Careful dentistry, explained as we go.
A general and cosmetic dental studio built around one idea: you should know exactly what is happening in your mouth, and exactly what it costs, before anyone picks up an instrument.
Our approach
The appointment you have been putting off.
Most of our new patients have not seen a dentist in years, and every one of them expects a lecture. They do not get one. We start with whatever is bothering you, tell you what we found in plain English, and write down what it costs.
Nothing gets scheduled that you did not agree to. If a tooth can wait, we say it can wait. If we would not do it on our own family, we do not recommend it here.
Why Northbeam exists
We tell you the price before we touch anything.
Northbeam was built for the people of Sherman Oaks who have been quoted one number and billed another. Every visit begins with a conversation, and every plan is written down with a price beside it before anything starts.
The price, in writing
You see the number before we pick up an instrument, and the number on the invoice is the one you agreed to.
One visit where we can
Digital scanning and an in-house mill mean a crown is designed, made, and fitted the same day. No temporary, no second trip.
Nobody gets a lecture
Most of our new patients have not been in years. We start with the tooth that is bothering you and work outward from there.
The team
The people who do the work.
Draws the smile design herself before anyone touches a tooth. AACD member.
Takes the cases other offices call unsalvageable.
Gum health, deep cleanings, and the plan that keeps them working.
Cleanings, sealants, and first visits for nervous adults.
Chairside for every restorative and surgical visit.
Checks your benefits before you sit down and gives you the number, not a guess.
The experience
Unhurried, explained, on time.
A visit to Northbeam runs to time, and the first thing that happens is a conversation. We look, we tell you what we found, and we write down what it costs. Nothing begins until the plan makes sense to you.
We would rather recommend less than promise more. If a tooth can wait, we say it can wait. If we would not do it on our own family, we do not recommend it here.

Your first visit is unhurried, and nothing is scheduled on the day that you have not agreed to.
