In addition to the cosmetic procedures that we perform, Dr. Cheung also provides his patients with general dentistry procedures, including cleanings, fillings, and overall periodontal care. Routine exams are necessary for general dental hygiene and proper oral maintenance.

Implant Dentistry
This involves surgically anchoring an artificial tooth root in the jaw to replace missing teeth. Implants are a stronger, longer-lasting alternative to dentures. They can be used to replace one or more missing teeth, improving appearance and functionality. Implants can help patients avoid some of the problems associated with missing teeth, including movement of surrounding teeth, bite complications, and difficulty chewing. Implants also improve aesthetic appearance, which can help boost patients' self-confidence.

Full or Partial Dentures
These removable appliances serve to replace missing teeth. Full dentures cover the entire upper and lower jaws. They rest atop the gums and are generally used for people who have no healthy teeth remaining (or at least very few). Partial dentures can be used when only some teeth are missing. They are held in place with clasps or other attachments.

Root Canals
A root canal refers to the process of removing damaged or infected nerve tissue in teeth and replacing it with special filling material. Root canal treatment can help save teeth that might otherwise have to be removed. By taking out the infected tissue and replacing it with a composite filling, a damaged tooth can often be permanently restored.

Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth often need to be extracted whether they are impacted or exposed. Most people's mouths do not have room for their third set of molars known as wisdom teeth. As a result, wisdom teeth may become trapped, or impacted, within the gums where they can cause damage to a patient's bite and other teeth. Even exposed wisdom teeth may crowd other teeth and require extraction. By removing wisdom teeth, a patient's smile can be preserved.

Gum Surgery
Gum surgery refers to the process of eliminating diseased gum tissue and improving the architecture of underlying bone. Gum tissue may be removed for either practical or cosmetic reasons. In some cases, gum tissue may form a pocket around the tooth that is vulnerable to bacteria and therefore to gum disease. Gum tissue may also be removed to create a more attractive smile. Whether gum surgery is done for health-related or cosmetic reasons, the bone structure beneath the gums may also need to be corrected.
