A preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions. Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet.
A comprehensive dental exam will be performed by your dentist at your initial dental visit. Examination of diagnostic x-rays (radiographs): Essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss. X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions. Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.

Dr. Dillon is a rare find and this was by far my favorite dentist experience thus far in Los Angeles. Since I moved to the west coast, I honestly have not been as consistent with my dental care because I simply haven't found a dentist or an office I like or trust. That was not the case today! I highly recommend this place from the customer service to the quality of care, you won't find a dentist that takes more pride in his work!!

Dr. Tom will not only diagnose and treat your dental problems/issues, he will calm your mind and put you at ease when you visit the dental office. My family went through hundreds of dentists throughout my childhood, adolescence and early adulthood none of whom ever made a positive impression on any of us. I discovered Dr. Dillon about 12 years ago and have been going to him ever since. You don't have to wait long, service is quick and thorough, and you leave with a sense of satisfaction that your problem has been resolved or at the very least have a better understanding of your situation.

I needed to get a root canal, and have never really had dental work before, other than cleanings, and to hear the words "root canal" made me so nervous.
Even before he got started, Dr. Dillon explained to me, first, how i got the root canal and, and second, explained how long it was going to be and what he would be doing.
The procedure, which by the way he is extremely thorough, wasn't as bad as I expected it to be.
He then color matched what my crown would look like, with my natural teeth and now can't even tell the difference.
His staff is friendly, and professional.

I am some one who hates the dentist always have but I can honestly say I love coming to Dr Dillon wish I knew about him 30 years ago! He is very friendly and an honest true dentist who cares about you not your insurance or what can you afford. His staff is wonderful also. He likes to make sure his patients are comfortable and doesn't want you to be in any pain what so ever. I hope he stays in practice for a long time now that I am coming to him ! He even saw my son on short notice who was here from AZ and gave him information his dentist didn't bother to tell him which now he is in bad

Dr. Dillon is a wonderful dentist! I went to him for a second opinion after another dentist gave me a long list of procedures I supposedly needed. Going to him was the best decision I could have made. It turns out I did not need everything the other dentist told me. Dr. Dillon also prioritized what I needed so that I could stay within my insurance limit. He is very honest and conscientious, traits that are difficult to find in dentists nowadays. In addition, he tried his best to make sure I was completely satisfied with his work, which I was. He is gentle, makes you feel very comfortable, and

Went to Dr. Dillon's office for the first time a few weeks ago and had the best dental experience I've had in a long time. Little to no wait in the waiting room, staff is very friendly and Dr. Dillon is pleasant and didn't try to upsell any of their dental services, which is a first, and very appreciated!
I was happy with the deep cleaning I received and pretty much found my new favorite dentist. :)

Dr. Tom has been my dentist for a very long time now. He is what I like to call a true artist of his craft. This man will go out of his way to make sure that whatever work is to be done will be completed to the highest quality. He will spend the time and effort to complete the work perfectly. If you are looking for truly quality work, go to Dr. Tom.
Additionally, he is the most fair dentist that I have ever met. He'll tell you the way that it is. No overcharging. No work that doesn't need to be done. You get the straight story on what is going on inside your mouth. He'll tell

Dr. Dillon is wonderful and his staff always top drawer. It is a professional dental office that really cares.
One tends to be nervous when you go to the dentist. It is calm in the office and there is not a room full of people waiting to be seen. You are not rushed in or out. They are all kind and courteous in the office and I like it that there is an x-ray machine in the office.
Years ago I went to another dental office in town. They would ask me every time if I was a new patient (!).
On a personal note, years ago when I was divorced and on the dating scene, he gracefully asked if I wanted to

Let me start by saying that I have always had a fear of going to the dentist until I started going to Dr. Tom. He is very gentle, professional, and honest. Dr. Tom always goes out of his way to make sure that I am relaxed and comfortable. I have to say that I don't feel like a patient but a friend to Dr. Tom and his staff. My visits always start with a "How are you doing?" and "How is your mom?" Overall, Dr. Tom and his staff are friendly, caring, and competent. I always recommend Dr. Tom to friends and family. Truth be told, I drive fifty miles to see him and wouldn&apos

I went to see Dr. Dillon for a second opinion on some dental work that my current dentist was recommending and I could not believe what a difference it makes when seeing a dentist that is not after your money and actually is really concerned about your teeth! My current dentist was recommending a crown, fillings, and even stated that I had some gum disease. Well come to find out after seeing Dr Dillon that my teeth and gums are in great shape and he advised me not to get any dental work as it was not necessary at all. In fact, he said the fillings that I were recently done were not even necessary
