House calls are alive and well, not a remnant of the past, courtesy of our mobile dentistry services

Throughout a nearly 30-year career in dentistry, Dr. Roya Shoffet-Yaghoubian of Royal Dental Practice has developed considerable expertise in advanced treatments (like implants) and sophisticated technologies (like digital imaging). Dr. Shoffet has also built upon her interest and passion for caring for the needs of seniors. 

As a pioneer in mobile dentistry, she serves not only West Hills but also greater Los Angeles, California, Dr. Shoffet blends both of these favorite aspects of dental care – technical capabilities and exceptional service. By providing house calls and coming to patient services (instead of the other way around), Dr. Shoffet is rolling out the red carpet to seniors and others with mobility issues who deserve so much more from health care.

The royal treatment 

Dr. Shoffet helps to ensure that there are never lapses in care or interruptions in the routine services that support systemic health and quality of life. Numerous serious and chronic health conditions are linked to oral health problems. For instance, conditions like diabetes and heart disease can worsen with periodontal or gum infections. Likewise, it works the other way around; these and other conditions that affect immune function can make us more vulnerable to serious oral conditions such as periodontitis (advanced gum disease). 

By overcoming the transportation challenges of getting to the dentist, our senior patients never miss a single preventative or routine dental check-up. Our team stays ahead of any problems and addresses problems early as we see them before they have progressed to issues that can threaten both the health of patients’ mouths and their whole “selves.”

Dr. Shoffet is also equipped to provide other services on the go, safely and predictably, from the comfort of home. They include: 

• X-rays – We have a nifty, portable, handheld X-ray machine
• Oral cancer screenings – We can detect anomalies that may require further investigation to catch potential cancers before they spread
• Routine cleanings – Our cleanings are gentle and thorough and remove what a standard toothbrush can’t (stubborn plaque build-up)
• Professional preventative services – Fluoride supplements, for instance, help to build up the tooth’s natural armor and can even stop the process of decay in its racks
• A “deep clean” for your gums – Non-surgical Scaling and Root Planing resolves early-stage gum disease without surgery
• Restorative care (limited) – As appropriate, we may be able to fill cavities, remove a painful tooth, or promote gum healing with laser-assisted surgery during a house call

Plus, Dr. Shoffet is highly sensitive to and skilled at caring for the oral health needs of individuals with dementia, Alzheimer’s, and related diseases. Your family member’s comfort, safety, and health are our priority.
