About Westside Dental Care
Care first. Treatment second.
Our story
How Westside Dental Care got here
Dr. Sarah Chen opened Westside in 2008 after training in Taipei under a mentor who taught her that the first ten minutes shape everything. She chose a quiet stretch of Wilshire Boulevard to prove dentistry could feel unhurried. What set Westside Dental Care apart from the start was a refusal to treat the basics as afterthoughts — doing the careful, unglamorous work that earns trust, and treating every client the way the founders wished they had been treated. 16 years and more than 1200 patients later, that conviction still runs Westside Dental Care. The team has grown, the work across Santa Monica has too, but the promise is unchanged.

To show patients that excellent dentistry and genuine comfort are not opposites.
