Had an excellent experience here for scaling, polishing, and making new retainers. The receptionist, dental assistants, and doctors are all friendly, polite, and professional. They are also transparent with their pricing, which the doctors will tell you upfront before performing any procedures / you can easily WhatsApp them to check price ranges and book an appointment. Dr. Bok was very detailed in her examination and took the time to explain the condition of my teeth before starting the procedures. She is very gentle and constantly checks if I am feeling any discomfort. I’ve had stains on my teeth since removing my braces 5 years ago, and Dr. Bok is the first dentist in all these years to notice and address this issue. It shows that she goes beyond the standard treatment to really assess what my teeth need and provide the best care possible. Highly recommend!Posted on zy lohTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My friend and I did scaling and polishing here and both doctors are very friendly and informative during the entire procedure.

Both Invisalign and Angelalign are systems of clear, removable aligners that orthodontically straighten teeth. As an Angelalign Emerald Provider, we provide a trusted, nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces.
Traditional braces are a time-tested and powerful solution for correcting even the most complex dental issues. We offer high-quality metal braces designed to effectively move your teeth into their ideal positions.
A dental implant is a long-term, fixed solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. It involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root, which is then fitted with a dental crown. This restores chewing function, appearance, and overall oral stability.
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of teeth. They are used to improve the appearance of teeth affected by discoloration, chips, gaps, or uneven shapes. Veneers help create a more balanced, natural-looking smile.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to lighten the color of your natural teeth and remove stains and discoloration. It is not a one-time solution but a process that can significantly enhance the brightness of your smile.
Teeth polishing is a professional dental procedure, typically performed by a dentist or dental hygienist, that smooths the tooth surfaces and removes minor surface stains. It’s often the final, finishing step of a routine dental cleaning.
