Simple Dental is a two-location family dental practice serving South Gate, South Los Angeles, and the surrounding communities of Lynwood, Cudahy, Bell Gardens, Downey, and Huntington Park. Our doctors are graduates of the USC School of Dentistry, and our offices on California Avenue and South Vermont Avenue are built around a single idea: dentistry should feel simple.
That word is intentional. The thing patients tell us they want most from a dentist is to know what's happening, why it's happening, and what it costs. The practice is built around that need.
A lot of people in our community have been talked into treatment they didn't need, or out of treatment they did. They've sat in a chair while someone in a mask used words they didn't recognize. They've gone home unsure whether what they paid for was the right thing.
Simple Dental was built to be the other option. Plain language, clear treatment plans, and a team that treats you the way we'd treat someone in our own family. For most of us on staff, this neighborhood is family.
Your first visit is a cleaning and an exam. We use digital imaging instead of older film X-rays, which means less radiation and pictures we can show you on a screen, in the room, while you're sitting up. You see what we see.
If we find something, we walk you through your options, what they cost, what your insurance is likely to cover, and what happens if you wait. You decide. We don't sell work you don't need.
A routine cleaning takes about an hour. A same-day crown takes one visit instead of two: you walk in with a damaged tooth and walk out with a permanent crown bonded in place. We design and mill the crown on-site using CAD/CAM equipment, so there's no two-week wait wearing a temporary.
Our doctors trained at the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry at USC, one of the most respected dental programs in the country. Both offices run on the same equipment standard: digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and same-day CEREC crowns.
We mention the technology because it changes what you experience in the chair: less waiting, fewer return visits, fewer surprises. It isn't the point of what we do. Your teeth are.
We handle most of what a family needs in one place, so you're not bouncing between offices:
Both offices share the same doctors, the same standards, and the same approach. Pick the one closer to you.
