pediatric dentistry.
Cutting-edge care, kid friendly space
We offer state-of-the-art Zirconia white crowns, Ceramic-based white-colored fillings (say goodbye to BPA and plastics!) all in a pain-free environment thanks to our advanced technology. In a recent patient survey, 98% of the patients reported no pain during their procedures — awesome, right?
Sedation and Hospital anesthesia
Dr. Spaulding is a leader in the South Bay in anesthesia services in the hospital setting. He provides regular care at Torrance Memorial Medical Center, Little Company of Mary Hospital-Torrance and Children’s Hospital of Orange County. Dr. Spaulding also provides oral conscious sedation and in-office anesthesia, utilizing a Board Certified Anesthesiologist.
Digital Radiography
When it comes to safety, we’ve partnered with the best in radiology to provide our patients with low-dose digital x-rays utilizing the ALARA technique. We follow the guidelines from the ADA and the AAPD when recommending x-rays for our patients and never prescribe x-rays unless absolutely needed.
Sealants
Your child deserves the best. We offer a 10-year warranty on all our sealants. We understand the importance of sealants and the techniques involved to ensure your child has an effective sealant long after they are needed.
silver diamine fluoride (SDF)
There are times when we need to think outside the box to manage your child’s needs. Fortunately, we are one of the few practices to provide silver diamine fluoride treatment for caries management. We follow the most up-to-date protocol for diagnosis and treatment, and best of all, it’s pain free and highly effective!
frenum and airway evaluation
In recent years, dentistry and medicine have converged to open up the diagnostic, management and treatment options available to infants and children suffering from tethered oral tissues (TOTs) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We evaluate each child for any tethered oral tissues as well as obstructive sleep apnea to ensure our patients can lead the healthiest life possible.
orthodontics.
invisalign
Invisalign treatment consists of a series of clear, customized, plastic aligners. Each aligner is designed to represent a slightly different stage of tooth movement. The aligners are very comfortable and easy to remove to eat or brush. Invisalign is a great alternative to braces for patients suffering from overcrowded teeth, gapped teeth, crooked teeth, or an improper bite. Call today, to see if Invisalign is right for you or your child.
clear Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are a more esthetic alternative to traditional metal braces. They blend in with your tooth enamel and allow you to retain a more natural look. Our clear braces also have a low profile with rounded corners resulting in a more comfortable fit.
traditional braces
Dr. Ariarad uses the most advanced, specialty fabricated, metal braces available for orthodontists. These braces are smaller and more comfortable and help move your teeth more accurately and efficiently. They are individually packaged and only opened when being placed on your teeth, eliminating any contamination.
itero technology
The iTero is a game changer! Dr. Ariarad can create a high resolution and interactive 3D image of your teeth in just minutes without the gooey mess from traditional impressions that cause gagging. This scan is very accurate and used to fabricate custom appliances for your teeth such as retainers, aligners, mouthguards, and night guards. Most importantly, the iTero scanner provides a more relaxing and pleasant environment especially for our younger patients.
complimentary consults
We want you to feel comfortable and confident about the investment you will be making in your child’s smile. We offer a no commitment, complimentary consultation designed to provide you with the best information possible so you can make the right choice for your child.
adult orthodontics
Over the past 20 years, we have found that our parents have been so impressed with the orthodontic care their child received, that they too, begin orthodontic treatment with us. Don’t worry, whether you are 7 or 77, you will be welcome at our practice. We are well equipped to handle even the most challenging orthodontic and surgical cases.
