 We work with most PPO insurance plans and can bill them regardless of where you live. Our insurance coordinator will verify your “out-of-network” benefits prior to your arrival so there are no surprises.

 Distance does not mean disconnection. Dr. Vafa provides comprehensive Remote Post-Op Care. We utilize secure video conferencing and digital imaging to monitor your healing process from thousands of miles away. If a hands-on adjustment is ever needed, we can coordinate with a trusted colleague in your local area to ensure your results remain perfect.

 Absolutely. We believe in a collaborative approach to your health. We are happy to send detailed treatment reports, digital X-rays, and surgical notes to your general dentist back home. This ensures that your local provider is fully informed and can maintain your new smile during your regular check-ups

 Yes, and this is actually the preferred method for our traveling guests. By utilizing IV Sedation (administered by our Board Certified Anesthesiologist, Dr. Khandabi), we can combine treatments—such as extractions, implant placement, and restorative work—into one or two longer, comfortable appointments. This minimizes your travel time and maximizes efficiency without compromising safety.

We believe world-class care should be accessible. We work with third-party financing partners like CareCredit and LendingClub, which allow approved patients (US residents) to pay for their treatment over time. For international patients, we offer transparent, upfront pricing and accept all major credit cards and wire transfers, so you can plan your budget with certainty before you fly.

 Los Angeles is a global city, and our office reflects that diversity. Our team is multilingual, and we are accustomed to welcoming patients from diverse backgrounds. If you have specific language requirements, please let our Concierge Team know during your initial booking, and we will do our best to accommodate you or facilitate translation services to ensure you feel completely understood.
