Dr. Larry D. Hall, DDS

Across the L.A. basin sit strip malls and office parks, but Dr. Larry D. Hall, DDS keeps a dental chair in an older mid-rise on Sepulveda. A quick drive up the 405 and you’re inside the glass doors at 500 S Sepulveda Blvd #210, Manhattan Beach. Celebrity smiles and routine cleanings land in the same two-chair operatory, which keeps overhead light and instruments in plain sight. Reach the office by calling (310) 372-8188 for check-ups or crowns; the lobby shares the floor with a handful of small clinics. When the sea breeze turns onshore, the drive back to the freeway is almost as short as the wait inside. Head west on 405 to Rosecrans, then take the Manhattan Beach exit and follow the blue “500 S Sepulveda” sign—directions keep the route straight.
