A Different Kind of Dentistry

20+ years of experience. A human-first practice. Now home in Hawthorne.

Dr. Christine Phan, DMD - Lead Dentist at Dr. Phantastic Dental Care in Hawthorne, CA

Lead Dentist & Founder

Dr. Christine Phan, DMD

20+ Years of Clinical Practice

Dr. Phan didn't grow up in one dental office. Over more than 20 years, she's practiced in cities across the United States — refining her clinical skills and developing her own approach to patient care along the way.

Outside the office, she's stayed engaged with the broader world — travel, community involvement, and a belief that dentistry is more than a profession. It's a way to take care of people. That perspective shapes everything that happens here.

When she opened her own practice in Hawthorne, she did it with a simple promise: treat every patient like family. The kind of careful, honest, personal dentistry she'd want for her own loved ones.

What Patients Tell Us

Why Patients Love Us

A small, family-owned dental practice in Hawthorne. Most of our patients come to us through word of mouth — a friend, a family member, a coworker. Here's what they tell us they appreciate most.

Recommendations You Can Trust

Our team isn't paid commission on what they recommend. So when we suggest a treatment, it's because you need it.

The Same Doctor Every Visit

Dr. Phan personally treats every patient. She'll remember your kids' names, your job, the trip you mentioned last time.

Honest Treatment Plans

If watchful waiting is the right call, we say so. We'll show you the X-rays. You decide what's right for your mouth and your wallet.

Unhurried Visits

We schedule realistic appointment lengths so we can actually listen. Time for the question you almost didn't ask.

Written treatment plans with itemized costs before any work begins. We verify your insurance benefits in advance.

Beyond the Chair

Dentistry, the Human Way

For Dr. Phan, dentistry isn't just a profession — it's a way to take care of people. That ethic shows up in small ways and big ones. It's why our team takes the time to actually listen. It's why we explain treatment options instead of dictating them. It's why nobody at this practice will ever push you toward something you don't need.

It also shows up in how we work with people. We file claims with all major insurance plans, offer flexible payment options, and have an in-house Phantastic Dental Plans membership program for patients without insurance. We work with patients on payment plans because real life is messy and dental care shouldn't be a luxury.

"Quality dental care shouldn't be a privilege. We do everything we can to make sure it isn't — for everyone who walks through our doors."
