Yes, our dentist makes house calls! Bringing the highest quality dentistry to your bedside

Doctors who make house calls nowadays are unheard of, but this service is alive and well for individuals who live in San Fernando Valley and close by Los Angeles and Ventura County. Our dentist at Royal Dental Practice, Dr. Roya Shoffet, offers mobile dental care for seniors and others with mobility and health challenges. These challenges can stand between the patient and the services that are necessary to be healthy and happy. 

Dr. Shoffet and her team members travel to you and your loved one. And it doesn’t matter if the patient is still residing in their home, or is at a memory care, assisted living, hospice center, or another type of community.

Additionally, we put in the miles to come to you; even if it’s a bit of a drive, we practically bring the dental office to your bedside. Dr. Shoffet knows how important it is for you or your family member to continue to maintain oral health care and dentistry services well into the “golden years,” especially as one’s overall health status changes. 

For instance, the bacteria that causes gum disease can pass through the blood-brain barrier. This process can cause further decline in a patient’s cognitive abilities and make dementia worse. By supporting highly accessible, quality dental care, we are also supporting: 

• Healthy function, be it comfortable chewing or clear speech
• A proud and pain-free smile, free of broken or decayed teeth, mouth odor, and bleeding gums 
• Dignity – the need and desire to have a healthy smile does not change with the passage of time or new diagnoses 
• Systemic health due to the many connections between the health of the mouth and the health of the body
• Mental and emotional wellness, because transportation to and from the office can be intensely chaotic and stressful to the homebound patient and family members

We are able to provide a variety of dental services and procedures that are necessary for health, limited by more complex oral surgeries and major restorative dental work. In these cases, we can arrange transportation to Royal Dental Practice of West Hills, Los Angeles, California.

Dr. Shoffet’s passion for and experience with caring for the oral health needs of seniors and others with health challenges shows and provides substantial peace of mind. Mobile dentistry services are also a fraction of the cost of arranging medical transfers through ambulance services. 

Call (818) 334-6655 with questions and to arrange your home visit.
