Green California Dental

What Green California Dental does

Green California Dental Group is a privately held dental practice founded in 2008 by Dr. Varand Kerikorian, DDS, operating two clinical locations in the Los Angeles metro area — the original office in Burbank (1822 W Burbank Blvd) and a second location opened in 2024 in Glassell Park (4146 Verdugo Rd). The practice delivers a comprehensive suite of dental services organized into seven categories: preventive dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, restorative dentistry, extractions, periodontics, oral surgery, and emergency dental care. Notable in-office technology includes digital radiography, intraoral scanners, CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) imaging for implant planning, digital shade-matching systems, and the Philips Zoom! in-office whitening system; every exam room is CT-equipped.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer, fee-for-service model: patients pay per visit or procedure, with most major PPO insurance plans accepted (Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, Anthem, MetLife, United Healthcare) and promotional specials used to attract new patients (e.g., $179 new patient exam/X-ray/cleaning package, 10% off zirconia crowns, $100 off Zoom whitening). Patient acquisition is driven primarily by local SEO, an active Google Business Profile, a content blog, social media presence on Facebook/Instagram/Yelp, and word-of-mouth referrals within the Burbank, Toluca Lake, Glendale, North Hollywood, Studio City, Glassell Park, Highland Park, Pasadena, Eagle Rock, and Mount Washington communities.

The organization is small (11-50 employees) and founder-led, with Dr. Kerikorian as primary dentist and Dr. Lina Schultz, DDS, joining in 2025 as a second general dentist. The practice is independently owned with no private equity backing, no parent company, and no subsidiaries; clinical staff are supported by a hygienist, dental assistants, a front desk manager, and billing personnel. The company is not pursuing a technology platform model — it is a traditional multi-location dental service business competing on clinical quality, technology adoption, patient experience, and local brand presence rather than on software, AI, or scalable digital distribution.
