General & Family Dentistry

We’re dedicated to helping you maintain good oral health and an amazing smile for life. General dentist Dr. Sophorn and Dr Chakrya will educate you about the condition of your smile and provide an honest evaluation of recommended treatment options. At your dental cleaning, the hygienist will arm you with the skills to combat gum disease and keep teeth and gums in excellent shape through effective daily homecare.

In addition to comprehensive checkups and cleanings, our family-friendly general dentistry services include:

• Children’s Dentistry: Kids who learn at a young age that dental care can be fun may be more likely to take care of their smiles as they grow older. Dr. Sophorn/Chakrya will gently examine your child’s smile to assess proper development. He often recommends dental sealants or a fluoride treatment to prevent cavities and keep kids – and their parents – smiling!


• Gum Disease Therapy: Healthy gums form the foundation of a strong smile. Many adults have some form of periodontal (gum) disease, so we’ll thoroughly examine your soft tissues to resolve problems quickly. Dr. Sophorn/Chakrya offers non-surgical gum disease treatments to prevent the tooth loss and serious overall health problems gum disease can cause.


• Extractions: An extraction may be the most conservative course of action to remove an irreparably damaged tooth, prepare your mouth for dentures or dental implants, or improve the appearance of a crowded smile. An extraction performed with sedation delivers a comfortable experience.


• Nightguards for Teeth Grinding: Lots of people react to stress by unknowingly grinding their teeth and clenching their jaw during the night. If you awaken with a sore jaw or a headache, you may suffer from this condition, medically known as bruxism. A custom-fitted nightguard that rests comfortably between teeth prevents clenching and grinding, so you wake up refreshed.


• Snoring & Sleep Apnea Therapy: Do you snore? You may also have sleep apnea, a common condition that can jeopardize overall health and quality of life. Dr. Sophorn/Chakrya eliminates snoring and sleep apnea with customized oral appliance therapy. A small, comfortable nightguard keeps airways open so you get the restorative slumber you deserve.


• Tooth Decay: 90% of adults have experienced some level of tooth decay. We’re trying to change that. With regular cleanings, proper home-care, and pro-active treatments, we can protect your tooth structure from attacking plaque and bacteria. Our doctors may recommend dental sealants (anti-cavity coatings) or fluoride supplements (tooth-strengthening mineral) for an extra measure of prevention.


• Periodontal examination: All patients should receive a comprehensive periodontal examination. Such an examination includes discussion with the patient regarding the chief complaint, medical and dental history review, clinical examination, and radiographic analysis. Microbiologic, genetic, biochemical, or other diagnostic tests may also be useful, on an individual basis, for assessing the periodontal status of selected patients or sites. Some or all of the following procedures may be included in a comprehensive periodontal examination.
