West Covina, Calif. — The Los Angeles Dental Center has officially relocated its West Covina clinic to a new address at 417 E. Merced Ave., directly across from the 76 gas station, marking a new chapter in its long-standing service to the local community. The newly renovated facility features a more spacious and comfortable layout, along with advanced digital dental equipment designed to enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment efficiency.
The Dental Center continues to focus on serving the diverse needs of the Chinese and broader Asian communities. Its team of dentists and dental staff are fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese, Taishanese, Teochew, and Vietnamese, ensuring clear communication and patient comfort.
The clinic accepts a wide range of dental insurance plans, including Medi-Cal and PPO coverage. Patients with plans such as Health Net and DentaQuest are especially encouraged to schedule comprehensive oral examinations and plan treatments in advance.
Dr. Xiaopeng Cai, DDS, a leading dentist at the Los Angeles Dental Center, earned his dental degree from the College of Stomatology at Jinan University before completing his doctorate at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry.
With more than 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Cai specializes in cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, and dental implants. He is known for developing personalized treatment plans based on each patient’s oral condition, combining expertise across multiple dental disciplines. For complex cases involving full-mouth occlusal reconstruction, Dr. Cai recommends thorough consultation prior to treatment.
In implant dentistry, Dr. Cai utilizes a technique that incorporates the patient’s own blood to extract concentrated growth factors. This approach helps improve bone quality and volume around the implant site, strengthening the foundation of the implant while increasing success rates, reducing postoperative discomfort, and promoting faster healing.
For over two decades, the Los Angeles Dental Center has adhered to the principle that prevention is more effective than treatment. From the eruption of an infant’s first tooth, dentists provide guidance to parents on proper oral hygiene and cavity prevention, as well as nutritional habits that support healthy development of teeth, jawbones, and overall skeletal structure.
Children are encouraged to receive dental checkups and cleanings every six months, with complimentary orthodontic consultations available as part of the clinic’s commitment to long-term oral health.
