Dentist that makes house calls – Mobile X-rays, checkups, and more
“House calls” were once a staple of healthcare. This convenient, highly personalized, and warm approach to care is alive and well at Royal Dental Practice. Dr. Roya Shoffet and our team bring care to your doorstep, courtesy of our mobile dentistry services. We appreciate that many patients and caregivers who have difficulty getting to our office in the West Hills area of Los Angeles, California may be wondering exactly what these services entail, and are happy to provide a glimpse into ways to keep your family smiling without the stress and hassle.
Are checkups included?
Routine X-rays, comprehensive oral exams, oral cancer screenings, and professional cleanings are the backbone of a healthy, attractive smile. We want to keep you or a family member on a healthy schedule of regular checkups. Since certain medical conditions and the medications used to treat them are risk factors for tooth decay, gum disease, and other damage, those who could benefit from concierge mobile services may need more frequent checkups. Dr. Shoffet evaluates each patient’s medical and dental history and other factors to determine the most appropriate schedule for them.
How are X-rays done at my home?
We use a portable, digital X-ray machine. This handheld machine captures and displays clear and detailed images of the teeth, gums, and jawbone instantly. Digital technologies also do not present additional safety concerns for vulnerable populations, because they are associated with less radiation exposure than conventional X-rays or radiographs. Dr. Shoffet uses another mobile technology, digital intraoral imaging, to capture high-resolution, real-time views of the inside of the mouth. Intraoral camera technology is particularly helpful when communicating needs and treatment options to patients and/or caregivers. Dr. Shoffet can point out specific issues and show or demonstrate how certain treatments may be helpful and why they may be needed.

Is mobile dentistry for seniors?
Mobile dental care is for anyone who has difficulty getting to our office or staying comfortable in the treatment chair. While patients of all age groups can benefit, mobile dentistry can be particularly appealing for seniors. As patients age, they may encounter new challenges with traveling to and from our office and with getting the care that they need. Dr. Shoffet is extremely passionate about caring for the unique needs of seniors. Additionally, she is uniquely experienced and skilled at helping patients with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, mobility issues, neurological conditions, and other barriers to care that often affect aging populations. She looks forward to discussing your or a family member’s needs with you!
Request an Appointment
Can I be treated at my home, too?
It depends on the nature of your needs and the type of treatment that Dr. Shoffet recommends. Many preventive, diagnostic, denture, and appliance services can be delivered from the comfort of home. However, restorative and emergency services are done on a case-by-case basis. For instance, fillings and extractions are delivered via mobile dentistry on a limited basis. Don’t worry, though! You can still get concierge-level care outside of the confines of our mobile services. We can provide customized accommodations, extended appointments, coordination with other members of a patient’s care team, and more.
