Lab on siteCrowns and dentures finished here, often in a day
At Shine Dental, new patients are not just visitors but valued members of our dental family. We will also be straight with you about whether we are the right practice for this particular treatment.
Aligners are sold on the finish and rarely on the demands. They work at around twenty-two hours a day of wear, and at less than that they mostly do not.
We would rather have that conversation before you start. Your first appointment is a scan, a projection of your finished position, and a straight answer about whether aligners or fixed braces suit your case — including the answer that says treat it closer to home if that genuinely makes more sense for a year of short, frequent visits.
Check-ins recur every few weeks across the treatment, around twenty in total. That is a real factor on a seventeen-minute commute, and worth weighing rather than treating as an afterthought.
We treat adults and teenagers alike.
Around twenty short check-ins across the treatment. Route 110 slows through the Melville corridor at either end of the working day.

Questions from West Hills patients
Is it worth the drive for aligner treatment?
Only you can weigh that. It is many short appointments over a long period, and we will be straight with you about it.
What if aligners are not right for me?
We will say so at the scan appointment rather than after you have committed.
Do you treat adults?
Yes, and a good share of our aligner patients are working adults rather than teenagers.
Which insurance plans do you accept?
We accept most major PPO plans and file claims for you. Because coverage varies by employer, call with your card in hand and we will verify your benefits and explain costs before anything is scheduled.
Can you see me today if I am in pain?
Call as early in the day as you can. We hold room for urgent visits, and a broken tooth, lost crown, swelling or sharp pain gets priority.
I already have a dentist. What is involved in switching?
Give us the name of your current practice and we will request your chart and recent X-rays so you are not paying for duplicate imaging. Your first visit is an exam, a conversation about what you want fixed, and a written plan.
