Comprehensive Dental Examination
Unless you have a dental emergency that requires immediate attention, a comprehensive dental examination is done during the initial visit. After speaking with you and reviewing your medical and dental history, Dr. Su will perform a comprehensive examination which will include the detection of dental caries (cavities), periodontal charting (gum evaluation) and oral cancer screening.

Computerized Periodontal Charting
All new patients will have their periodontal health evaluated through periodontal probing. This is to assure that the gum surrounding the teeth is in good health, because gum disease, or periodontitis, can contribute to bleeding gums, bad breath, and tooth loss. All information is stored in each patient's file in the computer system.
Back to topPeriodontal Scaling and Root Planing
When gum disease is detected, it is recommended to treat it with periodontal scaling and root planing, also known as deep cleaning. This is a non-invasive procedure during which teeth are thoroughly cleaned and scaled under local anesthesia to remove the calculus (tartar) buildup which contains the bacteria that causes gum disease.
Back to topAdjunct Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment
Through the placement of medication, such as Arestin and Periochip, in the area with severe gum disease, usually right after scaling and root planing, the dentist can more effectively treat gum disease.
Back to topCavity Prevention
Sealant
This coating, placed on the biting surface of a non-decayed posterior tooth, will prevent decay for years.
Back to topFluoride Treatment
Recommended for children and adults with a high rate of dental decay.
Back to topEsthetic Dentistry
White Fillings
Resin composite fillings are more conservative and esthetic than the traditional silver amalgam fillings, and cause less sensitivity because they do not conduct cold or heat as much as metals do.
Back to topPorcelain Veneers
They are a thin layer (1mm or less) of ceramic facing customized to straighten teeth, mask stains and discoloration, or close gaps.
Back to topBonding
Similar function as veneers, but is made chairside with composite resin.
Back to topNatural-looking Crowns, Onlays, Inlays, and Bridges
With the advance of technology come esthetic materials that are so lifelike that even dental professionals have a hard time telling them apart from real teeth. No longer do we have to suffer metal or grayish edges around the gum line.
Back to topFull and Partial Dentures
They can be made with life-like teeth, flexible and light base with non-metal clasps and snug fit.
Back to topTeeth-Whitening
Yes, it works! For best results, we can jump start your teeth-whitening with a one-hour in-office whitening session, followed by a take-home custom whitening system to increase and maintain the brilliance of your smile. * Existing dental restorations such as crowns and white fillings cannot be whitened, therefore it is advisable to whiten your teeth before placing crowns and fillings for best results.
Back to topEndodontic Treatment
No, this is not your Aunt Betsy's root canal! Modern root canal treatment is done with magnification, canal apex locator, and rotary instruments to shorten the treatment duration, increase safety and success rate, and guarantee patient comfort. When a tooth is hurting or severely decayed, a root canal treatment is often the only way to save it.
Back to topImplant Services
We work with experienced surgeons and gum specialists in the area to have dental implants placed for the patients in their offices. After the implants have been successfully integrated, patients can return to our office to have crowns or bridges made for the implants.

Back to topImpeccable Sterilization Center
Each instrument is washed, disinfected in a germicidal solution with an ultrasonic cleaner, wrapped, then heat sterilized. Each instrument pouch contains an internal monitor to assure that steam penetrates into the pouch to sterilize the instruments and a spore test is conducted weekly to guarantee that the autoclave functions properly.
Back to topComputerized Charting System
It records the condition of the teeth and gum in a computer hard drive.
Back to topCavitron
An ultrasonic scaler that generates a gentle vibration to allow the effective removal of plaque and calculus (tartar) from teeth and dispersal of medicine that helps treat gum disease. Research has shown that the combined use of ultrasonic scaling and hand scaling results in cleaner teeth in a shorter length of time than either method alone. However, if you have a pacemaker in your heart, you may not be able to experience this technology. Please tell your dental professional if you have a pacemaker.
