Meet Candice Adams, Registered Dental Hygienist and one of the trusted faces behind the patient experience. 💛

Candice is not just cleaning teeth. She is your first line of defense against gum disease, cavities, plaque buildup, and oral health surprises you may not see coming.

She takes time to explain what she sees, answer questions, and help patients understand how to care for their smiles at home.

That kind of care matters.

A great hygienist helps make every dental visit feel more comfortable, more personal, and more empowering.

Patients love her. The team loves her. And we love getting to highlight the people who help make this practice feel different.

July 24 is International Self Care Day, and oral health deserves a front-row seat in the conversation. 💆🏽‍♀️🦷

Self care is not only spa days, skincare, rest, and routines. It is also taking care of the parts of your health that affect how you feel, eat, speak, smile, and move through the world.

Your mouth is connected to your confidence, your comfort, and your overall wellness.

Real self care can look like:

Scheduling the cleaning you have been putting off
Addressing sensitivity before it gets worse
Asking questions about your smile goals
Choosing a dentist who listens
Creating a care plan that feels calm and personal

Dental visits do not have to feel cold or stressful. They can feel thoughtful, elevated, and centered around you.

Treat your smile like part of your wellness routine. Because it is.

Missing a tooth should not mean missing out on your confidence. 🦷✨

Dental implants are one of the most trusted options for replacing missing teeth because they are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

No slipping. No adhesives. No hiding your smile.

Just a secure, natural-looking solution that helps restore the way you chew, speak, laugh, and show up in everyday life.

Dental implants may help:

Restore smile confidence
Support natural chewing function
Prevent surrounding teeth from shifting
Create a long-term tooth replacement option
Improve comfort and appearance

Dr. Thompson brings more than 25 years of experience, precision, and artistry to restorative and cosmetic dental care.

If you have been living with a gap in your smile, this is your sign to explore your options.

July 18 is Nelson Mandela International Day, a global reminder of service, justice, leadership, and making a difference in your community. 🌍

For Dr. Thompson, service is not just a value. It is part of the legacy.

He served his country in the United States Navy Dental Corps and returned home to serve his community through the art and precision of dentistry. He is a proud HBCU graduate of Grambling State University and Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry, a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., and one of the few African American dentists serving Beverly Grove, Los Angeles.

For more than 25 years, his mission has remained steady: provide world-class care with dignity, excellence, and respect for every patient who walks through the door.

Service. Excellence. Community.

That is the legacy being built, one smile at a time.

“Dr. Derrick Thompson, WOW! What an amazing experience and so accommodating hands down. He has a plush operation and a great dental team. Who knew!”

Thank you, Monique D., for the kind words. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Who knew a dentist visit could actually feel like that?

We did. 😌

This practice was built on the belief that every patient deserves to feel cared for, comfortable, informed, and genuinely seen. Not rushed. Not judged. Not treated like just another appointment.

From the moment you walk in, the goal is simple: create a dental experience that feels elevated, personal, and centered around your confidence.

Summer is iconic, but it can be tough on your teeth if you are not paying attention. ☀️

Here are 4 things your dentist wants you to know this season:

Pool chlorine can be acidic and may affect enamel over time.

Lemonade, iced coffee, sparkling water, and citrus drinks can contribute to enamel wear.

Chewing ice can lead to cracks, chips, and tooth sensitivity.

Dehydration can cause dry mouth, which increases cavity risk.

The good news? A few simple habits can help protect your smile. Rinse with water after swimming, use a straw for acidic drinks, skip chewing ice, and hydrate throughout the day.

Summer should be about good memories, not emergency dental visits.

Want to keep your smile in peak condition all season long? Schedule your checkup today.

Clear aligners don’t just straighten — they prepare the foundation for better cosmetic outcomes. Aligned teeth enhance symmetry and ensure veneers, whitening, and bonding look their absolute best.
Alignment is beauty and function working together.
