What Is Periodontal Care in Agoura Hills, CA?

Periodontal care treats gum disease, a common but serious condition that affects the tissues supporting your teeth. It begins with bacterial growth, and the early stage, gingivitis, is reversible with proper care. The advanced stage, periodontitis, can lead to tooth loss if untreated, so regular periodontal care is essential for prevention and early detection.

The Benefits of Periodontal Care in Agoura Hills, CA

Healthy Gums

Periodontal care keeps your gums healthy and supports your whole smile.

Prevents Tooth Loss

For years, I’ve been afraid of going to the dentist as anything beyond a cleaning has always been an issue for years. .Many times I couldn’t get through trying to even get a filling.Smile Spa has state of the art instruments and the ability to put me under a twilight so that when I wake up my teeth are done and the idea of having to come back for everything one appointment at a time has been alleviated.I can’t tell you what a relief it has been to know that my teeth are taken care of.Aside from the fact that Dr. Joal and her husband are extremely knowledgeable and such amazing Dentists, they are kind and gentle and truly concerned .And further, their staff is amazing.From the office to everyone.It is a friendly environment, The office is exceptionally clean and beautiful.I brought my son so that he may continue to use them as his Dentist as well.

I am 56 years old and, because I have moved many times in my life, I have been to many different dentists and I can say without hesitation that Dr. Shawn is by far the most superior dentist/periodontist I have ever seen. The work he did in my mouth was absolutely top-notch. His precision, expertise, and attention to detail are truly remarkable.Thank you so much, Dr. Shawn, for such an amazing job. My husband and I think you are a literal prodigy! Not only is your clinical skill exceptional, but your professionalism and care for your patients are evident in everything you do.I have already recommended several friends and family members, and every single one of them has been thrilled with their experience. You are a phenomenal periodontist, and I am so grateful to be under your care. Thank you again!!!

Trusted My Smile to Them for 3 Years—Worth Every Mile!"As a patient of Smile Spa for over three years, I can confidently say this team goes above and beyond. Even after moving to another city, I still make the trip because their care is that exceptional.Recently, I needed a deep cleaning, and they accommodated my tight schedule without hesitation. Doctor Joelle was gentle and explained each step to put me at ease (no judgment here—just expert care. Wanted to also give a special thank you to Docter Shawn for taking care of my mother as I was also in the other room getting care. Docter Shawn has angel hands and has given my mother a beautiful smile. Thank you for making sure her smile is always healthy. The office vibe is always warm, caring, happy, peaceful and most importantly welcoming.It’s rare to find a dental practice that combines this level of skill, flexibility, and genuine kindness. Whether you’re nearby or a commute away, they’re 100% worth it. Forever grateful patient!

Love The Smile Spa. The two dentists are great and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. We were crushed and happy at the same time when our former dentist retired, yes you saw that right, he was my uncle so we're happy that he's retired, much deserved. Crushed because we know finding a good dentist is hard and we did see another dentist in between and that was a very unpleasant experience. Eventually we were introduced to The Smile Spa and now our whole family here in SoCal is being taken care of by them. My dad even got implants done there and I've never seen him more confident when smiling.We don't exactly live in the area but for the care and expertise, the drive is well worth it for us. Besides, I'm out voted by my little bosses anyways as my daughter thinks Dr. Joelle is awesome and my son thinks their office 3D printer and scanners are amazing gadgets. See ya'll for my cleaning soon!

The Smile Spa is by far the most beautiful, clean, and professional office I've ever been to. Everyone there is extremely friendly, compassionate, and proficient at their jobs. The atmosphere and the kind staff at this office really helped ease any anxiety that I did have coming in to get dental work done. I had to get x-rays, an exam, 4 fillings, and a cleaning. It was a lot of work, and I've never had fillings done before. Dr. Shawn, Dr. Joelle, and the rest of the staff at The Smile Spa helped make the entire process really seamless and as comfortable as possible. I was afraid of the numbing injections, but Dr. Shawn was so gentle that the shots were practically painless. I was beyond surprised, because I've had really painful injections done at other offices in the past (I'm sure many of us have). We also discussed Invisalign treatment, and I was able to get Botox injected into the masseter muscle to help with teeth clenching. Everything was done right there at The Smile Spa! No need to hop around to different offices. I normally can barely drag myself into a dental office, let alone going to two additional places to get Invisalign and Botox. The Smile Spa makes it so easy to get everything done that you need done. If it's related to dental health, they do it all right there! I wouldn't go anywhere else, and I'm so thankful I found them. It's really a unique experience. I'm looking forward to coming back to get my Invisalign trays!

