Services
Preventative
-
The comprehensive exam begins with a consultation with Dr. Hong to discuss your dental concerns and overall oral health. Digital radiographs (X-rays) are then taken to provide detailed images of areas not visible to the naked eye. These images are essential for accurately detecting issues such as decay between teeth, bone loss, and early signs of periodontal disease.
-
We recommend patients visit at least twice a year for routine dental checkups. Each visit includes a comprehensive examination of the teeth and gums, a professional cleaning, an oral cancer screening, and digital X-rays when necessary to ensure optimal oral health.
-
This deep-cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths tooth roots to prevent future buildup. It is a proven and effective treatment for gum disease, helping to restore gum health and prevent further damage.
-
Gum disease (periodontitis) affects nearly half of all adults. Early detection and treatment are key to restoring gum health. We diagnose and treat all stages of gum disease, helping prevent further infection, bone loss, and tooth mobility.
-
Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where cavities are most likely to form. They provide a smooth surface that helps prevent decay, especially for children and teens.
Cosmetic
-
Professional teeth whitening brightens and enhances the natural color of your teeth. We offer take-home whitening kits with custom-made trays and professional-strength bleaching gel, allowing you to whiten your smile comfortably and conveniently at home.
-
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells placed on the front of teeth to improve their appearance. They’re an excellent option for correcting discoloration, chips, misalignment, or unevenness, to achieve a beautiful, natural-looking smile without extensive treatment.
-
For patients who clench or grind their teeth (a condition known as bruxism), custom night guards and mouth guards help protect teeth and reduce pressure on the jaw joints (TMJs) during sleep. This prevents wear, discomfort, and long-term damage.
Restorative
-
Missing teeth can be replaced with implant-supported crowns, bridges, or dentures. We collaborate closely with specialists for implant placement and restore the healed implants to create a natural, functional smile.
-
Dental fillings repair and restore teeth damaged by decay, fracture, or wear. We offer both silver (amalgam) and tooth-colored (composite) fillings to strengthen and protect your teeth while maintaining a natural look.
-
For patients with significant tooth loss, we offer natural-looking dentures that restore both function and appearance. Options include fixed dentures, traditional removable dentures, and implant-stabilized dentures.
-
A dental crown (or “cap”) restores a tooth that is cracked, worn, discolored, or damaged by decay. Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to surrounding teeth. We offer crowns in a variety of materials, including porcelain-fused-to-metal, full metal, and all-ceramic options, tailored to each patient’s needs.
-
When a tooth is too damaged to restore or causes alignment issues, we perform gentle, nonsurgical extractions. Our team prioritizes patient comfort and provides thorough post-care guidance to ensure a smooth recovery.
Who We Are
