Preventive Dentistry in West Hollywood, CA

Understanding Your Treatment
What Is Preventive Dentistry?
Preventive dentistry is the ongoing care that stops dental problems before they start, rather than repairing them afterward. Because most dental concerns are preventable, our hygienists and dentist combine regular cleanings, exams, and protective treatments to keep your teeth and gums stable year after year.
The Benefits
The Benefits of Preventive Dentistry
Protected Gums
Routine periodontal screening catches attachment loss early, well before bone damage and tooth mobility have a chance to begin.
Lower Expenses
Preventive visits are the least expensive care you will ever receive, and they help you avoid far costlier repairs later on.
Healthier Body
Controlling oral bacteria lowers your risk of heart disease, stroke, pneumonia, and complications related to diabetes.
Preventive Dentistry Treatments
Our Preventive services range from routine checkups and cleanings to periodontal therapy and custom protective appliances.
Dental Cleanings
Our hygienists carefully remove plaque and tartar, polish away surface stains, and show you exactly where buildup keeps hiding in your mouth.
Learn MoreDental Exams
At every visit, our dentist checks for decay, cracked teeth, worn dental work, and periodontal infection, including a full oral cancer screening.
Learn MoreDigital X-Rays
Yearly images screen for decay, bone loss, and infection, with a full-mouth series taken periodically to monitor larger changes in your oral health.
Learn MoreFluoride Treatments
A topical fluoride application strengthens tooth enamel, eases sensitivity, and protects exposed root surfaces immediately after your cleaning.
Dental Sealants
Thin protective coatings seal the deep grooves of newly erupted molars, usually around ages 6 and 12, keeping bacteria out of the hardest spots.
Periodontal Therapy
Scaling and root planing cleans below the gumline, and a therapeutic maintenance schedule afterward reduces the risk of periodontal relapse.
Sport Mouthguards
Custom-fitted guards absorb impact during contact sports and lower the risk of traumatic injury to your teeth, lips, and gum tissue.
Bruxism Nightguards
A custom bite splint separates your upper and lower teeth, relaxing the jaw and protecting enamel from the damage caused by grinding.

What Our Patients Say
- ★★★★★
Thank you to Weho Dental studio and Dr Rivas for helping me get over my fear of going to the dentist. Felt immediately at home with her and her lovely staff. From the front desk to the hygienist, I really felt like they genuinely cared about my dental health, rather than some of the other offices I’ve been to that immediately tried to push tons of treatments. Dr Rivas and her staff took care of me, happy to call this my dental home. Thank you for making fillings and a crown a pleasant experience!
- ★★★★★
Dr. Rivas was awesome! Staff are great and friendly. I was surprised that my filling took less than an hour and I did not feel any inch of pain. The procedure was so smooth and appreciate that Dr. Lisa walked me through to every step. Highly recommended!

I reached out to Dr. Rivas regarding the extraction of my number 16 wisdom tooth. My previous dentist referred me to an oral surgeon who wanted to extract the other three wisdom teeth even though I am not experiencing any issues and during that time I never had any consultative discussions with the surgeon. I connected with Dr. Rivas and she was thorough and transparent when speaking over the phone and she shared that she would be able to extract my tooth. During the procedure, she was extremely caring, asked if I was numbed properly, and checked in with me frequently during the procedure. I did not feel a thing and I was shocked on how fast she was able to successfully extract my tooth. I highly recommend Dr. Rivas and her staff and I commend them for their professionalism and caring nature. I live in the Inland Empire and will be driving to West Hollywood since Dr. Rivas will be my dentist moving forward.
