided to give him a chance. After my first consultation with Dr. Afar, I knew immediately that I was in good hands. He knew exactly what to do to fix my implant failure. He took care of everything and I did not have to worry one bit. He is the most knowledgeable gum surgeon/dentist out there and provided me with the best treatment possible. Thank you, Dr. Afar!
After I got a word in and told him I just needed the extraction, he stated that, apparently, I did not want to do things the right way and left me with a billing person who said the extraction (with insurance) would be a whopping 700 dollars.
Total scam.
And it is healing great! Leandra the front was the very professional and great customer service! Thank you for the best experience. Also the office had amazing views! Office was very elegant. Very clean office!
