    Dear families of Temple City Dental Care,

    It is with great honor that Dr. Kyle S. Low has been chosen by Dr. Jack von Bulow to continue the legacy of Temple City Dental Care. Dr. Low has had the privilege of knowing Dr. von Bulow for three years, first as a mentor and now as a friend.

    Dr. Low met Dr. von Bulow in 2019 at an Invisalign CE Course in San Jose, CA. This course was one of the most prestigious advanced Invisalign education programs for general dentists, with attendees selected by their peers and handpicked by the course director. Dr. Low, excited and nervous, found himself seated next to Dr. von Bulow, who was a chapter president and invited him to join his group. Dr. von Bulow’s infectious energy and enthusiasm made a lasting impression on Dr. Low, and the two stayed in contact through WhatsApp, a vital connection during the challenging times of 2020.

    Dr. Low’s journey into dentistry was an unconventional one. Initially working in the import/export industry, he realized he wasn’t fulfilled and sought a career in healthcare. The hands-on, problem-solving nature of dentistry and the opportunity to shape his own practice inspired him to make a life-changing decision. Four months after proposing to his wife, Lena, Dr. Low left his job and enrolled in Chapman University’s Post-Baccalaureate program, where he completed the science courses needed to apply to dental school. He then attended UCLA School of Dentistry, earning his DDS degree in 2017. Dr. Low further honed his skills through a one-year residency at UCLA Venice Dental Center, where he was introduced to Invisalign, setting the stage for his path to meet Dr. von Bulow.

    Dr. Low is both humbled and honored to carry on Dr. von Bulow’s mission of “Making a world-class difference for others and making dentistry fun.” With years of experience serving the San Gabriel Valley in South Pasadena since 2018, Dr. Low brings not only his professional expertise but also his personal life, including his three children—ages 7, 4, and 7 months—and his devoted partner, Lena, whom he has been with for the past 11 years. Through his work with Dr. von Bulow, Dr. Low has been deeply inspired by his vision for dentistry, his passion for the community, and his dedication to service. Dr. Low shares this same commitment to providing excellent care with empathy, integrity, and a focus on building relationships based on trust and respect.

    Dr. Low is truly honored to offer his services to the Temple City Dental Care community and looks forward to meeting each and every one of you.

What is cosmetic dentistry?

c
crown-fan-353

Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry focused on enhancing the aesthetics and appearance of a person's teeth, gums, and smile. While traditional dentistry mainly concentrates on health and functionality, cosmetic dentistry places a strong focus on improving the visual appeal of the smile. It encompasses a range of elective procedures and treatments aimed at achieving an attractive and confident smile. Typical treatments included in cosmetic dentistry are: Cosmetic Dental Fillings: Tooth-colored (white) fillings made from composite materials to fix cavities while maintaining a natural appearance. Teeth Whitening: The process of lightening stained or discolored teeth to achieve brighter and whiter smiles. Dental Bonding: The application of a tooth-colored resin to repair or improve the aesthetics of teeth affected by chips, cracks, or gaps. Dental Veneers: Thin, custom-made shells of porcelain placed over the front surface of a tooth to improve its appearance, addressing issues like gaps, discolorations, or unevenness. Dental Crowns: Custom-made caps, typically made out of porcelain or ceramic, that cover damaged or discolored teeth, restoring their anatomy, size, and strength while improving their aesthetic appeal. Dental Implants: Surgically implanted titanium artificial tooth roots to support a single or multiple replacement teeth, providing a natural-looking and fully functional solution for missing teeth. Invisalign: A removable and discreet orthodontic treatment using a series of clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional brackets and wires. Orthodontic Treatments: Procedures like braces or ceramic braces or clear aligners to straighten misaligned or crooked teeth, improving their appearance and functionality. Smile Makeovers: Comprehensive treatment processes combining different cosmetic procedures to achieve a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing new smile. Gum Contouring: Reshaping or re-contouring of the gum line to improve the appearance of the teeth, particularly when there is excessive gum exposure, short clinical crowns, or uneven gum levels. Cosmetic dentistry enables individuals to obtain their desired smile aesthetics, boosting their confidence and often improving their overall self-esteem.

It was so easy to find a doctor and make an appointment. I didn't have to take hours to call different offices and find out who takes my insurance and who doesn't.

I'm a freelancer, so I can't buy insurance easily, so I always ended up paying a lot for doctors' visits. I signed up for a Doctors Network dental plan, and my dental cleanings cost only $25 now. If you don't have dental insurance I highly recommend it.

I fell off my bike and chipped my front tooth. I was able to find and book an appointment online right away. Next time I need an appointment I'll try Doctors Network again.
