Technology supports the care. It never replaces it.
Dr. Kourosh Yousefzadeh, D.D.S. leads the practice. The equipment below is what lets the team work more precisely.
Technology
The equipment behind the diagnosis
Six tools used at the Downtown office, and what each one changes about your appointment. Every item here is in service of a more precise diagnosis and a shorter visit.
01
3D Cone Beam CT
A low-radiation 3D scan of teeth, jawbone and surrounding structures, giving far more information than standard X-rays for diagnosis and implant planning.
02
iTero digital scanner
A fast, comfortable, highly accurate 3D scan of your teeth. No goopy impression trays required.
03
CAD/CAM restorations
Restorations designed and created digitally for a precise, natural-looking fit, often reducing visits and the need for messy temporaries.
04
Soft-tissue laser
Precise, comfortable gum treatment, often with less bleeding, minimal swelling and faster healing than traditional techniques.
05
Intraoral camera
A small camera that captures close-up images inside your mouth on a screen, so you can see exactly what we see.
06
Digital and panoramic X-rays
Significantly less radiation than traditional film, often up to 80 to 90 percent less, while producing sharp, instant images.
Every tool above is used in the Downtown office.

Helpful Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Insurance, hours, parking, our specialists, and the technology we use.
What is a 3D Cone Beam CT scan?
It’s a low-radiation 3D imaging scan that captures detailed views of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures — giving us far more information than standard X-rays for precise diagnosis and implant planning.
Do you use digital impressions instead of messy molds?
Yes. Our iTero digital scanner captures a fast, comfortable, highly accurate 3D scan of your teeth — no goopy impression trays required.
What is an intraoral camera?
It’s a small camera that captures close-up images inside your mouth and displays them on a screen, so you can see exactly what we see.
How does technology make my visit more comfortable?
Modern tools help us work more precisely and efficiently, which often means shorter appointments, less discomfort, and more conservative treatment that preserves your natural teeth.
Is your equipment up to date?
Yes. We invest in modern, well-maintained technology — from 3D Cone Beam CT and digital scanning to soft-tissue lasers — to deliver the best possible care.
Do you accept my dental insurance?
Smile L.A. is in network with Delta Dental and accepts 17 more plans out of network, including Aetna, Cigna, MetLife, Guardian and UnitedHealthcare. We check your benefits and file the claim for you. No insurance? Our $569-a-year membership covers exams, X-rays and three cleanings.
Where do I park, and can I take the Metro?
We are on the second floor of the PacMutual building at Sixth and Grand, 523 W 6th St #202. Parking is in the building and we validate it. By Metro, Pershing Square station is a four-minute walk. Directions and parking rates.
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes. Book online or call the office. Our New Patients page explains what happens at the first visit, what to bring, and how insurance and payment work.
Can you make crowns and restorations digitally?
Yes. With CAD/CAM technology we design and create restorations digitally for a precise, natural-looking fit — often reducing the number of visits and the need for messy temporaries.
What is laser dentistry?
We use soft-tissue lasers for precise, comfortable gum treatments — often with less bleeding, minimal swelling, and faster healing than traditional techniques.
Are your X-rays safe?
Yes. Our digital and panoramic X-rays use significantly less radiation than traditional film — often up to 80 to 90 percent less — while producing sharp, instant images.
How does technology improve diagnosis?
High-resolution 3D and digital imaging help us detect issues like decay, bone loss, and infection earlier and more accurately than the naked eye alone.
Will technology replace the personal attention I get from my dentist?
Never. Technology simply supports the care your dentist provides — it helps your dentist treat you more precisely while keeping your experience personal and gentle.
When is the office open?
We see patients Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. The office is closed Thursday, Saturday and Sunday; current hours are on our contact page. In pain when we are closed? Call the office and we will give guidance or arrange emergency care.
Do you have specialists in the office?
Yes. Dr. Razmik Galustian is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, Dr. Nariman Saadat, DDS, MD, is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and Dr. Fatemeh Arabpour is a USC-trained endodontist. Gum care, oral surgery and root canals stay in one Downtown office. Meet the team.
