Melvin Cohen, Kenneth Barrett, Victoria Kha, and Carlisle Salcedo DDS Offer Consultations to Patients Who are Looking for Implants, Crowns, or Who have Progressive Periodontal Disease




Meet the Team
Our dental professionals collectively cover cosmetic dentistry, restorative work, family care, and dental sleep medicine, giving you access to a full range of expertise in one place. Two of our dentists bring over 50 years of combined experience to every patient interaction, while our two associate dentists contribute current, evidence-based techniques developed through rigorous training at USC and Loma Linda University.
Together, they share one standard: take the time to understand each patient fully before recommending anything. That means every consultation is a real conversation, not a rushed evaluation, and every treatment plan reflects what the patient actually wants and needs. Patients coming in for a healthier smile, a more confident one, or both will find a team with the training and the range to get them there.

Dr. Melvin Cohen
Dr. Cohen’s goal as a dentist and health care provider is to prevent disease. “The mouth is subject to physical stress, bacterial stress, stress from aging and attrition, and stress from numerous general health issues and the side effects of medication.

Dr. Kenneth Barrett
Dr. Barrett grew up in Whittier California and attended La Serna High School. He continued his education and received his bachelor’s degree from San Diego State University. From there he earned his degree in dentistry from USC.

Dr. Carlisle Salcedo
Meet Dr. Carlisle Salcedo, DDS—a general dentist who believes that a visit to the dentist can (and should!) be comfortable, calm, and even enjoyable. A UC Berkeley graduate with a double major in Psychology and Integrative Biology, Dr. Salcedo combines his science background with his love of people to create a patient experience that’s as stress-free as possible—even for the most anxious patients.

Dr. Victoria Kha
Meet Dr. Victoria Kha, DDS, a Southern California native and general dentist who loves caring for patients from toddlers to seniors. She believes the best dentistry happens when she really gets to know each patient—their lifestyle, comfort level, and goals—so every treatment plan is personalized, practical, and designed with you in mind.
Cosmetic and Restorative
A smile you feel confident in can change the way you carry yourself every day. Our team takes a comprehensive approach to smile care, blending cosmetic and restorative dentistry to improve both how your teeth look and how they function. We work closely with each patient to build a personalized plan that fits their goals and puts them at ease.
At HB Dental Studio, our cosmetic dentist brings a thoughtful, detail-oriented approach to every procedure, from bonding and veneers to crowns and bridges. We use advanced technology to plan and deliver results that look natural and last. Our priority is making sure you feel informed, comfortable, and genuinely happy with your smile.
Invisalign
Living with misaligned teeth can affect more than just your confidence. It can also make it harder to keep your teeth clean and healthy over time. Invisalign offers a practical, low-profile solution that fits into your life without the visibility or discomfort of traditional braces. Our custom aligner series is designed around your specific tooth movement needs for predictable, effective results.
Our cosmetic dentist uses 3D digital imaging to map out the full progression of your treatment before it begins. At HB Dental Studio, we build your aligner plan with precision and review your progress at regular checkpoints. Our team is here to answer questions and keep your experience smooth every step of the way.
Veneers
Veneers offer one of the most complete smile transformations available, tackling discoloration, uneven shapes, chips, and surface wear all at once. Each porcelain shell is custom-designed to sit naturally over the front of your tooth, creating a result that is both beautiful and durable. Patients consistently find that veneers deliver one of the most impactful changes to their overall appearance.
At HB Dental Studio, our cosmetic dentist guides you through a detailed consultation process to make sure veneers are the right fit for your smile and your goals. We collaborate with a professional dental lab to craft each veneer with precision and care. Our team is with you every step of the way to ensure your results exceed your expectations.
Crowns
A crown is one of the most effective ways to save a tooth that has been significantly damaged, decayed, or broken. By covering the entire visible surface of the tooth, a crown restores its strength and appearance while protecting it from further harm. It is a solution that supports both your oral health and the look of your smile.
Our cosmetic dentist designs each crown using precise digital scanning to ensure an accurate fit and a natural appearance. At HB Dental Studio, we select high-quality materials that are matched carefully to the color and texture of your surrounding teeth. We make the process clear and comfortable so you feel confident and cared for throughout your treatment.
Whitening
Years of coffee, tea, wine, and natural aging can gradually dull even the brightest smiles. Professional whitening is one of the most effective ways to reverse that discoloration and restore a fresh, vibrant look to your teeth. Our treatments are designed to deliver visible results while keeping the process safe and comfortable for your enamel.
Our cosmetic dentist evaluates your smile and guides you toward the whitening solution that will work best for your specific situation. At HB Dental Studio, we offer both in-office treatments for immediate results and custom take-home kits for patients who prefer a more flexible approach. Our team ensures that every whitening experience is thorough, comfortable, and tailored to your goals.
Dental Exams and Cleaning
Routine dental care is one of the most powerful tools you have for protecting your smile over a lifetime. Our dental exams and cleaning appointments go beyond a simple polish. They give us a detailed look at your overall oral health and a chance to address anything that needs attention early. We make every visit educational so you leave feeling informed and empowered about your care.
Our cosmetic dentist performs a thorough exam using digital X-rays to evaluate the health of your teeth, gums, and surrounding structures. At HB Dental Studio, our hygienists deliver a careful, comfortable cleaning that targets buildup in hard-to-reach areas. We build each visit around you, making sure your experience is positive and your oral health stays on the right track.

FAQs
How do I know if cosmetic dentistry is right for me?
If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your smile, whether it’s the color, shape, spacing, or overall look of your teeth, cosmetic dentistry may be a great option. During your consultation, our dentists will listen to your goals and walk you through which treatments make the most sense for your situation. There’s no pressure, just an honest conversation about what’s possible.
What cosmetic options are available for damaged or chipped teeth?
Chipped or damaged teeth can be addressed through several cosmetic treatments depending on the severity. Dental bonding is often the quickest solution for minor chips, while dental veneers or crowns are better suited for more significant damage. Our dentists evaluate the condition of the tooth first to determine which option delivers the most durable and natural-looking result.
How do you approach cosmetic care for patients who feel anxious?
Cosmetic procedures can feel intimidating, especially for patients who are new to them or have had difficult experiences in the past. Our cosmetic dentist is straightforward about what each procedure involves, sets realistic expectations upfront, and adjusts the pace of every appointment to match your comfort level. Feeling informed going into a procedure makes a significant difference, and that preparation is something our team prioritizes every time.
Is cosmetic dentistry a good fit for all ages?
Cosmetic dentistry is not one-size-fits-all, and the right treatments depend heavily on age, dental development, and overall oral health. Our team sees patients across all life stages and tailors cosmetic recommendations accordingly, whether that means teeth whitening for a teenager or a full smile makeover for an adult patient. Every plan is built around what makes sense for that specific person at that specific point in their life.
How long do cosmetic dental results last?
The longevity of cosmetic dental work depends on the treatment, your oral health habits, and how well results are maintained over time. Dental veneers and crowns can last well over a decade with proper care, while teeth whitening may need periodic touch-ups to stay at its best. Our team will give you clear, realistic expectations for every treatment we recommend.
