During these uncertain times with COVID-19, we’ve had calls from some of our patients because they are experiencing some kind of tooth pain. They really don’t want to wait to see if “it will get better”. Normally, they would just call and come in for an appointment. However, because of the lockdowns, they are uncertain what they can do about this pain, and even if they can see a dentist.
In this post, we’ll address a common patient concern of a crown coming loose and falling off.Read More...

There are many choices in orthodontic treatment. Some people get the traditional brackets and metal wires braces. Others go for a clear, wire-free look (such as Invisalign) because they are almost invisible. Depending on the severity of misalignment, it can take a long time to move teeth into a healthy position.
Damon Braces use a technology similar to traditional braces but with a few extra benefits. We are able to takes one’s overall appearance into account. Dr Eric Wang of who has been trained to perform orthodontic treatment with Damon Braces can predict how teeth will move as a person ages and create an alignment that is healthy for a lifetime. Also, Damon braces may move teeth faster, allowing our patients to quickly improve their smile and move on with their lives.Read More...
When teeth are crooked or overlapping, you may think that the only remedy is with some form of orthodontic treatment. In some cases, this may be true.

Cosmetic dental treatment with veneers can do quite a bit for your smile.
When working with veneers, we take into account the overall shape and size of your teeth. We want each tooth to have a nice overall size, width, and shape at the end of the cosmetic process, so in order to fix an overlap or misalignment, it may be necessary to cover multiple teeth.Read More...
