Looking for a dentist near Bel Air? Beverly Hills Aesthetic Dentistry treats Bel Air patients from the Beverly Hills Triangle. Dr. Jamielynn Hanam-Jahr has practiced in the same office for over 25 years. One dentist sees you at every visit. Call (310) 276-2088 and we will find a time.
Dr. Hanam-Jahr trained as a nurse before dentistry. She works slowly and explains each step before she starts. You hear what you need, what it costs, and why. Nothing begins before you have seen the plan and agreed to it. That approach suits patients who have been rushed elsewhere.
Where is the closest dentist to Bel Air?
Beverly Hills Aesthetic Dentistry sits at 435 N. Bedford Dr, Suite 414. Bedford Drive runs two blocks north of Wilshire Boulevard. The office is a short drive from the East Gate. That gate sits where Beverly Glen meets Sunset Boulevard. You get one dentist, one chair, and one set of records that follows you.
Bel Air spreads across the hills between Sunset Boulevard and Mulholland Drive. Beverly Glen Boulevard marks the eastern edge, the 405 the western one. Patients come to us from East Gate, West Gate, and Upper Bel Air. The canyon roads wind, so we build extra time into your appointment. Nobody here gets penalised for arriving late off Roscomare.
How long is the drive from Bel Air to Beverly Hills?
Most Bel Air patients reach the office in about 12 minutes. Sunset Boulevard is the direct route east from either gate. Beverly Glen works well from Upper Bel Air and Roscomare Valley. We open at 7:00 am on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Early slots let you clear Sunset before it fills with school traffic.
Friday hours run 7:00 am to 11:00 am, and we close Wednesdays. Every third Friday the office is closed as well. Booking early in the week gives you the most choice of times. Morning appointments also mean a shorter wait once you arrive. Call the office and we will give directions from your gate.
Do you accept PPO dental insurance?
Yes. Beverly Hills Aesthetic Dentistry accepts most PPO dental plans. We check your benefits before treatment starts. You see what the plan covers and what you owe. Financing runs through CareCredit, SunBit, HFD, Alphaeon, and Cherry. Nothing begins until the full number is in front of you. Ask about cost at the first visit rather than the last.
Insurance rarely covers everything, and we say so upfront. Most PPO plans cap annual benefits below the cost of larger treatment. That is a limit of the plan, not a judgment on your teeth. Larger restorative work often stages across two or three benefit years. You decide the order, the pace, and the budget.
Can you replace old crowns and failing dental work?
Yes. Old crowns, worn fillings, and failing bridges are common restorative dentistry cases. Dr. Hanam-Jahr checks the tooth beneath before recommending anything. Sometimes the existing work still holds and needs only monitoring. When replacement makes sense, she matches shape and color to your other teeth. Results vary from patient to patient, and she will say what yours is likely to be.
Older restorations often fail quietly at the margin rather than all at once. Decay can start where the crown meets the tooth. A crown that looks fine may still need attention underneath. That is why we check the tooth, not only the restoration. You will hear the reasoning before any recommendation, and you can decline it.
What should I do during a dental emergency?
Call (310) 276-2088 and describe what happened. We hold time for cracked teeth, lost crowns, and severe pain. Fast treatment often saves a tooth. Rinse gently with warm water and hold a cold compress on your cheek. Save any broken piece and bring it in. Do not wait for the pain to settle on its own.
Dental problems rarely improve overnight, and small ones grow while you wait. A cracked tooth can reach the nerve within days. A lost crown leaves the tooth underneath exposed to decay. Go to an emergency room instead for facial trauma or heavy bleeding. Call even if you are unsure whether it counts.
How do I become a new patient here?
Call the office or request an appointment online. The first visit covers a full exam and a conversation. We take images only when they answer a question. Dr. Hanam-Jahr explains what she sees in plain language. You leave with a written plan and clear costs. No treatment starts that day unless you ask for it.
We keep the schedule light enough to give each patient real time. Bel Air patients often arrive with decades of dental history. That history deserves reading properly before anyone touches it. You will not be moved between providers, because there is one dentist here. Tell us at booking if past visits went badly.
