Meet your dentist

A dentist who explains before he treats

Dr. Christopher B. Wong graduated from the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in 2018. He favors prevention, early detection, and keeping as much natural tooth structure as possible, and he explains what he sees before recommending treatment.

His clinical focus includes Invisalign, implant restoration, and restorative care.

The team behind your visit

  • Dr. Pearl Tran

    A periodontist on the team

Insurance & cost

Know your cost before you commit

“Out-of-network” sounds more alarming than it is. Most PPO plans still contribute, and you'll hear what your plan is expected to pay, and what you'd pay, before treatment begins.

How out-of-network coverage works
  • Have PPO insurance?

    We’re out-of-network, but most PPO plans still pay a share of your care here. Send us your plan and we’ll check your benefits and explain your portion before treatment.

  • No dental insurance?

    Ask about our in-house dental plan, which offers savings on preventive care and treatment.

  • Ways to pay

    We accept Visa, MasterCard, and FSA/HSA funds.
