Joseph Goodman DDS, DMD

One of the biggest misconceptions of patients is that cosmetic dentists are not general dentists. Before becoming a cosmetic dentist - a dentist who focuses on the esthetic, the bite, the comfort and the restorative aspect of your smile makeover - the dentist has to perfect the art of general dentistry, in fact he has to be a master of general dentistry before he can call himself also a cosmetic dentist. My philosophy as a dentist is and always has been to respect the tooth and preserve as much tooth structure as possible. Whether in preparation for porcelain veneers, for dental crowns or any kind of dental restoration, I strive to minimize the amount of tooth reduction. It is for that reason I have perfected the art of minimal preparation

What makes your practice special when compared with others in the area?

Honesty! We pride ourselves serving the Bevely Hils area for 20 years and having patients come to our office from near and far. We offer specialized services such as veneers, crowns and implants and Invisalign. We provide general services such as cleanings, x rays and fillings (we are a mercury free dental office and don't do any silver amalgam fillings) We provide a comfortable and welcoming environment, having a friendly and knowledgeable staff, offering flexible payment options, and utilizing the latest technology and techniques.

What are you and your team proud of at your practice?

When patients drive for 4 hours to get their dental services done in our office, when patients fly in from other states and even countries to visit our office on south Beverly Drive.
