Asta Dental

Asta Dental is a modern dental practice in Torrance, California, providing comprehensive oral healthcare for individuals and families. Combining digital dental technology with a patient-centered approach, the practice offers preventive, cosmetic, restorative, and emergency dental services in a comfortable and welcoming environment.

The practice emphasizes personalized treatment, clear communication, and helping patients understand their dental health. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, the dental team develops treatment plans based on each patient’s oral health needs, concerns, and long-term goals.

Experienced Dental Professionals

Asta Dental’s team includes Dr. Ben Udas, a third-generation dental professional originally from Nepal who graduated from Boston University’s Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine. His family background in dentistry and professional training contribute to the practice’s emphasis on individualized patient care.

The team also includes Dr. Aleksey Stugarev, a dentist with extensive clinical experience in implant dentistry, oral surgery, and complex dental rehabilitation. His background includes advanced training in surgical and restorative procedures, particularly treatments involving dental implants and full-mouth reconstruction.

Comprehensive Dental Services

Asta Dental offers a broad selection of treatments, allowing patients to receive many types of dental care in one location. General dentistry services include routine examinations, professional cleanings, tooth-colored fillings, extractions, crowns, bridges, and root canal therapy.

For patients interested in improving the appearance of their teeth, cosmetic services include professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, and clear aligners. Restorative treatments address missing or damaged teeth through dental implants, dentures, and other tooth-replacement options.

The practice also provides pediatric dentistry, emergency dental treatment, and sedation options for patients who experience dental anxiety.

Digital Technology and Patient Comfort

One of Asta Dental’s distinguishing features is its investment in digital dentistry. The office uses CBCT 3D imaging for detailed diagnostic assessments, digital scanners for dental impressions, and in-house CAD/CAM technology for designing and producing certain dental crowns in a single appointment.

Additional technology includes soft-tissue laser treatments for periodontal care. These tools support treatment planning, precision, and efficiency while reducing the need for some traditional dental procedures.

Patient comfort is another priority. The office offers amenities such as cozy blankets and aromatherapy neck pillows, along with sedation options when appropriate. The practice encourages patients to discuss concerns and ask questions before beginning treatment.

Insurance and Payment Options

Asta Dental accepts major PPO dental insurance plans and Denti-Cal. Financing options are also available through providers such as CareCredit, Sunbit, and Cherry, subject to approval. Staff members can assist patients with understanding insurance benefits, estimated treatment costs, and payment arrangements.

Asta Dental brings together general dentistry, specialized restorative procedures, cosmetic treatments, and modern dental technology in one practice. Its emphasis on individualized care, transparent communication, and patient comfort reflects an approach to dentistry that considers both immediate dental needs and long-term oral health.
