ABOUT GLENDALE CALIFORNIA WHERE GLENDALE FAMILY DENTAL CARE IS LOCATED

Glendale is a city in Los Angeles County, California, United States. It lies at the eastern end of the San Fernando Valley, is bisected by the Verdugo Mountains, and is an important suburb in the Greater Los Angeles Area. The city is bordered to the southwest by the Atwater Village neighborhood of Los Angeles; to the west by Burbank; to the northwest by the Tujunga neighborhood of Los Angeles; to the northeast by the city of La Cañada Flintridge and the unincorporated La Crescenta area; to the east by Pasadena; and to the southeast by the Eagle Rock and Glassell Park neighborhoods of Los Angeles. The Golden State, Ventura, Glendale, and Foothill freeways run through the city. The city is policed by the Glendale Police Department, which is led by chief Randy Adams.

As of the 2000 census, the city population was 194,973. Since then, there have been estimates of 201,326 by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2004 and 207,007 by the California State government in 2005, making it the third largest city in Los Angeles County and the seventeenth largest city in the state of California.

The "Grand Central Airport" was an important facility to the city and to the history of aviation. It provided the first paved runway west of the Rocky Mountains in 1923. In 1928 it opened its terminal, making it the first official airport in Greater Los Angeles. For the next two decades it was the main airport in the county and references to "Los Angeles Airport" from that era generally refer to the Grand Central Airport, not to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), which was known as Mines Field at the time (commercial airline operations at LAX did not begin until 1946).

Jack Northrop built his first aircraft factory here in 1927, though it was soon moved to Burbank's "United Airport" (now Bob Hope Airport). The first regularly-scheduled airline service between Southern California and New York City was initiated on July 28, 1929 by Transcontinental Air Transport, with owner Charles A. Lindbergh piloting the first flight. Among the passengers on the 48-hour trip were Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. Pioneering female aviator Laura Ingalls became the first woman to fly solo across in the country when she landed at Glendale in 1930. The first transcontinental flight by African American pilots, Albert Forsythe and Charles Anderson, was completed at Glendale in 1933. Howard Hughes built his innovative and record-setting "H-1 Racer" in a plant next to the airport in 1935. During World War II it became a P-38 base where the 319th Fighter Wing trained.

After the war the airport eventually returned to private use but its runways were too short for jet planes and the airport was closed in 1959. The Grand Central Air Terminal building, with its control tower, was designed by Henry L. Gogerty. The building is currently owned by The Walt Disney Company, though the terminal and tower were made uninhabitable by the 1994 Northridge earthquake. The airport was the setting of several films, including Hughes' 1930 Hell's Angels, Shirley Temple's 1934 Bright Eyes, and the musical Hollywood Hotel with Dick Powell. The city of Glendale is also part owner of the Bob Hope Airport (formerly "Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport").

The Bob's Big Boy chain of hamburger restaurants started in Glendale in 1936, and the Baskin-Robbins, "31 Flavors" chain of ice cream parlors started there in 1945.The Glendale Public Library contains one of the largest collections of books on cats in the world, over 20,000 volumes. It was donated to the library in the 1950s by the Jewel City Cat Fanciers Club, with the understanding that it would be made into a special collection and kept permanently for club members to use and enjoy.

The city saw significant development in the 1970s. Completion of the Glendale Freeway (HWY 2) and the Ventura Freeway (HWY 134), redevelopment of Brand Boulevard, renovation of the 1925 Alex Theatre, and construction of the Glendale Galleria shopping mall, all contributed to the resurgence of the city.

In 1994, Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen formed DreamWorks SKG, a diversified entertainment company. The company's "southern campus" is located in the city's Grand Central Business Park on a tract of land formerly occupied by a Sparkletts Water bottling facility. The Walt Disney Company also has a large campus located in the Grand Central Business Park that includes the headquarters for its Imagineering division and KABC-TV.

As of 2005, construction began in downtown Glendale for developer Rick Caruso's "Americana on Brand". Americana on Brand is scheduled to open in 2008 and plans include movie theaters, cafes, restaurants, and shopping.

LUMINEERS, EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE

Finally, a painless way to reshape and permanently whiten your smile.

EXPERIENCE
THE LUMINEERS®
SMILES
DIFFERENCE

The safe, painless porcelain veneer. As easy as getting your hair done.

What makes LUMINEERS® Porcelain Veneers different from other veneers?

LUMINEERS® BY CERINATE® are porcelain veneers that offer the painless way to a permanently whiter and perfectly aligned smile. Your LUMINEERS dentist can apply these contact lens-thin “smile shapers” to teeth without any grinding or shaving, transforming teeth into a naturally beautiful smile that looks perfect for every individual. LUMINEERS can even be placed over existing crown or bridgework without having to replace them.

LUMINEERS are contact lens-thin and are placed over existing teeth without having to remove painful tooth structure (unlike traditional veneers.) LUMINEERS is the painless, permanent cosmetic solution for stained, chipped, discolored or misaligned teeth.

LUMINEERS can only be made from patented Cerinate porcelain unavailable anywhere other than the Cerinate Smile Design Studio. In just 2-3 visits to your LUMINEERS dentist, you can have a custom-made smile that is clinically proven to last over 20 years - and it is completely reversible since your natural tooth structure is still intact! Get your perfect smile today!

LUMINEERS BY CERINATE Technique

TRADITIONAL VENEERS Technique

BEFORE

Teeth are stained, slightly misshapen with spaces in-between. The dentist makes an impression and the mold is sent to the Cerinate Smile Design Studio where only LUMINEERS are crafted.

Teeth appear stained and slightly misshapen. An impression is made and sent to a lab.

LUMINEERS VENEERS
NO PAINFUL TOOTH REDUCTION

TRADITIONAL VENEERS
PAINFUL TOOTH REDUCTION

On next dental visit, your dentist tries in your LUMINEERS to ensure a good fit. Teeth are moderately etched to prepare for placement but there is no removal of sensitive tooth structure, the painful part of traditional veneer techniques. The LUMINEERS are bonded to your natural teeth and set in place with a curing light.

Anesthetic shots are given to numb the area and teeth are severely shaved away with a drill to accommodate the veneers.

PAINFREE AFTER

LUMINEERS Prevents This
POTENTIALLY PAINFUL AFTER

In only 2 easy dental visits, you will have a permanently whiter and beautiful smile without shots, drilling or pain.

A better, but still flawed smile, as the procedure is not reversible like LUMINEERS because the original teeth have been shaved down causing pain and discomfort immediately after the procedure.
