General and Specialty Dental Care Under One Roof
Checkups, repairs, cosmetic work, and gum and implant care from one office on Wilshire Blvd, with a periodontist on site.
How Care Is Organized Here
Most visits start with general dentistry: an exam, a cleaning, and any fillings or crowns you need. When a problem involves the gums or the bone around the teeth, or a missing tooth, it stays in the same office, because Dr. Bijan Afar is a periodontist and oral implantologist, in practice since 1986.
That means one chart, one team, and fewer referrals. If a case needs a specialist we do not have, we tell you and help you find one.
Not Sure Where to Start?
- A toothache, swelling, or a broken tooth: emergency dental care
- Bleeding or receding gums: gum disease treatment
- A missing tooth or a loose denture: dental implants or dentures
- Stained, chipped, or crooked teeth: cosmetic dentistry
- Due for a checkup: cleanings and exams
- Nervous about treatment: oral sedation
Open Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM, at 6200 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 1508, near Hancock Park, Miracle Mile, Fairfax, and Koreatown. We accept PPO plans.
