  • Uneven Gumline — A gum line that is higher on some teeth than others can be evened out for balance.

  • Short-Looking Teeth — Excess gum tissue that makes teeth look short can be reshaped for better proportion.

  • I had such a great experience at Torrance Dental Spa that I felt like I had to leave a review. From the very beginning, everything about my visit was easy and stress-free.The office was incredibly easy to find, and getting there was no hassle at all. Parking was convenient, and the location is perfect if you're coming from anywhere in the South Bay area.

You can tell they take pride in providing a safe and comfortable environment for their patients. The waiting area was relaxing, the treatment rooms were immaculate, and everything looked state-of-the-art.One thing I was really worried about was the cost. I wasn't sure what my insurance would cover, and I was expecting to have a large bill at the end of my visit. To my surprise, the team verified my insurance, explained my benefits clearly, and my insurance covered almost everything. They were completely transparent about costs, and there were no surprises. It made the entire experience so much less stressful.Dr. Maral was wonderful. She took the time to explain everything, answered all of my questions, and made sure I was comfortable throughout my appointment.

  • I can't say enough good things about Dr. Maral and her team. I chipped my front tooth a while back, and ever since then I found myself hiding my smile in pictures and even while talking to people. I was worried that fixing it would leave it looking fake or obvious, especially because it's one of my front teeth. After meeting with Dr. Maral, all of those worries disappeared. She took the time to listen to what I wanted, explained every step of the process, and made me feel completely comfortable from the beginning.The results absolutely blew me away. She restored my front tooth so perfectly that I honestly can't tell which tooth was chipped anymore. The shape, color, and translucency match my natural teeth flawlessly. It doesn't look like dental work—it just looks like the smile I was supposed to have all along. Every detail was carefully done, and you can tell she truly cares about creating natural, beautiful results instead of rushing through the appointment.The office itself is beautiful, modern, and welcoming, and everyone there treated me with kindness and professionalism. I never felt like just another patient. Dr. Maral has an incredible eye for cosmetic dentistry, and her attention to detail is second to none. I've already had friends and family compliment my smile, and no one can even tell I had dental work done unless I mention it.If you're looking for a dentist who genuinely cares about her patients and can create stunning, natural-looking cosmetic results, I highly recommend Dr. Maral. She gave me my confidence back, and now I smile in every picture without even thinking about it. I couldn't be happier with my experience, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for high-quality cosmetic dental work. Five stars isn't enough.

  • I've been a patient of Dr. Maral's before, but after I lost my dental insurance, I stopped coming because I assumed I wouldn't be able to afford treatment. Like so many people, I figured I'd have to wait until I had insurance again. Eventually, I decided to call the office just to see what my options were, and I'm so glad I did because I couldn't have been more wrong.From the moment I spoke with the team, they were incredibly understanding and never made me feel embarrassed about not having insurance. They walked me through the costs, explained everything clearly, and let me know they offer payment plans, which made a huge difference for me. Being able to split the cost into manageable payments took away so much of the stress. Instead of putting my dental health on hold again, I was finally able to get the care I needed without feeling overwhelmed financially.When I came in, everyone remembered me and welcomed me back like family. The office is just as beautiful, modern, and spotless as I remembered. It's one of the cleanest dental offices I've ever been to, and the atmosphere is relaxing instead of intimidating.Dr. Maral is truly one of the most compassionate dentists I've ever met.

You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and wants what's best for them, not just the treatment itself but making sure they're comfortable with the entire process.The assistants were just as amazing. They were kind, patient, and constantly checked to make sure I was comfortable. Everyone in the office works together so well, and you can tell they actually enjoy what they do. It makes the whole experience so much less stressful.What impressed me the most was how honest and transparent they were about pricing. There were no surprise fees, no pressure, and no sales pitch. They gave me different treatment options, explained the payment plans available, and helped me find something that fit my budget. That's something you don't see very often anymore, and it earned my trust immediately.I left feeling relieved—not just because I finally got the dental care I needed, but because I realized I didn't have to choose between taking care of my teeth and paying my bills. If you've been avoiding the dentist because you don't have insurance or you're worried about the cost, don't assume you can't afford it. Call Dr. Maral's office first. They truly care about their patients and will work with you to find a solution.I honestly can't recommend Dr. Maral and her team enough. Outstanding care, honest pricing, flexible payment plans, an incredible staff, and a dentist who truly puts her patients first. They've earned my trust, and I'll be coming back for years to come.

  • I wanted to share my experience because I know hearing the words "you need a root canal" can be terrifying. I was honestly expecting the whole process to be long, painful, and stressful, but Dr. Maral and her team completely changed my perspective.When Dr. Maral told me I needed a root canal, she referred me to an endodontic specialist she trusted. The specialist was absolutely incredible. The procedure was so much easier than I ever imagined. It was fast, virtually painless, and before I knew it, they were telling me we were finished. I spent more time worrying about it than actually sitting in the chair.Once my root canal healed, I came back to Dr. Maral to have my permanent crown placed. This is where her attention to detail really stood out. She took her time making sure everything fit perfectly. She checked my bite several times, made tiny adjustments until it felt just right, and made sure the crown blended naturally with the rest of my teeth. You honestly can't tell which tooth has the crown because it matches so perfectly.The entire process, from the referral to the final crown, was seamless. Communication between the specialist and Dr. Maral's office was excellent, and I never felt like I was being bounced around between different providers. Everything was coordinated so well that it made what could have been a stressful experience incredibly smooth.The staff was amazing every step of the way. Everyone was friendly, reassuring, and genuinely cared about how I was feeling. Every appointment started on time, the office was spotless, and I never felt rushed. They answered every question I had and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process.Now I can chew comfortably again without pain, and my tooth looks completely natural.

  • I had my first appointment with Dr. Maral today, and I honestly couldn't be more impressed. From the moment I walked in, everything ran so smoothly.
