It is with my greatest pleasure to introduce myself and express my gratitude and excitement to be joining Finesse Dental Care and work alongside Dr. Hever to provide you and your family with top of the line, compassionate and comprehensive dental care.

I am Dr. Joshua Helmstadter and I am a highly motivated general dentist with 11 years of experience specializing in quality of care. I am passionate about helping patients improve their oral health and achieve a beautiful smile. In my care, you can feel confident that you will always be treated with kindness, compassion and professionalism as I will always treat the person, not just the tooth.

I graduated from USC Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry with both a Doctorate of Dental Surgery and Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene. The combination of these degrees allows me to carry knowledge and leadership over all aspects of dentistry from routine cleanings to extractions, implants and everything in between. Upon graduating, I was 1 of 70 dentists selected nationally into a very exclusive Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency with the United States Air Force, where I obtained additional expertise far beyond my dental school education and the continuous opportunity to collaborate and learn from a wide range of dentists and dental specialists on a daily basis. This experience strengthened my approach to dentistry—emphasizing quality over quantity, precision, comprehensive care, and integrity.

I hold myself to the highest of standards and am always striving to improve and expand, from technology to dental treatments and beyond, in order to provide top of the line care for all of my patients. I am committed to completing continuing education courses and attending dental conferences annually to continuously push my current expertise to new heights. At present time, I have certifications in Oral Sedation, IV Sedation and Nitrous Oxide. I am a member of the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, the Spear Study Club and hold a position on the board of the Continuing Education Board of Santa Barbara Ventura County Dental Society. I have completed additional training in Esthetic Veneers and Crowns at Aesthetic Advantage in NY with Dr Apa and Dr. Rosenthal, International Academy of Implantology by Dr Samuel Lee and over 500 hours of comprehensive Invisalign training. Clinically, I can perform a large scope of procedures allowing for the majority of dental treatments to be completed in office. Above all, I pride myself on being conservative, honest, and trustworthy—only recommending treatment that is truly in your best interest.

Outside of dentistry, I love spending time with my incredibly loving and supportive family. My wife, Aimee Helmstadter, has been my main supporter since we met in 2014. We have now been married for 7 years and have three amazing little girls; Everly, Taytum and Capri. They will also greet you with an energetic smile and a blast of sweet energy. I am the definition of a family man, I wish I had a long list of hobbies to brag about but the truth is, they are my main hobby and I value every minute that I get to spend with them.

Above all, I am deeply committed to serving our local community. Aimee was raised locally right here in Agoura Hills and spent the majority of her life in Agoura Hills and Westlake Village. Together we have made the intentional decision to raise our own family here as well and we as a family look forward to being familiar faces beyond just the dental chair.

I am dedicated to providing a positive and memorable experience for all patients, from the moment you enter the door until the moment you leave. I will always greet you with a smile and strive to exceed your expectations as a person and as a dentist. I will listen thoroughly to all of your concerns, respect your opinion and guide you kindly and confidently through all procedures and treatment options with complete transparency so that you may make your dental decisions with confidence. I genuinely look forward to meeting you personally and gaining both your confidence and your trust.

I am proud that our office sets a new standard for dentistry. For over 15 years, I have been committed to the quality and consistency of care to our clientele, starting from your first phone call. Our team is handpicked to provide the finest, most professional care, with a very personalized touch. We really love what we do!

I am a biocompatible dentist, restoring smiles using BPA-free materials rather than the toxic chemicals used in traditional dentistry. Digital X-rays allow us to eliminate the need for hazardous waste, and a 90% reduction in radiation compared to analog X-rays.

I am fortunate to love my craft of perfecting smiles. But when not in the office, my passions are surfing and playing the guitar. I was in a band in high school that became pretty famous – in fact, a household name – after adding new members a few years later. I played water polo and swam competitively in Calabasas High School and later at UC Santa Barbara. After earning a BS in Biology, I went on to attend one of the top dental schools in the nation, the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry. Upon graduating I practiced in a prestigious Beverly Hills office before opening our Thousand Oaks office. I am a proud new father of a baby daughter.

We look forward to caring for you and your beautiful smile!
