Building Trust through Communication & Skillful Care
Dr. Cheng is committed to spending time with and listening to patients,
especially on the initial appointment. She is interested in getting
to know you and understanding your dental goals and concerns.
Cosmetic & Restorative Services
The majority of Dr. Cheng’s specialized training is in cosmetic
dentistry: duplicating natural color in the mouth, shade selection,
and communication with the technicians. She therefore has a thorough
knowledge of how to enhance the overall appearance of the teeth
and smile. She uses only the latest restorative materials, and she's
taken the time to select the highest qualified technicians to ensure
the use of top-quality, lifelike porcelain crowns, bridges and veneers.
- Tooth-Colored Fillings. These offer natural-looking restorations
and increased durability. Plus, Dr. Cheng’s technique prevents
sensitivity problems.
- Porcelain Veneers. These lifelike restorations improve the
smile by changing the shape of the tooth.
- Whitening. We use a very new product: Opalescence® Xtra®
Boost. This bleaching solution does not require a laser or light.
- All-Porcelain Crowns, Onlays and Inlays. Metal-free restoration
results in a more pleasing appearance, without the gray shadow
at the gum line.
- Dental Implants. For rehabilitation of lost teeth, these restore
an amazing level of functionality and beauty that mimics natural
teeth.
- Recontouring. This technique evens out uneven teeth and
eliminates jagged edges.
- Other Cosmetic & Restorative Services. Bonding, bridges,
dentures & partial dentures, and root canals.
Technology
Our dental care features advanced technology, including digital
radiography and an intra-oral camera.
- Digital Imaging/Digital Radiography. This is a way for patients
to preview the final results of an improved smile, including the
shape and whitening of teeth, and the overall structure of the
smile. The digital technology captures images with less radiation
exposure than the traditional x-ray.
- Intra-Oral Camera. On the initial visit, every patient gets
a 'tour' of their mouth via our intra-oral camera to see what’s
going on inside. This visual communication is extremely valuable.
- Patient Comfort Measures. For those who need extra help relaxing
or removing anxiety, we offer nitrous gas.
- Preventive Care Services
- Dental Sealants. This is an important part of any treatment
plan in order to prevent future decay.
- Patient Education. Dr. Cheng takes the time to demonstrate
proper brushing techniques on a model in order to instruct proper
dental-hygiene maintenance.
- Nightguards. We emphasize these as a means of preventing future
wear and damage of the teeth.
- Mouthguards. These are valuable for preventing serious sporting
injuries to the mouth and teeth.
- Other Preventive Care Services. Cleaning or hygiene, breath
treatment, regular checkups, and snoreguards.
Gum Disease
- Charting. We perform cleaning services during every checkup
in order to maintain the health of the gums.
- Other Gum Disease Services. Diagnostic services and in-office
therapy.
