About Us
Learn about the history and philosophy of Studio Dental Arts, and why the "health-first" approach is so important to us.
Studio Dental Arts is an independent, family-owned and family-oriented biological dental practice in Studio City (Los Angeles), California. It's actually the result of decades of evolution and refinement which has laser-focused our mission into alternative health and prevention.
Modern health can sometimes be a very challenging puzzle. I remember in my 20's and 30's, like most kids, I felt like "Superman." But I was quickly surprised and humbled by my own personal health hurdles. Visiting a few doctors and specialists, I quickly realized that modern medicine provided little in the way of understanding or addressing root causes of disease. A diagnosis of "rhupus" left me puzzled. So by necessity I was drawn to alternative medicine.
I realized that although dental school taught us that mercury in amalgam fillings is safe, I learned the hard way that it wasn't. Similarly, the food pyramid recommends grains (wheat / gluten) as a primary food source. What a terrible synergism this turned out to be. And with a spontaneously dislocating knee that introducing me to the wheel chair, I knew I had to act fast.
I started asking and observing, reading, researching, and testing. I learned why some people are hit harder by the modern toxic world than others. I learned the biochemical links between cancer or autoimmunity and seemingly trivial issues like snoring. I learned how dental disease is linked to heart disease, for example. And I used this knowledge to heal myself.
So was born my mission: to help others escape the modern-medicine health trap. I was lucky to have both a professional degree and biochemistry degree. But most people don't have time to devote 40 hours a week to their health. Sometimes, it really can be a full-time job to understand and solve modern health puzzles. But I've made it my mission to help bring others "up-to-speed" very quickly.
Instead of the usual dental visit which marks all your cavities on a digital chart, provides textbook recommendations to floss and brush more, and ends with an appointment to drill and fill holes in your teeth, our approach is all about aiming a giant spoltlight onto the root causes of all disease. With understanding comes control. Yes, we'll fix your cavities and gums, and do it extremely well, but we'll do everything we can to help make sure you and your loved ones will never again have dental trouble or any chronic disease.
My father began his dental career in 1976 and had a grand vision for the dental business. He opened Glendale Dental Arts in 1982 from which Studio Dental Arts was born in 2010. His success offered me the freedom and opportunity to realize and fine tune my own goals. My focus was all health. And Studio Dental Arts has allowed me to help thousands of people to get healthier, prevent cancer, diabetes, heart disease, cavities, and gum disease, heal autoimmune issues and other chronic diseases like Parkinson's, improve daily energy, mental clarity, and eliminate anxiety as some other common examples.
I've never been "business-minded," so I operated the office at non-profit levels for most of its life. With the recent global inflation and economic pressures, costs all around have gone up. But I've always wanted to simply help others, so I still provide many services at non-profit levels. Providing biological dental services at fees below nearby conventional (toxic) offices is an achievement we've been very proud of.
Exceptional customer service with the goal to share life-saving knowledge is our passion! Meeting new patients who want to join on this journey is the most rewarding part of our day. We look forward to meeting you and your family!!
