New patient exam Downtown Los Angeles. City of Angels Dentistry welcomes new patients with same-week availability — comprehensive exam, digital X-rays, and cleaning at 1127 Wilshire Blvd in Downtown LA.


New patients who come to City of Angels Dentistry for the first time often tell Dr. Kevin Chin they've been dreading finding a new dentist — the process of starting over, not knowing what to expect, wondering if they'll be lectured or pressured. He's been accepting new patients in Downtown Los Angeles since 2018, and his approach to first visits is practical: let's find out where things are, explain everything we find, and give you a plan that makes sense. That's it.
A full set of digital X-rays is taken. Your health history and any current dental concerns are reviewed. This gives Dr. Chin a complete picture before the exam begins.
Dr. Chin performs a full clinical examination of your teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues including an oral cancer screening. Your hygienist then performs a professional cleaning.
Dr. Chin reviews everything he found in plain language — what needs attention now, what can be monitored, and what's in good shape. You leave with a prioritized plan and clear pricing for any recommended treatment.
A new patient exam at City of Angels Dentistry covers everything you need to establish your dental baseline — comprehensive exam, digital X-rays, professional cleaning, and a clear plan from Dr. Chin. Same-week appointments available in Downtown LA.

A new patient exam at City of Angels Dentistry is a comprehensive first visit that establishes your dental health baseline. Dr. Kevin Chin performs a full clinical examination, reviews digital X-rays, and gives you a complete assessment of your oral health — including a prioritized treatment plan for anything that needs attention. New patient exams are available same week in Downtown LA.
The exam includes a full mouth series of digital X-rays, tooth-by-tooth assessment for decay and structural issues, gum health evaluation with probing depths, bite and jaw joint assessment, oral cancer screening, professional cleaning by the hygienist, and a review of all findings by Dr. Chin with a clear treatment plan and pricing.
A new patient exam is more comprehensive than a standard recall visit. Because Dr. Chin has no prior records for a new patient, the exam includes a complete X-ray series and a more thorough baseline assessment. Subsequent visits are typically shorter.
Bring your dental insurance card if applicable, any recent X-rays from your previous dentist if available, and a list of current medications. Arrive a few minutes early to complete new patient paperwork.

Simple same-day treatment is sometimes possible depending on schedule availability and the nature of the treatment needed. Dr. Chin discusses this option at the end of your exam.
Extended gaps are common and there is no judgment at City of Angels Dentistry. Dr. Chin assesses the current state of your teeth without commentary on the gap — the goal is to figure out where things are now and build a practical path forward.
