Serving Westlake Village
The hardest part of dental care is usually not the treatment itself. It's the logistics: finding someone who sees your kids and you, handling the surprise toothache on a weekday, and avoiding being sent across the county for a specialist. For Westlake Village families, 805 Dentistry keeps those pieces under one roof at our Thousand Oaks office, led by Dr. Dar Radfar, DDS. We built our practice to be a one-stop shop for the whole family's dental needs. We also have a strong focus on sleep apnea and TMJ treatment.
The question we hear most from Westlake Village patients is simple: can you really handle everything here? For the large majority of needs, the answer is yes. Our general dentistry team sees children and adults of all ages. That covers routine visits like dental exams, cleanings, cavity detection, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants. Our on-site dental lab supports restorative work such as crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and dentures, so you have fewer outside handoffs along the way.
Our practice also includes specialists who often require separate offices elsewhere. We have a board-certified endodontist, a board-certified periodontist, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist, and a board-certified dental anesthesiologist on staff. Many of our specialty services, including endodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, and orofacial pain care, accept patients without a referral. If you live in Westlake Village and already know what you need, you can usually come straight to us.
Dental problems rarely wait for a convenient time, and that is a real concern for busy households. We offer emergency dental appointments, and our endodontic team offers same-day emergency appointments. They treat cracked teeth, traumatic dental injuries, and root canals on front teeth, premolars, and molars. If a previous root canal is causing trouble, we also perform root canal retreatments and apicoectomies.
Another common concern is anxiety. Some Westlake Village patients put off care for years because a dental chair feels overwhelming. Our board-certified dental anesthesiologist provides anesthesia specifically for patients with dental anxiety. Options include:
- Nitrous oxide for light relaxation during routine visits
- Oral sedation for a calmer, deeper level of ease
- IV sedation for longer or more involved procedures
- General anesthesia when the situation calls for it
We'll talk through which level fits your treatment and comfort before anything begins.
Care for Every Age and Stage
Westlake Village families often include toddlers through grandparents, and our services reflect that. Our pediatric dentistry care serves children ages 4 to 14, and parents are welcome in the treatment room. Space maintainers, sealants, and sports mouth guards help protect growing smiles. For orthodontics, we offer traditional metal braces, Invisalign, and other clear aligners for both children and adults. We also accept orthodontic transfer patients and provide retainers for patients treated elsewhere.
For adults, we offer care that ranges from gum disease treatment, scaling and root planing, and gum grafting to dental implants, All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants, implant-supported dentures, and full mouth reconstruction. On the cosmetic side, we provide porcelain veneers, composite bonding, in-office and take-home whitening, and digital smile design. Patients dealing with jaw clicking, locking, jaw-related headaches, or chronic facial pain can see our orofacial pain team. We also offer sleep apnea treatment, which remains a core focus of our practice.
Insurance, Financing, and Getting Started
Cost is a fair question, and we answer it directly. We accept all major PPO insurance plans, and we welcome self-pay patients. Financing is available for treatment that doesn't fit neatly into one month's budget. Some of our specialty departments file claims as specialists and others as general practitioners. Our team can explain how that affects your coverage before you commit to care.
Getting started is straightforward. Call our office to schedule a visit, and tell us whether you're coming in for a checkup, an urgent problem, or a specific treatment. If you have records or imaging from another provider, let us know. Our radiology team provides 2D, 3D, and CBCT imaging, and we can review outside scans when that helps. From your first appointment, we'll lay out what we found and the options available, so you and your Westlake Village family can make clear, confident decisions about your care.
