FAQs

How can I improve my smile?

That sounds like an easy question to answer, but it isn't! Your smile is unique, and we won't compromise your individuality with smile enhancements. Smile design dentistry done right requires an initial consultation in which we will discuss your goals, preferences, and options for care. Generally speaking, Dr. Hong or Dr. Lam may suggest porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, all-white restorations, and/or replacement teeth. After your comprehensive evaluation and consultation, we'll present a smile makeover plan for your new smile. We offer digital imaging for smile previews, as well.

My teeth are stained. Can you help?

How can you straighten my smile without using metal braces?

Everyone is unique. Depending on your individual case, we may suggest porcelain veneers or Invisalign clear braces. Read more about these procedures in our dental services area.

I have old, dark fillings. Is there any hope for my smile?

Dark fillings and metal crowns can be replaced with strong, esthetic solutions. Our dentists have placed composite resin fillings and non-metal crowns for years. If a dark filling is too large, however, a porcelain filling or a crown may be recommended.

My smile is missing teeth. What do you suggest I do?

You'll need to first schedule a consultation with one of our dentists for an assessment of your oral health and to discuss options for replacement teeth. In general, you can choose from dental bridges, partial or full dentures, or dental implants. As the most natural prosthetic to natural tooth structure, a dental implant offers the most long-lasting, comfortable, natural-looking choice.

Are you in network with my insurance?

We work with most major insurance companies, but not with dental HMOs. Our office will file your claim electronically.

What payment methods do you accept, and what are your financing options?

For your convenience, third-party financing is available through CareCredit, Capital One Financing, CitiHealth Card, and Chase Healthcare Financing for qualified applicants. We also accept Visa, Mastercard, and currency for your payments
