Book Free ConsultationWhy Long Beach Patients Drive to 5D Smiles in Downey
5D Smiles is at 8500 Florence Ave, Ste 100, Downey CA — just 15 minutes from Long Beach via the 710 Freeway North.
Long Beach has many dental offices, but implant specialists — the kind who trained at UCLA, placed 2,500+ implants, and handle complex full-arch cases — are rare. Dr. Henry Qiu is one of the few.
Our Long Beach patients consistently tell us they looked locally first, then chose us after seeing the difference that specialist training makes. The extra few minutes of driving pays off for years.

5D Smiles vs. Long Beach Dental Offices
General dentists can do basic implants — but when you need All-on-4, complex restoration, or cases involving bone loss, you need a specialist. Here’s how we compare.
| Feature | 5D Smiles (Downey) | Typical Long Beach Dental Office |
|---|---|---|
| Implant specialist training | ✓ UCLA Fellowship | ✗ General dentist |
| All-on-4 / full-arch restoration | ✓ Primary specialty | ✗ Often referred out |
| In-house 3D cone beam CT scan | ✓ Included free | ✗ Often extra cost |
| Bone grafting in-house | ✓ By same doctor | ✗ Often referred to oral surgeon |
| Same-day consultation availability | ✓ Most days | ✗ Typically 2-4 week wait |
| 0% financing options | ✓ Multiple plans | Varies by office |
Everything Your Smile Needs
Single Dental Implant
Replace one missing tooth permanently. Titanium post fused to bone + natural-looking porcelain crown. The standard of care that lasts a lifetime.
All-on-4 Full Arch
No more dentures. Replace all teeth in an arch with just 4 implants — often placed in a single visit. Our Long Beach patients call this life-changing.
Implant Dentures
Snap-on implant-retained dentures that stay put during meals, conversations, and everything else. Say goodbye to adhesive forever.
Immediate Implants
Extract a failing tooth and place the implant in the same visit. Fewer appointments, faster healing. Ask if you qualify at your free consultation.
Why Long Beach Patients Chose 5D Smiles Over Local Offices
Fellowship-Trained
Dr. Qiu’s UCLA implant fellowship is the gold standard. No “I took a weekend course” — this is the real training that produces predictable outcomes.
One-Price Guarantee
We quote one price, that’s your price. Long Beach patients are often surprised by how transparent we are compared to what they’ve experienced elsewhere.
Quick Scheduling
While Long Beach dental offices book 3-6 weeks out for new patients, we often see Long Beach patients within 24-48 hours of calling.
Best Financing
CareCredit, LendingClub, and in-house plans. Multiple 0% APR options. We find a payment plan that works for every Long Beach patient’s budget.
Long Beach Patients Ask…
You can — but there’s a meaningful difference between a general dentist who places occasional implants and a specialist who does nothing but implants all day. For simple, single-tooth cases the difference may be small. For All-on-4, bone grafting, or complex restorations, the expertise gap is significant. Dr. Qiu’s UCLA training and case volume make a real difference in outcomes.
Very manageable. The 710 from Long Beach to Firestone Blvd in Downey is a straight shot — about 15 minutes off-peak, 25 minutes in heavy traffic. Most patients make 3-4 visits total over the course of their treatment. Many tell us the drive was worth it every single time they see their new smile in the mirror.
Same-day teeth (teeth-in-a-day / All-on-4 with immediate loading) is possible for qualifying patients. We do a comprehensive assessment including a 3D cone beam CT scan at your free consultation to determine if you’re a candidate. If you are, we can often complete the surgery in one long visit — you drive to Downey in the morning and drive home with a full set of teeth.
Yes — in fact, many of our Long Beach patients come to us after being told by other dentists that their case is “too complicated.” Dr. Qiu specializes in difficult cases including severe bone loss, failed previous implants, multiple extractions, and full-mouth rehabilitation. No case is too complex for a consultation.
Everything: a comprehensive oral exam, full-mouth X-rays, a 3D cone beam CT scan of your jaw, a complete treatment plan with itemized costs, and a personal consultation with Dr. Qiu. No sales pitch — just the facts about what your mouth needs and what it will cost. Most Long Beach patients call it the most informative dental appointment they’ve ever had.
