I have always been terrified of dental appointments, but after a couple years of neglect I knew it was time to face those fears head on. From the moment I arrived I felt cared for.. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. Janae made me feel completely at ease on all levels, including insurance questions. Dr. Montilla carefully explained everything that we needed to do to take care of my dental issues. He is patient and gentle and has gained my full trust. I like that we are taking care in a heathy manner, not just "covering up" with a quick fix. I'm so pleased to have a dental office that truly cares and I will recommend Dr. Montilla to anyone and everyone.

I previously posted this review under the wrong practice by mistake, so I wanted to repost it here for the correct office. I started going to Dr. Jay M. Schulman’s office when Dr. Montilla took over, and since day one I’ve felt so welcomed by Christina, Iliana, and Dr. Montilla. They were able to fix my chipped front tooth beautifully, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. After going to my previous dentist for over 10 years, making the switch was a bit scary, but it turned out to be the best decision I’ve made. Janae joined the team not long after, and she’s been such a sweetheart as well! Everyone here is friendly, professional, and truly cares about their patients. They also check insurance coverage and always consult you before any procedures so you can make an informed choice. I have my Invisalign which is something that has been in my bucket list ever since Elementary school. (Even though I still had my baby teeth - I just always wanted a nice smile). I highly recommend visiting them! You’ll be in great hands!

They were able to fit me in last minute and gave me the best experience I could imagine, in spite of the circumstances (dental emergency…). Really happy with the work they did!

Dr. Montilla is the best! I’ve had some preventative dental work done by him, and just did a crown which was done with a 3D scan and then made in-office on the same day. After numerous dental procedures, trials, and tribulations at other practices over the years, I would absolutely recommend Dr. Montilla!

I cannot recommend Gedental and Dr. Montilla more. I have had horrible past experiences with dentists all my life in Los Angeles, with Dr. Montilla’s attention to detail and genuine care for not only my oral health/goals but my comfort and experience in his office I have completely changed my view on my dental appointments and would even say I look forward to them. 10/10!!!

Geriatric Dentistry in West Hollywood FAQs

What makes geriatric dentistry different from regular dental care?

Geriatric dentistry in West Hollywood focuses on the unique needs of older adults, including medication-related dry mouth, gum health, tooth wear, missing teeth, dentures, restorations, and comfort during treatment. The goal is to support oral health, function, and overall wellness as patients age.

Most older adults should see the dentist every 3 to 6 months, depending on their health and risk factors. Regular visits help prevent problems before they start and keep dentures or restorations functioning properly.

We offer several options including dentures, bridges, and implant-supported restorations. Dr. Montilla will recommend the best solution based on your health, budget, and preferences.

Yes—oral infections, gum disease, and missing teeth can impact nutrition, heart health, and even cognitive function. That’s why preventive care and early treatment are so important in later life.

Absolutely. Many older adults experience dry mouth due to medications or aging, which can increase the risk of cavities and discomfort. We provide effective treatments to relieve symptoms and protect your oral health. For more insights. You can also learn more about dental care for older adults from WebMD’s senior oral health guide.
