Come meet the Smile Doctors

Dr. Tinoco and Dr. Simbol take new patients every week, and they'll see you themselves, start to finish.

Dr. Tinoco

Dr. Tinoco

Doctor of Dental Surgery

Dr. Tinoco built this practice one patient at a time, on referrals rather than advertising. Patients describe her approach as meticulous and unhurried — she takes the time to explain what she's seeing before she picks up an instrument.

Dr. Simbol

Dr. Simbol

Doctor of Dental Surgery

Dr. Simbol focuses on restorative and cosmetic work, and on making anxious patients comfortable enough to come back. She sees the same families year after year, and often their children after them.

It's why we've stayed small. You won't find a crowded waiting room here, and you won't have trouble getting an appointment when something hurts.

The best dentist!! We drive quite far to stay with Dr. Tinoco. The office is so clean and professional. All rooms are separated and the service is amazing!

Dr. Tess and her amazing team have been taking good care of my family's dental needs for 10 years now. She's gentle but efficient and thorough. She would give honest recommendations which I appreciate… They are all professional, courteous and friendly.

She even fixed my very front chipped tooth that I was worried about the most. The color matched perfectly… Someone at the office always notifies me about the price I would have to pay before starting any procedure. No "surprise copayments" comes later by mail.

Questions we get a lot

Are you taking new patients?

Yes. Call (310) 530-1175 or send the form below and we'll find you a time.

What insurance do you accept?

We accept most major PPO dental plans. Call us at (310) 530-1175 with your plan name and member ID and we'll verify your coverage before you come in, so there are no surprises at checkout.

What if I don't have insurance?

We'll quote you the cost before we begin any treatment. For larger treatment plans, we accept CareCredit or Cherry financing, which you can apply for in advance.

How do I reschedule or cancel an appointment?

Call us at (310) 530-1175 as early as you can — we'll get you rebooked at a time that works.

What happens at a first visit?

An exam, any X-rays we need, and a conversation about what we found. If treatment is needed, you'll leave knowing what it involves and what it costs.

I have a dental emergency. What do I do?

We don't handle after-hours emergencies. If you're in severe pain, have significant swelling, or have had trauma to the mouth outside our office hours, go to an urgent care clinic or the nearest emergency room.

During office hours, call (310) 530-1175 and tell us what's happening — we'll fit you in where we can.

Where do I park?

There's a parking lot on site plus a parking garage, so you won't be circling the block. We're in Suite 306 at 1403 W Lomita Blvd.
