Exceptional Dental Care for The Entire Family
Having a dental practice that caters to your entire family is more than simply convenient. It also allows Dr. Shay to administer exceptional care that takes medical history, genetics, and potentially inherited behavior into consideration.
At our Monterey Park office, we can address any number of dental issues, regardless of their complexity. This includes many forms of gum disease, decay, damaged, and tooth loss. We offer the following services, fully custom for toddlers, children, teens, adults, and seniors:
Exams and Cleanings are necessary every six months. While you’ll still need to perform daily oral health care at home, regular cleanings allow us to remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing can miss.
Digital X-Rays and Dental Technology are vital diagnostic and preventive tools that help us gain valuable information about your smile’s oral health during routine examinations and care.
Our Kodak digital x-rays delivers precise images of your smile’s structures while detecting any hidden dental abnormalities safely, using 90% less radiation than traditional dental x-rays.
Our BIOLASE™ water and gum dental laser helps us deliver cavity, gum disease, and cosmetic treatments comfortably while significantly decreasing pain during treatment and reducing healing time after procedures.
Prevention, Communication & Patient Education are crucial aspects of dental visits. Respectful, honest, and open communication helps your family understand the importance of daily oral hygiene and its role in promoting a lifetime of healthy smiles.
We believe that when your child, spouse, and grandparents are informed about dental care and necessary treatments, they’re more likely to feel confident about caring for their teeth and gums between dental visits.
Cosmetic Dentistry Services work to improve and enhance your teeth, gums, and, bite. Our cosmetic solutions, like teeth whitening, crowns, and veneers, can all be tailored to exceed your needs by focusing on your smile’s aesthetics, like shade, shape, size, alignment and overall appearance.
Dental Restorations focus on reestablishing the essential health, function, and strength of your smile in addition to enhancing overall appeal. Our team exclusively uses the latest in tooth-colored materials, like zirconia and white composite resins to provide beautiful and safe treatment.
Dental Implants have been considered the gold standard for replacing one to all missing teeth within a smile since their invention in the 1950s. By only using Nobel Biocare’s patented titanium implants, we can completely replace missing teeth permanently, from root to crown.
Dr. Shay can also ensure predictable and successful implant placement by using the Nobel 3D cone beam precise guided surgery guide.
Root Canal Therapy may be required to save a tooth when inner infection threatens its longevity and health. During treatment, Dr. Shay removes the decay and infected tissues, fills the root canal chamber with antibacterial material, and then seals the tooth from further harm. Depending on the extent of previous damage, we may apply a filling or crown for lasting protection.
Gum Disease Treatment is essential when active periodontal disease is present. Deep cleanings, also known as scaling and root planing, remove tartar below the gum line and help prevent further infection from developing into periodontitis, the damaging form of gum disease.
TMD Therapy helps to relieve the pain, discomfort, and potential dental health issues of disorders impacting the temporomandibular (jaw) joint. TMD is not a single disorder, but a group of conditions that often develop from an uneven bite, crooked smile, tooth clenching, and grinding (bruxism).
If you’re experiencing headaches or soreness in the temples, neck, jaw, upper back, and shoulders, we provide custom treatments with nightguards, oral appliances, and even surgery.
Snoring & Sleep Apnea Treatment is important for helping patients with this common yet serious condition. To help you or a loved one get better sleep for good, we can help diagnose sleep apnea and provide oral appliance therapy, alternatives to CPAP machines, and custom nightguard and mouthguards.
Sealants can be used as a preventive measure, often for protecting young smiles against decay. This thin plastic-like material is coated over teeth to provide a shield against harmful bacteria known to cause cavities.
Fluoride Treatments can be applied topically using a specialized gel to strengthen existing enamel. Fluoride can also help remineralize teeth.

We understand dental visits can come with feelings of intimidation and fear. Dr. Shay listens to your concerns to gain a clearer picture of your goals and establishes trust through respectful communication while educating your family about the importance of oral health and routine hygiene. We also work closely alongside you to help eliminate dental fears and anxieties in yourself or your children.

You’ll likely be asked to fill out a health history form. Please try to answer these questions as completely and honestly as you can, as this information will be the foundation by which our team will know how to best approach your oral health treatment.
This disclosure of your dental and medical history is essential to ensure your treatment will follow the best course of action for your needs.
Our dentist will check the different parts of your oral structures for any signs of abnormality. X-rays will be taken to help us clearly see the details of your smile that may have been missed during past check-ups.
