Our Services
We offer implants, cosmetic dentistry (tooth whitening, veneers, crowns, bridges), root canal therapy, extractions, dentures, and full-mouth reconstruction.
Dental implants
Implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. If you are missing teeth, implants will allow you to regain the ability to eat anything you want and smile with confidence. Your new teeth will appear natural and your facial contours will be preserved.

Cosmetic dentistry
Teeth whitening
The Zoom! In-Office Whitening System uses proprietary technology to whiten your teeth an average of eight shades* in a little over an hour while you relax at your dentist’s office. It’s ideal for anyone who wants immediate results. The Zoom! Take-Home Whitening System uses a revolutionary patent-pending gel to whiten your teeth an average of six shades in three nights*. And you may go even lighter with additional applications.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells that bond to the front of teeth, offering a quick and effective solution for gaps, stains, or misalignment. They are nearly invisible, mimicking the appearance of natural tooth enamel. Veneers are durable and last over a decade with proper care. The application process involves three main appointments: diagnosis and planning for the veneers, preparation by lightly buffing the teeth and creating molds, and then bonding the permanent veneers. Afterwards, you can brush and floss as you normally would.
Crowns and bridges
Our goal is to provide undetectable dental restorations that look and feel like natural teeth. For dental problems caused by accidents, disease, or wear and tear, we can correct them using crowns or bridges made with high-quality porcelain or gold crowns. Fitting a crown takes at least two office visits; first we will remove decay, shape the tooth, and fit it with a temporary crown to help the gum tissue and surrounding teeth adapt to the shape and size of the temporary crown. At the next visit, we will fit the final crown so you have a new, beautiful-looking tooth.
Bridges are also a reliable solution to dental issues, offering long-lasting corrections and functionality. Bridges fill in the gap where teeth are missing. Missing teeth can cause unusual stress on the gums and other oral tissues, increased risk of gum disease, or difficulty in chewing and speaking. The process involves two or three appointments for fitting and adjustments. Proper aftercare includes regular brushing and flossing, which are essential for maintaining the health of the bridge and the surrounding teeth.

Root canal therapy (RCT)
If you are eating, do you experience any pain or discomfort? Is the temperature of your mouth affecting the sensitivity of your teeth? What are you doing about swollen gums and discolored teeth? Does your tooth have a chip or crack? Have you been worried about a reoccurring pimple on your gums?
There is a possibility that you may need a root canal if you suffer from one or more of these symptoms. The problem with root canals is that no one wants one, but knowing what symptoms to look for before you receive a root canal can speed up treatment and eliminate other problems.
Extractions
Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease, or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.
The removal of a single tooth can lead to problems related to your chewing ability, problems with your jaw joint, and shifting teeth, which can have a major impact on your dental health.
To avoid these complications, in most cases, Drs. Wang or Zhang will discuss alternatives to extractions as well as replacement of the extracted tooth.
Dentures
A denture or a complete denture as it is often called, is an appliance that is inserted in the mouth, replaces natural teeth and provides support for the cheeks and lips.
Most dentures are made of acrylic and can be fabricated two different ways.
- A conventional denture is made after all teeth have been extracted and the tissues (gums) have healed.
- An immediate denture is fabricated and inserted immediately after the teeth are extracted and the tissues are allowed to heal under the denture.
- An upper denture has acrylic, usually flesh colored, that covers the palate (roof of the mouth).
- A lower denture is shaped like a horseshoe to leave room for the tongue.
The teeth are made of plastic, porcelain or a combination of both. Dentures can be fabricated to fit over endodontically treated teeth and a complete denture can be attached to dental implants to allow for a more secure fit of the appliance.
Full-mouth reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction is a dental procedure that can restore the function and appearance of the teeth, gums, and jawbone. It can include a variety of treatments, such as:
- Dental implants: A popular option for tooth replacement, implants are screw-like posts that are placed into the jawbone above missing teeth.
- Crowns, bridges, and dentures: These can be made to look like natural teeth.
- Veneers: These can be used on the front or lower teeth.
- Onlays: Another treatment option.
- Oral surgery: This may be used to move the jaws.
Full mouth reconstruction can improve chewing ability and overall oral health, and can also boost self-confidence. Some dentists may also use orthodontics to achieve the best results.
Routine cleaning
Adults over 35 lose more teeth to gum diseases (periodontal disease) than from cavities. Three out of four adults are affected at some time in their life. The best way to prevent cavities and periodontal disease is by good tooth brushing and flossing techniques, performed daily.
Periodontal disease and decay are both caused by bacterial plaque. Plaque is a colorless film, which sticks to your teeth at the gum line. Plaque constantly forms on your teeth. By thorough daily brushing and flossing you can remove these germs and help prevent periodontal disease.
