- Dental ExaminationYou brush and floss just like you’re supposed to and see us regularly for your scheduled examinations and cleanings. Rest assured, you’re doing the right thing! You’re still significantly decreasing your risk of developing cavities.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningAs a part of your regular examination, we will perform an oral cancer screening. This screening is painless and helps us catch oral cancer, an insidious disease that can strike even those who have few or none of the typical risk factors.
- Teeth CleaningAt Lomita-Torrance Dental Office, we provide patients with information on two main types of dental whitening. Some dental offices provide whitening services in the office while others focus on treatments that can be completed at home. An in-office treatment can be done at the same time as a teeth cleaning or during a separate appointment. It is typically completed within an hour and produces immediately white teeth. For many people, this is an ideal solution because of how quickly it is finished.
- Fluoride Treatment
- Dental SealantsA sealant is a protective coating that is applied to the chewing surfaces (grooves) of the back teeth (premolars and molars), where four out of five cavities in children are found. This sealant acts as a barrier to food, plaque and acid, thus protecting the decay-prone areas of the teeth.
- FillingsThere’s been a lot of talk lately about the mercury found in amalgam fillings, and many patients come to us concerned about the metal fillings they already have.
- Resin CompositeTooth-colored fillings are made up of a composite resin. Unlike amalgam (or silver) fillings, composite fillings don’t contain any metal – or any mercury. The filling is applied to the cavity in layers and carefully cured. Composite fillings actually bond with the surface of your tooth. This helps to prevent further cavities from developing underneath the filling.
- VeneersDo you wish to dramatically improve the appearance of your smile? If so, porcelain veneers may be the right solution for you. Conveniently located in Torrance, CA, Lomita-Torrance Dental offers several life-changing, confidence-boosting cosmetic treatments that enhance the beauty and balance of our patients’ smiles.
- CrownsFillings, crowns, extractions and other standard dental services are provided with the utmost care, in a warm and friendly environment.
- Bridges>> Healthier Adjacent Teeth. This is especially true compared to patients who get dental bridges and have adjacent teeth drilled down to fit in crowns.
- Dental BondingDental bonding using materials such as resin is a useful technique for repairing decayed teeth, filling in gaps and chips, and to additively shape teeth. The whole process often takes less than hour.
- Restorative DentistryRest assured that we perform dental extractions with the highest level of care at Lomita-Torrance Dental Office. Not only do we have ways to keep you comfortable and relaxed, but we use dedicated techniques to preserve as much healthy tissue and bone as possible during your extraction. In addition, we will discuss your options for tooth replacement before we initiate treatment. We realize that it is not good for your self-esteem nor your oral health to have a missing tooth for a long period of time. Our Torrance office offers a full range of options in restorative dentistry including bridges, dentures, partials and dental implants.
- Root Canal TreatmentIf hearing the words “root canal” makes you cringe, you’re not alone. But we have good news for you.
- Deep CleaningThe first step in treating periodontal disease after it has been diagnosed is performing scaling and root planing, or deep cleaning. Scaling and root planing is a careful cleaning of the root surfaces to remove plaque and calculus [tartar] from deep periodontal pockets and to smooth the tooth root to remove bacterial toxins. Scaling and root planing is sometimes followed by adjunctive therapy such as local delivery antimicrobials, systemic antibiotics, and host modulation, as needed on a case-by-case basis.
- DenturesDentures and partials are an affordable solution to the problem of missing teeth. Missing teeth can create a number of problems, among them difficulty eating and social stigma. With an attractive set of dentures or partials, we can improve the appearance of your smile and make it easy for you to live your life the way you want.
- Dental ImplantsDental implants are a new technique that allows us to replace your missing teeth with artificial teeth that look and function just like your own natural teeth would. The implants blend in so well with your other teeth that nobody will ever know the difference.
- Oral SurgeryIn addition to our skilled general dental practitioners, we also have specialists in the fields of pediatric dentistry, endodontics, and oral surgery right here in the office and ready to help out with your unique needs.

- Tooth ExtractionsWhile the prospect of tooth extractions can be scary, the actual procedure itself is not as bad as you might think. Advances in dental techniques and an increase in available anesthesia options will make your extraction more comfortable, and we can provide medication to help you with the soreness that can follow.
- Bone GraftingJust about anyone who is missing teeth can benefit from dental implants. If the bone in your jaw has already deteriorated, we can discuss procedures to build up the bone to successfully place your implant. Dr. Teboul is skilled in bone grafting, a procedure in which synthetic bone, donor bone, or bone tissue harvested from your own body is used to restore the bone in your jaw. In time, the donor tissue is integrated into your jawbone, and the site will be ready for dental implant placement.
- OrthodonticsWith their ability to correct cosmetic malocclusion such as issues with tooth spacing and positioning, veneers are sometimes referred to as “instant orthodontics.” Indeed, for some patients, these cosmetic restorations serve as a wonderful alternative to more invasive orthodontic options.
- BracesTry to turn back any loose bracket into its normal position. For loose braces, you may temporarily re-attach them or minimize their movement using a small piece of dental/orthodontic wax. Problems involving loose bands are typically resolved by re-cementing or replacing them. It is important to note that, regardless of the actions you take in these situations, calling your orthodontist right away should remain on top your list.
- Teeth WhiteningProfessional teeth whitening is a simple yet effective way to improve the appearance of your teeth and increase the wattage of your smile. Unlike the kits you can find in the drug store, professional kits are completely customized for your smile and your teeth to give you whitening that is made for your mouth.
- Cosmetic DentistryOur office staff is genuinely friendly and personable, and always willing to help. We emphasize the importance of patient education because we want to make sure you are informed and prepared for your Cosmetic Dentistry treatment. New Patients are always welcome, whether they are South Bay region Los Angeles County natives in Lomita, Torrance, or from out of town. We serve patients from all over the California. We use state-of-the-art technology, and our team participates in continuing education courses in order to keep up with the ever-changing field of contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry.
- General DentistryAt Lomita-Torrance Dental, we pursue all general dentistry options to help restore damaged teeth before we recommend an extraction. However, in some cases, removing a badly damaged or decayed tooth is the only option, or it’s in the best interest of your future oral health. For example, removing a severely decayed tooth can prevent the likelihood of a bacterial infection spreading to nearby teeth.
