Comprehensive Dental Care

As a patient at Summit Dental Arts, you can rest assured that Dr. Steven Tran can provide you with the most comprehensive dental experience in the area. His knowledge in all aspects of dentistry enables him to compassionately discuss all your treatment options with you.    

You may require some small fixes to return your mouth to a healthy, functional state. Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing damaged or decayed teeth to restore their functionality and appearance. This includes procedures like fillings, crowns, and bridges to ensure you can maintain a healthy bite and smile.

Many patients just require preventive dentistry! Together, we can aim to avoid dental issues before they arise through regular cleanings, checkups, and proper oral hygiene practices. It’s all about keeping your teeth and gums healthy to prevent decay and gum disease.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Dr. Steven Tran is an expert cosmetic dentist and would welcome the opportunity to discuss procedures like veneers, bonding, and teeth whitening. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of teeth, gums, and your smile, all to help you achieve a more confident smile.

Family Dentistry

We care for patients of all ages at Summit Dental Arts. We make it convenient for families to receive dental care in one place. Services range from routine checkups to more advanced procedures customized to meet the needs of children and adults alike.

Traditional dental braces are used to straighten misaligned teeth, fix bite issues, and improve overall dental health. Braces use metal wires and brackets to apply constant pressure to gradually shift teeth into proper alignment.

Similar to braces, clear aligner therapy involves a series of custom-made, removable aligners that gradually straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces, these aligners are nearly invisible and can be taken out for eating and brushing.

Invisalign

Invisalign is a popular brand of clear aligners that can be used to straighten teeth without the use of metal brackets or wires. Invisalign aligners are custom-made and changed out regularly to shift teeth into place over time.

Root Canals

A root canal procedure treats an infected pulp of a tooth. By removing the infected tissue, cleaning the canal, and sealing it, the tooth can be saved from extraction and function restored.

Crowns

Dental crowns are caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their shape, size, and strength. Crowns are often used after root canals or when a tooth is severely decayed or broken.

Emergency Dentistry

Summit Dental Arts provides immediate care for sudden and urgent dental issues, such as severe pain, broken teeth, or infections. These services are critical for preventing further damage and relieving discomfort.

Veneers

Another of Dr. Tran’s favorite dental services is veneers! Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of teeth to improve appearance. They’re commonly used to address discoloration, chips, and gaps in teeth for a flawless smile.

Do you clench or grind your teeth? Night guards are protective devices worn during sleep to prevent grinding or clenching, known as bruxism. They help reduce damage to teeth and alleviate jaw pain or headaches associated with grinding.

Tooth Extractions

Sometimes, the only way to treat certain dental issues is by having the tooth removed. Tooth extractions involve the removal of a tooth due to damage, decay, infection, or crowding. In some cases, extractions are necessary to prevent further oral and overall health complications.

One Dental Home for Every Stage of Your Smile

Your dental needs can change over time. A child may need cavity prevention, a teenager may benefit from orthodontic care, and an adult may want to repair a damaged tooth or replace one that is missing. Summit Dental Arts provides comprehensive dental care in Altadena so patients can receive coordinated treatment from a team that understands their history, priorities and long-term goals.
Having a consistent dental home also makes it easier to identify changes early. Instead of treating each concern as an isolated problem, Dr. Steven Tran evaluates how the teeth, gums, bite and jaw work together. This whole-mouth approach supports treatment planning that is practical, personalized and focused on preserving healthy tooth structure whenever possible.

Care Built Around Your Priorities

There is rarely only one consideration when choosing dental treatment. Appearance, comfort, timing, durability and budget can all influence the right decision. Our team explains the condition we find, reviews appropriate options and answers questions before care begins. Whether your goal is to stay ahead of future problems or address several concerns at once, you will receive a clear plan organized around your needs.
Patients who feel nervous or who have postponed dental care are welcome. We take a respectful, judgment-free approach and can divide treatment into manageable phases when clinically appropriate.

Modern Planning for More Efficient Visits

Digital X-rays, 3D imaging, digital impressions and in-office technology can provide detailed information without relying on older, less comfortable methods. These tools help our team evaluate dental conditions, communicate recommendations and plan restorations or orthodontic care with greater precision. Technology supports the process, but every recommendation still begins with a conversation and a clinical examination.
