Atwater Family Dental Care

Dental Examination
The good news is that Atwater Family Dental can help to identify signs early and teach you how to prevent tooth loss. Contact our office at (209) 358-0800 for your next dental exam.

Teeth Cleaning
An ultrasonic cleaning device uses water spray and vibration to finish removing plaque and the hard deposits called tartar or calculus. Tartar is calcified plaque and will not come off with brushing or flossing.
Fluoride Treatment

Fillings
Veneers
Veneer is used to enhance smile without taking away a lot of tooth structure. With advances in bonding, veneer is getting thinner and more predictable. Planning is the key.
Crowns
Beauty is subjective and nature might not be perfect. What happens when beautiful teeth are perceived as unnatural? We will definitely have a discussion when we are working on multiple crowns on your front teeth.
Bridges
A fixed bridge is a dental appliance that replaces one or more missing teeth—thus “bridging” the space between the two adjacent natural teeth or implants. Check out the flyer.
Dental Bonding

Root Canal Treatment
Here is the progression. Bacteria goes deep into the tooth and into the pulp where the nerve is. Pain and discomfort until the nerve is dead. Then surprisingly no pain. Bacteria do not go away, but keep growing. Once bacteria go out to the end of the tooth into the gum and bone area, that is where the pain is coming from. At this point, when you see me, I will give you some antibiotic and bring you back for root canal treatment. At the root canal appointment, we get your numb. We clean out the cavity and the pulp. Then we fill in the root canal system and seal the tooth.

Deep Cleaning
Deep cleaning is officially called Scaling and Root Planning (S/RP). Using the pocket depths measurement as a guide to remove bacteria, plaque and tartar buildup underneath the gumline. Anesthesia is generally used to around the gum tissue to make you comfortable. The ultrasonic machine is used to go deep into the pocket to remove the hard deposits of tartar.

Dentures
Wearing the Atwater Family Dental labcoat because I was freezing at five in the morning. Treating people who camped outside. Seeing wave after wave of people. Someone cried after getting her dentures after twenty years without teeth.

Dental Implants
The interesting thing is bone will integrate with the implant, but it does take time. Just like anything in our mouth, we need to have good oral hygiene to keep those implant in place.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Gum Surgery
After the visit, you are in charge of your home care and will be seen and re-measured every three months. When your pockets improve or reduce to 2-3 millimeters, the cleaning appointment will go back to every 6 months. However, if your pockets do not improve and your gum stays inflamed or gets worse, Eric will recommend sending you to the periodontist, the gum specialist, for an evaluation when gum surgery will likely need to be done.
Tooth Extractions
Dental implant is growing in popularity. If there is only a hole or socket, there is no bone to hold onto the implant. In addition, gum and bone shrinks after extraction. This is especially important for front tooth extractions. Imagine a big gap between your restored tooth and the gum. Bone graft or bone augmentation is a solution. After the extraction, a filling material fills the socket.

Invisalign Orthodontics
Braces
MI Paste is a prescription I recommend a lot, especially for those people having or had braces. MI stands for minimal invasive. With brackets and braces, it is so hard to keep your teeth clean. The bacteria and food will demineralize teeth and leave some white spots on your teeth. The MI Paste can remineralize your teeth and bring the natural tooth color back to life.

Teeth Whitening
We need to pay attention to mouthwash. The literature says Listerine Original, but you have to follow the instruction. If you have bad breath, check with me and brush your teeth and your tongue. The trouble with mouthwash is there are some many bottles now. Some bottle says anti-gum disease, some bottle says anti-cavity, some bottle says whitening and some bottle says all of the above...
Cosmetic Dentistry
Eric Cheung and his staff are dedicated to provide comprehensive dental care to you and your family at the most reasonable price. Preventive care and good oral hygiene are our main focus. Eric performs restorative and cosmetic dentistry such as tooth color fillings, porcelain veneers, crown, and bridge, implant crown, tooth whitening and also professional cleaning, night guard, anti-snoring device, root canal treatment, extraction, partial and complete dentures along with sedation dentistry. We treat toddlers to people over 100 years old. Toothache and other emergency appointment welcome. Most PPO insurance, credit card, cash and cheque accepted. We are not Medi-cal and HMO providers at this time. Care credit and other payment plan available. New Patients Welcome.
General Dentistry
In 2008, Eric received his Doctoral degree from University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). He was working in Bakersfield and Delano for five years and a year in Los Angeles before choosing Atwater to have his practice. During his career, he received the Fellowship from Academy of General Dentistry.
