Los Angeles holds 3,343 listed practices in total, so this guide narrows to what is recorded inside Tehrangeles: the streets, the ZIP codes, how long practices have been registered, and which specialties you will need to leave the neighborhood for.
What is listed in Tehrangeles
Of the 39 practices, 29 list general dentistry. The specialist listings are spread thin: four in pediatric dentistry, four in orthodontics, and one each in oral and maxillofacial surgery, periodontics and prosthodontics, plus one recorded as a dental clinic.
Westwood Blvd is the main address with 11 practices. Veteran Ave has five, Selby Ave four, Camden Ave three and Midvale Ave two. The listings fall in two ZIP codes, 90024 and 90025.
Thirty four are individual practitioners and only five are organizations. Eighteen of the 39 were registered before 2010, so a little under half of this list has been on the register for more than fifteen years. The oldest registration in Tehrangeles dates to 2006.

How to choose between them
With 34 of 39 listings registered to a named individual, most of your options are small practices where you are likely to see the same dentist each visit. That suits continuity, though it can mean fewer appointment slots and less cover when your dentist is away. Ask what happens if you need to be seen while they are out.
For routine care, work through the general listings and ask which procedures are done in house. Four pediatric and four orthodontic listings give families and anyone considering braces a real local choice, which is more than many neighborhoods offer.
Do not treat registration age as a ranking. It tells you how long a practice has been on the register, not how good it is. Use it only to sort long established addresses from recent arrivals.
If you need something Tehrangeles does not have
The one specialty absent from this neighborhood is endodontics. The nearest listings are in Beverly Hills, about 2.8 miles away, where 26 endodontic practices are recorded. Many general dentists carry out root canals themselves, so ask locally before assuming you will be referred.
For everything else, the surrounding area is unusually rich. Westwood Village has 172 listed practices 0.6 miles away, West Los Angeles 62 at 0.7 miles, and Westwood 41 at 0.8 miles. Sawtelle Japantown has 45 at one mile, while Rancho Park has eight and Holmby Hills three, both at 1.3 miles.
In other words, if a Tehrangeles practice cannot see you soon enough, the alternatives start under a mile away and run into the hundreds.
Insurance and paying
In network versus out of network is what decides most bills. In network, the fee has already been negotiated by your insurer. Out of network, the practice sets its own fee and your share tends to be larger, even for a covered treatment. Ask when you book, then confirm with your insurer, because plans differ within the same company.
For anything beyond a checkup, ask for a written estimate listing the procedure codes, the practice fee, the expected insurance payment and your balance. With so many practices within a mile, a second estimate is easy to obtain.
Our listings hold registration details only: name, address, specialty and registration date. They carry no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. None of the 39 Tehrangeles practices has claimed its listing or published a website or hours here, so the practical details still come from a phone call.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost crown or pain that has kept you awake, call as early in the day as you can and ask specifically about a same day slot. Twenty nine general listings sit within two ZIP codes here, and Westwood Village adds many more within half a mile.
Some symptoms need a hospital rather than a dentist. Go to an emergency room if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if breathing or swallowing is becoming hard, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop. These suggest an infection spreading or a bleed that needs medical treatment first.
When you would rather search by distance than by neighborhood, dentist directory orders practices by how far they are from you.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are listed in Tehrangeles?
The directory lists 39 dental practices in Tehrangeles, across ZIP codes 90024 and 90025. Twenty nine list general dentistry, four list pediatric dentistry and four list orthodontics. Westwood Blvd holds the largest single group with 11 practices, followed by Veteran Ave with five and Selby Ave with four.
Where is the nearest endodontist to Tehrangeles?
Endodontics is the only specialty missing from the Tehrangeles listings. The nearest are in Beverly Hills, roughly 2.8 miles away, where 26 endodontic practices are recorded. Before traveling, ask your general dentist whether they perform root canals in house, since many do and a referral may not be necessary.
Are most Tehrangeles dentists solo practices?
By registration type, mostly yes. Thirty four of the 39 listings are registered as individual practitioners and only five as organizations. That usually means smaller practices where you see the same dentist each visit. The trade off can be fewer appointment slots, so it is worth asking about cover when your dentist is away.