I’ve been going to the Smile Spa for over a year and a half now for my biannual checkups, a tooth implant, and wisdom teeth removal, and I’ve consistently been impressed by how accommodating Dr. Joelle Abedad, Dr. Shawn Nguyen, and their staff are for their customers’ needs. They have a text message chat line that allows me to contact them directly with any questions I may have which helps relieve a lot of my anxiety especially after a procedure. The staff have been amazing helping me to navigate my insurance to make sure I’m paying the least amount out of pocket I need to be and they really make an effort to know their customers. They really ensure that their customers are taken care off and given the best treatment possible. Just last month Dr. Shawn made time outside of his regular hours to see me for a last minute emergency which I greatly appreciated.

Dr. Joelle & Dr. Shawn are the most professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, caring and well-rounded dentist I have ever met. They truly are specialists of their craft! I came in to get my wisdom teeth removed, an exam and cleaning. Dr. Joelle numbed me and it was painless. Dr. Shawn had my wisdom teeth out within two minutes or less. The Smile Spa delivers the most cutting edge dental technology and is so updated on modern dentistry. The office was clean, organized and the staff were extremely welcoming and comforting. I am really picky about my teeth and Dr. Joelle always seems to exceed on perfectionism. Nestor, their dental assistant, was very helpful in reducing my fear of getting my teeth removed. I would honestly recommend all my family and friends to come to The Smile Spa. I’ve been to many offices and I’m so happy and relieved I found them. Thank you Dr’s & Staff for such an amazing experience!!!! ❤️

I'd like to share with everyone that this clinic is more than just a medical facility; it's a haven where I find comfort and joy, akin to a second home. Dr. Joelle feels like family to me, and my journey with her began in 2017! Time has flown by, marking the most delightful six years in my dental history. Haha! Dr. Joelle stands out as an exceptional dentist, renowned for her expertise and unmatched friendliness.Believe me, I'm not writing this to simply praise someone I know. In fact, I developed a genuine friendship with her, all thanks to my regular teeth cleanings. 😂 Lol!I wholeheartedly recommend this place to everyone! Their clinic is pristine and modern, conveniently located, and their staff couldn't be friendlier.Cheers! 🌟

I will start by saying I am the "I hate the dentist" person. After a traumatic childhood dental experience, I have avoided to my best ability. I broke a molar and was in significant discomfort and took straight to google/local Mom's groups for referrals. Smile Spa came up and after reading all the reviews, I was sold. I was SO anxious. I had to force myself into the appointment. The team from the front office all the way through the x-ray process made me feel like I was talking to friends or visiting a routine salon appointment.Fast forward to meeting Dr. Joelle and Dr. Shawn and I was immediately at ease. Learned that the tooth I broke was actually my wisdom teeth and had to immediately have them removed within a few days. Here I am one day "post-op" on a deep cleaning and all four wisdom teeth extractions and I can easily say the experience was phenomenal. I will no longer put off going to the dentist as I have found my safe haven! The recovery I am experiencing is nothing like that of peers or family members who have had wisdom teeth removed as an adult, which is an absolute testament to the skill of Dr. Shawn.An absolute heartfelt thank you to all at The Smile Spa that truly left me smiling when all I wanted to do was run beforehand!

Like everyone, I deeply dislike going to the dentist. However, today I walked out of the dentist literally feeling more relaxed than before I walked in.Here’s why: First, the office staff is so unbelievably kind and helpful. They ran my insurance before I came in and again when I was at the office to avoid any surprise bills for me. In this economy, that diligent checking is a huge relief.The office itself is in a new, fresh building. Parking was a breeze. I was seen immediately and everyone was so, so lovely.The X-rays were not your traditional X-Rays where you sit panicking and sweating under a lead vest for what seems like hours as the tech leaves the room to take the picture.They have the newest, latest technology so the x-rays are far less stressful than the outdated techniques.The room I was in was beautiful. Light, airy. Big window with a view of trees and the mountains. So much better than those sad, sickly, dreary spaces I was used to.And best of all? The chair you sit in during the cleaning was a massage chair with heat!!The dentist, Dr. Joelle Abed Elahad, is a true gift to the practice and dental patients everywhere! I felt so secure and she was so fast and so gentle at the same time. I’ve been in a lot of medical offices and I only wish half the doctors I saw were as compassionate.10/10 could not recommend more. See you all in six months!

I had a fantastic experience at The Smile Spa! From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They made me feel comfortable right away, which is not always easy at the dentist!Dr. Joelle was thorough and took the time to explain everything clearly. Not only was the exam top-notch, but she also gave me great recommendations for at-home care to keep my teeth healthy between visits. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their patients’ long-term dental care.I came in for a regular cleaning and whitening and left with amazing results and a smile.

Here is a dental office where you can go and lay down any fears you have about visiting a dentist,. The Smile Spa, with its state of the art CT machine, imagery techniques, crown and cap matching labs, ensures perfect outcomes. But above and beyond these amenities, is the gentle touch of Dr. Joelle and Dr. Sean ( a marriage of dentists) and their lovely assistants who are completely there for you in an un-rushed, clean state of the art office . I have had cleanings and dental work -which has far exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend!
