About Dr. Steven Firshein, DMD

Dr. Steven Firshein grew up in New York City and attended the City
University of New York, graduating with a degree in Biology and Chemistry.
He completed his dental doctoral program at the widely respected University
of Pennsylvania Dental School. His introduction to California came when he
was accepted to the Marine Hospital Residency Program in San Francisco.
There he had an opportunity to experience "rotations" in dental specialties
including pediatrics, prosthodontics (tooth restoration), endodontics (root
canal treatment) and oral surgery. He continued his training and
professional growth in the U.S. Public Health Service attaining the rank of
Lieutenant Commander before leaving for the private sector and happily
relocating to the South Bay. Dr. Firshein has enjoyed South Bay living for
over 25 years, raising four children here. His interests mesh well with the
beach community lifestyle. Along with being an avid cyclist, he enjoys
tennis, volleyball, snow and water-skiing, and martial arts. For 15 years,
Dr. Firshein was a reserve officer with the Los Angeles Sheriff's
Department.
Dr. Firshein says, “Living and working in the same area as my patients means
that many of them have become friends, and I want my friends to have the
best.”
Dr. Firshein’s gentle, warmly humorous, caring approach to dental treatment
has made it easier for thousands of people to receive the care they need.
For those patients who need more anxiety relief, Dr. Firshein is one of the
few dentists in the area certified to provide oral sedation during treatment
so you may literally sleep through your appointment.
Dr. Firshein prides himself on staying current with the rapid growth of
dental technology by taking hundreds of hours of continuing education. He
enjoys most areas of dentistry with special interest in restoring healthy
function and beautiful smiles.
Over the years, dentistry has changed dramatically. Through constant
learning and the addition of new and proven technology, we're able to
improve smiles and oral function - literally changing people's lives. New
research shows links between dental health maintenance and healthy hearts,
pregnancy, and a host of other health issues. Dr. Firshein is committed to
incorporating this expansive view of dentistry into his practice and
bringing the benefits to you.

About Dr. Aron Kivel, DDS

Dr. Aron Kivel’s practice emphasizes tooth-conserving general and cosmetic
dentistry. Whether providing a great first dental experience to parent and
child or coaching adults through difficult decisions pertaining to filling
replacements, veneers, orthodontics, implants and dentures, Dr. Kivel
ensures that patients feel well informed, in control and able to choose from
all that modern dentistry has to offer.
Dr. Kivel relocated to Los Angeles after living in San Francisco for almost
10 years. Already a surfer, skier, rock climber, cyclist, kayaker and
overall adventure traveler, he had no problem “adjusting” to the Southern
California life-style. After practicing in a Century City dental practice
that was home to television’s Extreme Makeover and a separate “boutique”
practice in Beverly Hills, Dr. Kivel began practicing in Los Angeles’ South
Bay. “It can’t get any better than doing work I love while being a part of
such a great community.” Soon thereafter Dr. Kivel moved from Pacific
Palisades to Hermosa Beach.
Dr. Kivel graduated from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry
in San Francisco. He obtained his undergraduate degree in business from
University of California at Davis. In between, Dr. Kivel became a licensed
attorney, having graduated from the University of San Francisco School of
Law.
