I have been a patient of Dr Shrestha for over 9 years. The other day I went to her new location in Torrance and wow! I was so happy to see how welcoming this facility was- parking was great- and I didn't have to wait long. It's not an easy thing finding a good dentist, so I am incredibly thankful to have Dr Shrestha. Incredible, caring, patient, dedicated dentist.

Great office! Such amazing service! And such a beautiful dental assistant. I had been to many practices where all they really cared about was the money, and you could tell simply by the way you were treated the moment you walked in. The first person you get greeted by walking in was Yancy, she was very kind and explained things to me fully in my treatment plan and answered all the questions I had. As far as meeting Dr. Rosi, she was very gentle and very kind. She did her best to ensure that I was comfortable and experienced the least pain possible. Overall it was a very pleasant experience, and I look forward to continuing my treatment with this office and they're lovely staff.

Had to do a last minute appointment due to a filling falling out and they were able to see me within a week! Dr. Rosi and her staff are extremely pleasant to interact with. They made sure i wouldn't leave without being completely satisfied and comfortable with my fillings. They are very professional and during the more uncomfortable parts of the procedures they made sure it was done swiftly yet correctly and always kept me informed during the process. I Highly recommend Dr. Rosi and her staff to anyone, especially those who aren't the biggest fans of going to the dentist, because they might even make you WANT to go back for the experience.

As you can see she has all 5 star reviews and deserves each one. Everyone in the office is very welcoming & friendly. I highly recommend coming here. If you're the type that feels uneasy about dental visits Dr. Shrestha will make you relaxed. I even scheduled my next appointment in advance which is something I never do but I trust coming back to Dr. Shrestha. I may be a new customer but I can assure you I will not go to any other dentist.

You must make an appointment with Dr. Shrestha! She takes the time to educate her patients and answer all their questions. Dr. S is a consummate professional in every way and she does everything she can to make you feel welcome in her office. Her office staff is also very warm and welcoming. She's been taking care of my teeth for several years now and I am a more informed patient as a result of being her patient. Plus I am complimented all the time on my gorgeous white teeth (no one guesses they are porcelain veneers!).

I have always had a huge fear of dentists, thankfully I found Dr Rosi!! I had veneers put on my teeth and her hand was so gentle it was a pleasant surprise. I have returned to get a cavity filled, and my teeth cleaned. I highly recommend this office!!!

Dr. Shrestha is the best in the business. Loyal, caring, funny and takes away all your fears of the dentist. I enjoy coming to her (for over 6 years) and all of the people that I have referred to her also enjoy her personality and dentist expertise. If you are looking for a good dentist one you can keep for years, Dr. Shrestha is your dentist! Don't forget to say hi to Yancy at the front desk!

My son had an accidents while ridding his bike and knocked down a tooth, luckily Doctor Rosi was there to help him. She is the best doctor in town, highly recommended and trustworthy. She not only took care of my son professionally but emotionally. We love her.

Having "a few" years of not visiting a dentist, I was referred to Dr. Rosi. Dreading the experience, Dr. Rosi was very down to earth and we had a good time laughing at my own doing of needing an extra extra deep cleaning. The techs are funny and made my time there enjoyable. Dr. Rosi's bed side manner, should make it easy for me to come in regularly and not wait for another "extra extra cleaning"! Thank you Dr. Rosi.

SUFFERING FROM TOOTH DAMAGE? INLAYS OR ONLAYS COULD BE THE RIGHT SOLUTION TO REPAIR YOUR TOOTH DAMAGE
What are inlays and onlays?
Dental inlays and onlays are restorations used to repair rear teeth with mild to moderate decay or cracked and fractured teeth that are not sufficiently damaged to need a crown. This allows us to preserve more of the patient’s original tooth structure.
We only use porcelainor composite resin Inlays and Onlays bonded to the damaged area of a tooth. An inlay is similar to a filling and lies inside the tooth; an onlay is larger and sits on top of parts of a tooth.
When are they used?
Ideal patients for inlay or onlay work typically have too much damage or decay in the tooth structure to be successfully treated using a filling, but have adequate healthy tooth remaining to avoid the need for a crown.
Did you know?
Inlays and onlays are bonded directly into the tooth with special resins and can actually increase the strength of the tooth by up to 75% and can last from 10 to 30 years.
Fillings
A filling repairs and restores the surface of a tooth that has been damaged by decay, fracture, or wear. A dental filling strengthens the tooth. If tooth decay is not repaired at its early stages, it will worsen and additional or alternative dental treatments may be necessary. With proper care and routine oral hygiene, a filling has a lifespan of 5-12 years, depending upon the type of filling material used.
Materials
We use bio-compatible materials for our fillings and we don’t offer silver fillings. We use materials that help stimulate the tooth to make natural dentin to aid in keeping it healthy. Your oral and systemic health is our priority.
Composite fillings are made of a combination of resins and plastic materials which are mixed to color match and blend in with your natural tooth. They are stronger compared to a silver filling due to increased adhesion to the original tooth which distributes chewing forces across a larger amount of the tooth structure and is less likely to crack.
Warning Signs
Tooth sensitivity is the most common early warning sign of enamel loss due to tooth decay. While there could be a number of reasons for this sensation, only your Dentist can diagnose its underlying cause. If a damaged tooth surface is not treated early, your discomfort will increase.
Compassionate Experts
We have decades of experience and have skillfully treated thousands of patients with amazing restorations and smile makeovers. Many happy smiles!

HEALTH FACTS
Should I replace my old silver fillings?
In our practice, we have seen a lot of problems that occur beneath these old silver amalgam fillings. Usually, these problems are not easily seen from the surface of the tooth or with X-Rays and is primarily caused by decay getting below the fillings and cracks in the teeth.
We know from research that silver fillings don’t actually strengthen teeth at all. So a silver filling in a tooth basically acts like a wedge, and when you bite down on the filling the forces are transferred to the surrounding tooth structure. If the filling is close to half of the tooth there is a real chance that the tooth will crack or break.
When Prescribed:
- The surface enamel of a tooth is damaged due to decay, fracture, or wear.
- A tooth’s surface needs to be evened out to improve your ability to bite or chew.
Filling Process:
- The tooth is prepared
- The material is layered
- Each layer is set with a special light
- Once the fillings are complete, it is shaped and polished to feel comfortable
Patient Experience:
After a thorough exam of your teeth, gums and supporting bone structure, Dr. Rosi Shrestha will discuss treatment options with you and answer your questions. If the agreed-upon treatment is a dental filling, your Dentist will:
- Apply a local anesthetic to the affected area of your mouth
- Use a hand-held instrument to prepare your tooth by removing the decayed or damaged tooth surface
- Cleanse the prepared tooth to remove debris and bacteria
- Isolate the tooth using a small, protective sheet called a “dental dam” to keep it clean and free of saliva during your procedure
- Select the dental filling material based on the placement of the tooth, the location of the damaged area of the tooth, and the extent of its surface damage
- Apply adhesives and filling material to the prepared area and shape it to match the look and feel of a natural tooth
- Expose a special hand-held light to the filling material to harden the repaired surface of your tooth
