A Broad Range of Services

We offer a complete range of services, with a special concentration on restorative and surgical procedures. These include:

Preventive Care Services

We consider ourselves a preventive practice. We stress the importance of regular cleanings, checkups, and fluoride treatment to prevent problems before they occur.

• Cleaning: we take the time to do very thorough cleanings with a gentle touch
• Regular Checkups
• Dental Sealants
• Patient Education
• Snoreguards
• Nightguards
• Mouthguards
• Breath Treatment

Restorative Services

We are committed to restoring your mouth to excellent function. We do everything needed to help you feel better, chew better, and look as natural as possible. We also make sure that the work we do will last a long time.

• All-Porcelain Crowns - using the highest-grade materials and the finest dental laboratories
• Tooth-Colored Fillings
• Porcelain Veneers
• Whitening
• Bridges
• Dentures & Partial Dentures
• Root Canals
• Dental Implants (non-surgical, restorative procedures)

Gum Disease

Because of his advanced training and certifications, Dr. Chu is qualified to perform periodontal surgery in the office. Of course, we always try to remedy gum problems through non-surgical procedures first. With intravenous sedation you will be comfortable and relaxed, and will have little or no memory of the procedure.

Cosmetic Services

We have a special interest in cosmetic dentistry, and are able to provide extensive services. For example, we have helped patients eliminate a "gummy smile" by removing excess gum tissue which exposes more of the teeth, creating a beautiful full smile. We also replace old crowns (which often show a dark, metallic shadow along the gum line) with all-porcelain crowns. We also offer:

• Invisalign Orthodontics
• Tooth-Colored Fillings
• Porcelain Veneers
• At-Home Whitening Systems

Technology and Patient Comfort

Our offices are equipped with digital imaging, low-emissions x-ray machines, sterilized hand pieces, and other technical innovations to improve your treatment and safety. Many patients particularly enjoy the intra oral camera, which allows them to see pictures of what's going on in their mouth and helps them make educated decisions. Our technology includes:

• Digital Imaging
• Digital Radiography
• Intra Oral Camera
• Sedation Dentistry (IV sedation, oral sedation)
• Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas)
• Heat Sterilization
• Independent Water Supply for each patient
• Patient Comfort Measures - including state-of-the-art dental chairs, headphones, blankets and pillows, and a special "Comfort Menu" which allows patients a full range of anesthesia options.
