Teeth Cleaning
read moreProfessional teeth cleaning is an essential part of maintaining optimal oral health. We remove plaque, tartar, and stains from above and below the gumline. This preventive care helps reduce risk of cavities and gum disease. We finish with polishing to leave your smile smooth and refreshed.
Root Canal Treatment
read moreWe deliver root canal therapy designed to treat infected or compromised tooth pulp while preserving the natural tooth structure. Through careful diagnosis and precise treatment planning, we ensure patient comfort at every stage. The procedure removes infection, seals the tooth, and restores functionality, supporting long-term oral health and stability.
Dental Crowns
read moreWe provide custom dental crowns designed to restore damaged or weakened teeth while improving function and appearance. Crowns fully cover the visible tooth structure when fillings are not sufficient. They are carefully matched to blend with surrounding teeth. With proper care, they offer durable, long-lasting protection and support overall oral health.
Dental Veneers
read moreWe provide dental veneers to enhance and refine your smile. These custom shells, made from porcelain or composite resin, are designed to match natural teeth. They are bonded to the front of teeth to conceal chips, gaps, and discoloration while improving overall aesthetics. Veneers deliver a natural look, resist stains, and preserve more original tooth structure.
Teeth Whitening
read moreOur practice delivers professional whitening care aimed at improving tooth brightness and minimizing visible staining and discoloration. We offer both in-office treatments and personalized take-home whitening systems based on lifestyle and goals. Each procedure is performed with a focus on patient comfort, enamel safety, and consistent cosmetic improvement. A thorough evaluation allows us to design a tailored whitening plan that produces reliable, natural-looking results.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
read moreWe provide Invisalign aligners to improve tooth alignment through custom treatment planning. Each aligner set is created using 3D scans to guide teeth into alignment. This approach offers discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces. Because aligners are removable, patients can continue eating and maintain hygiene routines. We monitor progress through visits to ensure effective results.
Emergency Dentist
read moreWe provide immediate dental emergency services for unexpected pain trauma or infection. Our team focuses on stabilizing patients ensuring comfort and performing necessary diagnostic imaging when needed. Treatment options may include temporary relief or same-day procedures depending on severity. We deliver complete solutions with a focus on long-term oral health and restoration care.
Oral Surgery
read moreWe deliver oral surgery services aimed at restoring function and supporting long-term oral health. Our treatments cover impacted teeth removal, dental implant placement, and bone-related procedures. For advanced cases, we collaborate with trusted oral surgeons to maintain continuity of care. We emphasize patient comfort, safety, and clear communication throughout the process from start to finish.
Dental Implants
read moreWe offer dental implant care to replace missing teeth and support restored oral function. A titanium post placed in the jawbone integrates with bone, then receives an abutment and crown. It provides a natural look, lasting durability, and health while preserving surrounding teeth. Includes consultation, implant placement, healing integration, and restoration with a custom crown.

This was the best dental experience Ive ever had in six years. There wasnt a long way there wasnt any add-ons. The doctor told me exactly what I need on second opinion and I got the help. I need it right away without prerequisite in Emergency. I was very afraid that I wouldnt be able to pursue my career. I just finished my degree in humanities and Im about to finish my degree philosophy and transfer to university and I hope to be a paralegal and a lawyer someday and then a judge I want to work for Red Cross and serve humanity because my mom had a rough life. She actually raised me in that community on 135th and Lemoli so its just kind of fate in full circle that you guys were there for me today thank you so much. God bless you and your family. Thank you, Dr. Han, Elaine , Dr.Z i never had a numbing like that i didnt feel a thing! 10 stars. Emily thank you so much.

My first time here and Im so glad I came. Starting with Tatiana, she made me feel so at ease. She was amazing and made sure I understood everything that was going on with my teeth. She broke it down tooth by tooth in a way that was easy to understand.
Dr. Nathan and Vanessa were also awesome! Going to the dentist can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when you need a lot of work done, but they really took the time to explain everything and helped me see a future with healthy, amazing-looking teeth.

My personal experience was with Manny. He welcomed me and without judgement explained what the process would be ( embarrassing to say it had been 12+yrs without seeing a dentist) . Came back for the deep clean and I was afraid. Manny explained step by step ,acknowledging my feelings.He made sure I was comfortable and as calm as possible .Manny made my visit one to remember. Staff is friendly and welcoming, Patty took cake of the insurance breakdown making that part smooth.
Thank you Gardena Dental Group, your team is amazing

Didn't like going to the dentist, cause my last dentist left me traumatized. But my teeth still need work, and after searching Google, I came upon this little gem. The staff was nice, the place was clean, and they knew what they were talking about. My last dentist never mentioned that I was having bone or that one of my wisdom tooth was digging into another tooth. Shout-out to Manny, my attending hygienist, he made the whole experience chill and answered all my questions.

Here at Gardena Dental there's a new Hygienist named Ryan Visico RDH.
He is absolutely amazing. If you just need to stop in to get your teeth cleaned properly make sure to ask for Ryan. You won't regret it!

This place is beyond professional. It explains the insanely high rating it has with more than a thousand reviews. Doctor Tania and her assistant Nathan were absolutely great, they helped me with teeth filings. This is my second time coming in and I did not have to wait in the lobby at all, unlike other places. Definitely recommend.

I value the relationships I build with my patients over time, and I consider it a privilege to be their dentist.
