What Is Soft Tissue Grafting in Agoura Hills, CA?
Soft tissue grafting is a periodontal procedure that addresses gum recession and enhances your smile. When gums pull back from your teeth, they expose more of the root, causing sensitivity, decay risk, and an uneven appearance. Grafting transplants healthy gum tissue to the area of recession, restoring coverage and protecting your teeth.

★★★★★ 5.0 · 162 Google reviewsI’ve had bad dental experiences in the past and did not want to go to the dentist. I broke a tooth so had no choice. My daughter in law and grandson had been to the Smile Spa and had a great experience so I called them for an appointment. I decided to do full mouth restoration to address all at one time. I had surgery 2 weeks ago. Extracted 3 teeth, 6 implants, sinus lift and bone graft. Got my stitches out today. A couple of days of discomfort was all!! Dr. Nguyen is amazing! Luz, his assistant made me feel comfortable. Looking forward to next steps with Dr.Joelle Elahad! All staff is wonderful! Highly recommend!!
My mom and I have been coming to The Smile Spa since they first opened their doors, and we couldn’t be happier with the care we’ve received. Recently, my mom underwent a complete smile transformation that included implants, extractions, and oral surgery. It was one of the best decisions we could have made.Because of my mom’s health conditions, I was understandably nervous about the entire process. However, the doctors and staff were incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and attentive every step of the way. Their expertise gave us complete confidence, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.The level of professionalism, care, and attention to detail was exceptional. We are so grateful to the entire team for giving my mom a beautiful new smile and making what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless. We highly recommend The Smile Spa to anyone looking for outstanding dental care.
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!!!
I visited the Smile Spa recently for a tooth extraction and bone graft during my visit to LA. I was able to see Dr. Joelle and Dr. Shawn on a short notice and they are both very approachable, attentive and patient. They answered all my questions and eased my nerves before / during / after the procedure. Dr. Shawn performed the extraction and bone graft in under an hour, and I could barely feel any pressure, or even pain. The receptionists and assistants were super friendly and welcoming, as well, and filed all my insurance paperwork for me. And the office has all the latest technologies for dental care and esthetics. Do not hesitate to give their office a visit for all your future dental needs!
I can’t even begin to express how awesome this practice is ,they are so welcoming right from the start.And they ease your anxiety right away.I have a lot of work to be done.Just finished with my first oral surgery and it went amazing.I will never go anywhere else ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have had the most wonderful dental experience of my life. I have been fortunate to have come across The Smile Spa during my researching dental implants. When I arrived I was greeted by two remarkable women receptionists. They were as friendly, personable and knowledgeable as I could have asked for. They answered all my questions and made me comfortable which for me is extremely difficult because I am deathly afraid of dentists,because of some bad experiences I’ve had in the past.I was ushered into an examine room where I was greeted by a lab assistant who took x-rays with a handheld devise I was more more comfortable with rather than the large machines I’ve always been frightened of because of my fear of radiation. After the x-rays were completed four medically clad people into the room. They were all very personable and friendly and again made me at ease.Dr. Sean did everything necessary to prepare the implant explaining every detail to me as he evaluated and prepared me for the implant after having previously placed a temporary device onto my tooth. Everything was completed with a half hour and I made an appointment for two week to have the implant done. Each of these people were extremely knowledgeable, comforting and pleasant.The cost of my services and the implant was very reasonable after I had done the cost research. I received services from soup to nuts and couldn’t have been Moore pleased. To make this even better the offices were state of the art, beautiful and warming. Thanks Dr. Sean, Dr. Elehad and staff for this marvelous experience.I wrote the above after I had one of those brand meeting and First getting my preparation for an implant, Yesterday I went into finally get my implant placed. I was anxious, thinking it could be painful even thinking about the possibility of going under anesthesia. However, I always told it wouldn’t be any pain. Just a little pressure and I shouldn’t waste my money on anesthesia. So I would reluctantly, if our doctor Shawn Nguyen to do the procedure after he explained it all to me. He had his sister explained everything as they were doing the procedure me and they can be confident that it was going to be very simple process for within 20 minutes. The implant is placed and tested for comfort and compatibility with the rest of my teeth. Everything was perfect, including my bite and the feeling of having the implant was certainly nice after having almost 2 years to have completed not the cost of anything they did, but because I was sick for all that time it was unable to have Dental workBut it was completed. Dr. Shawn stayed and talk to me for around 20 minutes describing why he and his wife Started their practice and have continued it all this time. They are exceptionally warm, brilliant, and among other things have done things for their community as well as internationally through the Mercy Ship.I am proud that these wonderful doctors decided to open their practice in our community and that they have done more than enough to make their mark in the dental world. After everything was done, I was greeted by one of the most enjoyable receptionist who expresse her concerns about my two-year illness, and how thrilled they were, I was finally well enough to complete the procedure and also that I was feeling so well.Steven Eichberg, Esquire
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.
