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
A periodontist on the team
Dr. Pearl Tran, a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, is part of the team for gum and periodontal care.
Hygienists who know you
Angelisa has cared for patients here since 2008, and Helen brings more than 15 years of dental hygiene experience.
Garden-facing treatment rooms
Treatment rooms look out on a quiet courtyard garden at our Cambridge Avenue office.
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 worksHave 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.
