Services
Dental Exams
Our comprehensive dental exams include diagnostic x-rays, oral cancer screenings, and gum disease evaluation. Using advanced imaging technology, we detect hidden dental abnormalities while assessing overall oral health. The process helps identify early signs of decay, bone loss, and other potential issues before they become serious problems requiring complex treatments.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments effectively remove stains caused by food, beverages, and medications. Our prescription-grade system safely lightens natural tooth enamel while maintaining dental health. We provide customized trays for home use, ensuring even results that match individual aesthetic goals while considering existing dental work.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers nearly invisible orthodontic treatment using custom-made aligning trays. This system corrects bite issues and straightens teeth without traditional metal braces. Patients receive new trays every six weeks, with treatment duration depending on case complexity and patient compliance with wearing schedules.
Restorative Dentistry
We specialize in repairing damaged teeth through composite fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures. Our tooth-colored restorations blend naturally with existing teeth while restoring function. Treatments address cracks, fractures, decay, and missing teeth, using durable materials that maintain structural integrity and aesthetic appearance.
Oral Surgery
Our oral surgery services include tooth removal for severely damaged or decayed teeth. We use local anesthesia for routine extractions, with referrals to specialists for complex cases requiring general anesthesia. Post-operative care instructions ensure proper healing, with options for replacing extracted teeth through implants or bridges.

Report
Thankfully went to other dentist as they found a cavity had not been fully removed before filling was put on top, resulting in further deterioration of the tooth and a more intensive filling being required. also, routinely told me my wisdom teeth were coming in fine, only to find out all were impacted with one going into my jaw bone. Part of my jaw bone had to be removed to extract the tooth.

I phoned their office yesterday morning because of pain from swollen gum, spoke with Agnieszka who kindly helped me get in touch with Dr. Chu (Thanks so much Agnieszka). After exchanges of emails, Dr. Chu was able to alleviate my dental situation. Not enough words to say Thanks and how very grateful I am, as always, to you Dr. Chu and colleagues for your excellent professional care, kindness, empathy, generous spirit, and consideration.
