Pediatric and Orthodontic Offices We Work With

Providing care for children is one of the most challenging and sensitive aspect of dentistry. Kids react to the office setting within an entire spectrum of behavior; from eager and inquisitive to scared and frustrated. We have designed our office to be as welcoming as possible for your young ones with toys, cable TV (Nick, Nick Jr., Disney, etc.) and even a dedicated kid's room (seen in the background of the title photo). Still, there are times that we need to rely on our network of specialists to best meet the needs of your individual child. 

We are proud to work with Dr. Ahsan Raza of 1000 Oaks Children's Dental Group. On top of specialized behavioral management techniques, Dr. Raza prides himself in being an extremely communicative and personal pediatric dentist. He uses a number of techniques, ranging from education to sedation to ensure the best possible dental outcomes. Your kids will love his spaceship themed office too!

In terms of orthodontic offices, we are proud to work with Doctors Nagel Sr. and Nagel Jr. of Nagel Orthodontics and Dr. William Hang of Face Focused Orthodontics. Norm and Jeffrey Nagel bring together over 40 years of experience in orthodontics and pride themselves in combining the best parts of digital and hands-on dentistry. Likewise, Dr. Hang has spent his career developing the Face Focused program, an orthodontic system that develops straight teeth while respecting posture and opening airways. 

If you would like to know more about our fantastic network of specialists, please give us a call. We want our patients to know they are in good hands, whether with us or one of our specialists.

Specialist Spotlight- Dr. Hang and Face Focused Orthodontics

At Thousand Oaks Family Dentistry, we are proud of the network of skilled dental specialists we have created. Whether you are in our office or one of our associates’ offices, know that you will be treated with respect, kindness and experience. Today, we would like to highlight orthodontist Dr. William Hang and his program of Face Focused Orthodontics.

Like every orthodontics practice, Dr. Hang offers a variety of services and appliances geared towards straightening teeth and improving the dimensions and mechanics of your mouth. However, his office goes much further with his Face Focused program. Here, he takes an examined approach towards orthodontics to address a variety of problems with breathing and facial esthetics.

Face Focused Orthodontics is the culmination of Dr. Hang’s decades of research, education and practice. He dedicated his career towards developing orthodontic programs that do not retract the teeth as the patient grows older. His ultimate goal is maintaining good rest oral posture, or the relationship of the jaw, face position and airway when you breathe. Poor rest oral posture can lead to a whole host of problems, ranging from headaches to migraines and even sleep apnea.

For young patients entering orthodontics, Dr. Hang focuses on straightening teeth and improving oral esthetics while respecting jaw mechanics and maintaining airways. He strives to create a smile that both looks and functions great for an entire lifetime. In adults, he often treats patients suffering from headaches, snoring problems and sleep apnea in addition to crooked or crowded teeth. Here, his Face Focused program hopes to address poor facial mechanics and establish great jaw and breathing function. No matter what your ultimate orthodontic goal, Dr. Hang and his staff are attentive, communicative and thorough. His consultation appointments alone often take and hour and a half, including X-rays and Cone Beam CT technology.

We love working with Dr. Hang and his office because they offer a unique and powerful service. Patients travel from all around the world to receive treatment from Dr. Hang, while he is conveniently located minutes away from our office. While he is not treating patients, he can be found lecturing or researching ways to perfect his Face Focused treatment. If you would like to know more about Dr. Hang or any other of our fantastic specialists, please give us a call.  We want our patients to know they are in good hands, whether with us or one of our specialists.

Specialist Spotlight- Nagel Orthodontics

At Thousand Oaks Family Dentistry, we are proud of the network of skilled dental specialists we have created. Whether you are in our office or one of our associates’ offices, know that you will be treated with respect, kindness and experience. Today, we would like to highlight the services offered by Doctors Norman and Jeffrey Nagel at Nagel Orthodontics.

As an orthodontic practice, Nagel Orthodontics addresses the functional and esthetic needs of many patients in almost every age group. Beyond simply “straightening teeth,” they service a number of problems relating to tooth spacing, biting patterns and jaw position. Orthodontists have a deep understanding of dental mechanics and how your mouth could function at its best. Orthodontic treatment can be appropriate or necessary for many ages, ranging from early intervention for severe crowding to mild readjustments for adult patients.

As a father and son team, Doctors Nagel and Nagel bring over 40 years of experience to treating the Thousand Oaks and Simi Valley areas. Between the two of them, they typically work 60 hours a week, making scheduling an appointment convenient and flexible. They pride themselves in treating patients of all ages- occasionally treating three generations of the same family. At their office, the staff members are caring, friendly and happy to accommodate you or your loved one’s needs. You will probably also notice that the door to their back office is never closed- a true sign of their transparency and welcoming atmosphere!

Nagel Orthodontics utilizes electronic charting, digital impression and even cone beam CT scans to better visualise and manage your orthodontic needs. This information can be made available to either of their offices in seconds, allowing you and your family flexibility between their locations. However, they still take the time to address every case by hand, using plaster and metal articulators (a time consuming step typically reserved only for difficult cases). This combination of new and timeless techniques assures that your case is properly understood and treated with expertise.   

We love working with Nagel orthodontics because we know that your case will be handled with utmost attention. They understand the importance of your overall oral health, and work closely with our office to ensure continuous dental care. If you would like to know more about their office, or any of the other specialists we work with, please give us a call. We want our patients to know they are in good hands, whether with us or our one of our specialists.
