Cosmetic Dentist - Dr. Jamie Sands

Studio City, Burbank, North Hollywood

Along with my practice, my other priorities are my family and my friends. I grew up in Los Angeles and am currently raising my son here. He attends the same public elementary school that I attended. And, yes, he fights with me about brushing his teeth.

My parents live in Santa Barbara and come down weekly to help with my son when I am at work. My older sister and two young nephews live in Kansas. I recently completed my first marathon and realize that every mile I ran energized me.

In addition to being a dentist and a mother, I am also fortunate to be a volunteer. I have been a volunteer at the Children's Dental Center in Inglewood, California, where our primary goal was patient education. I am currently volunteering with First Five of California.

My first loves are family and cosmetic dentistry. I am lucky to live and work in a city where many people want a beautiful and a healthy smile. However, without the proper dental knowledge and proper patient education, these beautiful smiles cannot be maintained. Therefore, I practice whole mouth dentistry.

My focuses are education and disease prevention. These hold true for the person who wants 28 veneers or for the twelve year old who is in braces. I want everyone to be cavity-free and healthy.

Diet and oral hygiene are large components in my preventive program. Preventive education is done with every patient. I begin treating children in the office at three and care for them into and through their adult lives.

I am grateful to see many of my patients marry and become parents of their own. The true blessing occurs when their toddlers become my new patients!
