Improved Dentistry Through Technology
I have incorporated high-tech procedures and equipment in my practice to assist me in treating my patients more comfortably and efficiently.

Intra-Oral Camera
I use a tiny TV camera to project your tooth onto a monitor. In this way I can show you what I see, so we can jointly discuss your treatment options. This high-tech addition to my office has received constant praise from my patients. The magnification it provides is also an invaluable quality control tool.

Digital X-ray Technology
Enhanced image quality for better diagnostic appllications at a fraction of the radiation exposure.

Dentistry with Elisa Feinstein D.D.S.

We WELCOME Dr Elisa Feinstein to our practice!

Dr. Feinstein graduated from UCLA with a BS in psychology,  a Masters degree in Nutrition, and a minor in Environmental Science. She received her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1975 also from UCLA.

Dr. Feinstein is expert in cosmetic dentistry including full mouth reconstruction. Her passion is the prevention of dental disease; preferring treatments that allow the body to heal itself rather than invasive procedures. In her practice, she uses the most up to date technologies in restorative, endodontic, and periodontal therapies.

Dr. Feinstein has been in the forefront of the latest advances in dentistry. She was among the first ten dentists in America to implement the Dental Endoscope for the diagnosis and treatment of advanced periodontal disease without surgery.

As an adjunct to comprehensive cosmetic and periodontal treatment planning, Dr. Feinstein offers Invisalign Orthodontic treatment at our office.
