- Teeth CleaningRegular cleaning of your teeth is very important for your mouth and your overall health. It can help prevent cavities, tartar build up, and gum disease, and it will also help keep your smile looking fabulous. Regular professional cleanings are essential for children, as well, to ensure their teeth continue to grow in strong and healthy. White smiles, healthy gums and teeth, and less of a likelihood of cavities – all benefits of regular teeth cleanings!
- Fluoride TreatmentAs a parent, you want to do everything you can to give your child advantages in life, including the self-confidence of a bright, healthy smile. Hawthorne Dental understands, and that's why we use the latest equipment for the most comfortable procedures and attractive results. We offer the following: gentle cleanings, fluoride treatments, gentle injections, topical anesthetic gels, sedation, natural-looking fillings, and white fillings.
- Fillings
- VeneersChange your smile with porcelain veneers! This procedure is frequently featured in the show Extreme Makeover with dramatic results.
- CrownsOver time our teeth begin to weaken and become more susceptible to problems, such as decay, cracks, discoloration and others. In cases when a tooth is decayed or weakened/cracked beyond repair with a filling or bonding, a crown (cap) may be necessary. If you feel your smile isn't what it once was, crowns can help you recover your smile.

- Restorative DentistryDr. Verny founded Hawthorne Dental & Braces with a focus on quality dental care, superior patient care and affordability of dental and orthodontic care for everyone. He is a Bruin for life, having earned both graduate and undergraduate degrees from UCLA and UCLA School of Dentistry. Dr. Verny specializes in restorative dentistry and orthodontics. He often coordinates patient care among multiple specialists in the practice.
- Root Canal TreatmentAdvances in technology have made this notoriously painful procedure significantly faster and less stressful. In the past, if you had a tooth with a diseased nerve, you'd probably lose that tooth. Our experience with root canal treatment may allow you to save that tooth and avoid the extraction.
- Deep CleaningDeep cleanings may be recommended to some patients. If plaque and tartar are left on teeth, they provide the right conditions for bacteria to thrive. These bacteria irritate the gums, which then bleed more easily. You may notice this if you are brushing your teeth or eating, and sometimes your gums may bleed. Also, you may observe bad breath, swollen or receding gums. These are signs of gum diseases called Gingivitis and Periodontitis. To stop gum disease from progressing, we advise periodontal therapy or deep cleaning. This gets rid of the bacteria in the gums and provides the necessary conditions for healing to occur.
- DenturesWhen many or all teeth are missing in a person's mouth, full or partial dentures may be the solution. Dentures provide excellent appearance and are a very economical solution in replacing multiple teeth.
- Dental ImplantsDental implants are changing the way people live, and people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life! Dental implants represent one of the most important advances in dentistry. They offer patients with missing or extremely damaged teeth the opportunity to once again enjoy a beautiful smile.
