Looking for a dentist near Westwood? Beverly Hills Aesthetic Dentistry treats Westwood 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. That background shows in how she works. She explains what you need, what it costs, and why. Nothing starts before you have seen the plan and agreed to it.
Where is the closest dentist to Westwood?
Beverly Hills Aesthetic Dentistry sits at 435 N. Bedford Dr, Suite 414. The office is a short drive east of Westwood Village. Wilshire Boulevard runs straight from Westwood into the Beverly Hills Triangle. Bedford Drive sits two blocks north of Wilshire. You get one dentist, one chair, and one set of records that follows you.
Westwood covers far more than the campus. Our patients come from the Wilshire Corridor high-rises and the streets near Holmby Hills. Others live along Westwood Boulevard, in the neighborhood many call Persian Square. Some work at UCLA or the medical center nearby. What they share is a schedule with no slack in it. They want a dentist close to home who does not rush.
How long is the drive from Westwood to Beverly Hills?
Most Westwood patients reach the office in about 12 minutes. Wilshire Boulevard is the direct route east. Santa Monica Boulevard works when Wilshire slows down. Little Santa Monica runs parallel once you cross into Beverly Hills. We open at 7:00 am on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Early slots let you finish before traffic builds.
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, since the schedule has not slipped yet. Call the office and we will give directions from your street.
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. We separate needs from wants in plain language. Urgent work comes first, important work next, and optional cosmetic work last. You decide the order and the pace.
Can cosmetic dentistry look natural rather than obvious?
Yes. Dr. Hanam-Jahr designs cosmetic dentistry around your face and your age. Whitening lifts color in one visit. Veneers correct chips, gaps, and worn edges. Bonding repairs small damage the same day. The aim is work no one identifies as dental work. Results vary from patient to patient, and she will say what yours is likely to be.
Many patients arrive worried about looking overdone. That concern is reasonable and we take it seriously. Dr. Hanam-Jahr shows the conservative option before the larger one. Age matters in the design as much as shape or color. Teeth that suit a face at 35 look wrong at 60. Good cosmetic work accounts for that rather than ignoring 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. You will not be moved between providers, because there is one dentist here. Many Westwood patients come to us after years of feeling rushed elsewhere. Tell us at booking if past visits went badly and we will allow extra time.
