South Bay Dentistry & Orthodontics is a dental practice offering an array of dentistry services, which include:
Because we have our own in-house Master Dental Lab Technician, labs are not only faster but cheaper as well, and we pass the savings on to you. We have great deals — like braces and Invisalign starting at only $79 per month. We also offer free sedation for patients facing complex dental procedures.
Zoom-AP is a whitening treatment we offer for patients seeking a brighter smile; we also offer Lumineers®, the fastest route to a total smile makeover.
