Our Comprehensive Dental Services in Universal City, CA

Nuevo Dental provides a complete range of dental services under one roof. This comprehensive approach means you won't need multiple referrals or appointments at different offices.

Emergency Dentistry

Dental emergencies don’t wait for convenient times. Whether you’re experiencing severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, or a dental abscess, our emergency dentist provides prompt relief. We offer same-day emergency appointments whenever possible and provide immediate pain management. Our emergency services include treatment for broken teeth, lost fillings, and acute infections. Don’t let dental pain disrupt your life—contact us immediately for urgent care.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Transform your smile with our comprehensive cosmetic dental services. Our cosmetic dentist specializes in procedures that enhance both the appearance and function of your teeth. We offer porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, dental bonding, and smile makeovers. Each treatment is customized to complement your facial features and personal preferences. Modern cosmetic techniques can address issues like stained, chipped, or misaligned teeth.

Dental Implants

Missing teeth affect both your appearance and oral function. Our dental implant procedures restore your smile with permanent, natural-looking replacements. Implants provide superior stability compared to traditional dentures and help preserve jawbone structure. We handle the entire implant process in-house, from initial consultation to final restoration. Advanced imaging technology ensures precise implant placement for optimal results.

Root Canal

Save your natural tooth with our gentle root canal therapy. This procedure removes infected or damaged tissue from inside your tooth while preserving the outer structure. Modern techniques and anesthesia make root canal treatment comfortable and highly successful. Root canal therapy often eliminates the need for tooth extraction and expensive replacement procedures. We use advanced equipment to ensure thorough cleaning and sealing of the tooth’s interior.

Dental Bridge

Restore your smile’s continuity with custom dental bridges. These permanent restorations replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent healthy teeth. Our bridges are crafted from high-quality materials that match your natural teeth perfectly. The procedure typically requires just two appointments and provides a long-lasting solution for missing teeth. Properly maintained bridges can last many years while restoring full chewing function.

Dental Veneers

Achieve a Hollywood-worthy smile with porcelain veneers. These thin shells cover the front surface of your teeth to correct imperfections like chips, stains, or minor misalignment. Veneers provide dramatic smile improvements with minimal tooth preparation. Each veneer is custom-crafted to match your desired shade and shape. The results look completely natural while being highly resistant to staining.

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening delivers superior results compared to over-the-counter products. Our in-office whitening system can brighten your teeth several shades in just one appointment. We also offer take-home whitening kits for gradual results at your convenience. Professional whitening is safer and more effective than drugstore alternatives. Results can last for years with proper care and occasional touch-ups.

Teeth Cleaning

Regular professional cleanings are essential for optimal oral health. Our skilled dental hygienist removes plaque and tartar that daily brushing and flossing can’t eliminate. Professional cleanings help prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath. We recommend cleanings every six months, though some patients may need more frequent visits. Each cleaning includes a thorough examination to catch potential problems early.