The smile spa is amazing! I am very happy that I found them. I had such a horrible experience with my past dentist once they handed the practice off to someone new and was searching for a new group to become a patient of. My first attempt at another office was not a good experience either as they were overcharging and doing unnecessary work. My mother heard great reviews of the smile spa so I made an appointment. I am so happy I found them! The doctors and assistants are so knowledgeable and kind and they do NOT do unnecessary procedures. They are extremely warm, welcoming and trustworthy. The front desk staff is also so amazing and friendly and the office is beautiful. It’s been extremely easy to schedule appointments as well and I really love that I am able to text them to schedule! If you are searching for a dentist definitely try out the smile spa. They make me less afraid of going to the dentist as I know they willmake sure any issues I am having are resolved so I can be comfortable again!
I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about The Smiles Spa! This review goes for both of their locations, as I’ve personally visited each one, and the experience has been consistently exceptional every single time.From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel welcomed, comfortable, and truly cared for. Everyone is professional, friendly, and attentive, which makes such a difference when it comes to dental visits.The doctors are incredible, and I have to give a special thank you to Dr. Joelle. Her attention to detail, patience, and commitment to perfection are unmatched. She takes her time to make sure everything is done beautifully and correctly, and you can genuinely feel how much she cares about her patients.It’s honestly so hard to find a dental office you can fully trust, but The Smiles Spa exceeded all my expectations. The quality of work, the cleanliness, and the overall atmosphere are top-tier at both locations.If you’re looking for a place that combines skill, professionalism, and genuine care, this is it. Highly, highly recommend!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I want to preface this review by saying I am not someone who writes these lightly. I’ve had extensive dental work done throughout my life from crowns, a full implant, previous orthodontic work. I’ve sat through procedures that were genuinely traumatic, including feeling every stitch during my implant recovery. I know what bad dental experiences feel like, and I’ve had plenty of them at practices across Southern California. Which is exactly why I need everyone to know about Dr. Joelle and Dr. Shawn.What sets this practice apart isn’t just skill it’s that they genuinely love what they do. They’ve invested in exceptional technology, they communicate every step of the process clearly, and they treat you like a person, not a patient number. Their staff carries the same energy: warm, responsive, and attentive every single visit. On top of that, they’ve clearly thought about every aspect of your experience, including your time. My wisdom teeth recovery was quick enough that it barely disrupted my life, and my entire Invisalign treatment has been trackable virtually, removing the need for monthly maintenance appointments, just real progress I could follow from my phone.My migraines have significantly reduced. Correcting my bite has touched every part of my daily life from the way I eat to the way I sleep to my facial structure. I didn’t know how much I was compensating until I didn’t have to anymore. And for the first time in my life, I actually trust my dental team.
The Smile Spa has been a great experience for me! I had to have my wisdom teeth out that I had been putting off for at least a year, and I came into the office as a new patient. Dr. Joelle gave me a thorough breakdown of my x-rays and made me feel extremely comfortable about the entire process. Dr. Shawn completed the procedure a week later, and it was much simpler and easier than I expected! Made a full recovery in less than a week. Not to mention they are extremely personable and it feels like they genuinely care about you as a patient and as a person! 10/10 would recommend them to any family and friends, easily one of the best dentist experiences I’ve had! Will definitely be coming back for any other procedures. Thank you Smile Spa!
I am a new patient at The Smile Spa, and had my first visit with Dr. Joelle yesterday. The office is beautiful, and the staff is kind, patient, and professional. Dr. Joelle is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to truly explain what was going on with my persistent clicking/popping jaw.I’ve had jaw popping for over 10 years, and no one has been able to clearly explain the cause or offer real solutions. Dr. Joelle was able to provide answers and a treatment option during my visit, which was such a relief. I finally feel hopeful and excited moving forward.I am excited to tell all of my friends and family about The Smile Spa!
