Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a durable, natural-looking solution for missing teeth. Using titanium posts integrated into the jawbone, we restore both function and aesthetics. This treatment prevents bone loss and adjacent tooth movement while offering permanent stability for crowns or dentures. Ideal for patients seeking long-term tooth replacement that mimics natural tooth structure.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry transforms smiles through veneers, bonding, and contouring. We address discoloration, chips, and misalignment while maintaining natural tooth structure. Treatments like Emax veneers and resin bonding correct color, shape, and spacing issues. Each plan prioritizes aesthetic harmony with facial features, ensuring results that enhance confidence and oral health.
Clear Aligner Therapy
Clear aligner therapy straightens teeth discreetly using custom plastic trays. This orthodontic solution addresses crowding, spacing, and bite issues through gradual tooth movement. Patients receive new aligners every two weeks, with treatment durations varying by case complexity. Ideal for adults and teens seeking invisible orthodontic correction without traditional braces.
Sleep Dentistry
Sleep dentistry offers anxiety relief through oral and IV sedation. We accommodate nervous patients and complex procedures like wisdom extractions. Oral sedation involves pre-appointment medication, while IV sedation requires an anesthesiologist for deeper relaxation. Post-procedure patients need accompaniment home but benefit from stress-free treatment experiences.
Family Dentistry
Family dentistry serves patients from infancy through senior years. We emphasize early education on brushing techniques and preventive care. Services include first tooth visits, fluoride treatments, and age-specific examinations. Our approach creates positive dental experiences for children while managing complex needs of adults, ensuring continuity of care across generations.

Who ever thought going to the dentist is not fun.My experience at Laguna Hills Dentistry disproves that theory. The doctors and staff are super caring and extremely knowledgeable not to boot, most efficient. Don't believe me. Take them for a spin.

Report
Dr. Vivian Khouri is by far one of the worst dentists I have had the misfortune of coming across. She possesses no professionalism, she will make you uncomfortable, and she seriously lacks skill. She will ruin your teeth and over charge you for it. She filled "cavities" in my teeth, that I've been told were unnecessarily filled. She unintentionally cemented a metal wire into one of my cavities, and she didn't even fix it when I went back in. I have had chronic pain since she messed up my teeth. Stay away from her!
