Keeping Your Smile Bright!
We are thrilled to welcome you back into our office!
Please review our current and new protocols prior to your appointment.
Taking good care of your teeth goes beyond daily brushing and flossing. We now know that there is a very strong connection between your oral health and whole body health. By keeping your teeth and gums healthy, not only can future dental problems often be prevented but can also aid in good overall health.
The essence of what Dr. Chee and her team love about pediatric dentistry is helping children enjoy their dental visits by infusing the office with fun, laughter, and comfort. She welcomes children of all ages, and encourages you to bring your child in after they turn one. The key to a healthy mouth is establishing a good oral hygiene regimen early in a child’s life.
Dr. Chee practices restorative dentistry, encompassing preventative treatment, crowns, bridges, bonded restorations, onlays and inlays, and advanced restorations including dental implant restorations and dentures. Restorative dentistry involves the diagnosis, management and restoration of the functional and aesthetic requirements of each individual.
Creating a beautiful smile and helping you to maintain that smile is what Dr. Chee and her staff love to do. There are several aspects of cosmetic dentistry, including whitening, veneers, bonding, crowns, and more. Ask Dr. Chee and she’ll help you understand what is possible and determine the next steps to getting the smile you’ve always wanted!

NEW PATIENTS: For an efficient and smooth experience, please complete the New Patient form and bring it in to the office for your First Appointment.
I ask for you to familiarize yourself with the environment we have designed for you and for our staff. So that when you have an appointment with us, you can be a part of our protocols, and will have some peace of mind coming in for your visit.
In our clinical rooms, we already have stringent infection control policies as our Standard Universal Protocol that has always been in place, assumes that any patient may have infections unknown to them and us- some infections, like CoVid 19 are also airborne diseases. However, we will add a couple more protocols that will enhance our current practices. One of the new safety features we are excited about are the 7 medical grade HEPA filter air purifiers we have added in our office!
In our front office and waiting area, our current protocol is to wipe down all counters after each patient. Outside/inside door handles have plastic barriers that are removed after each patient as well. However, there are a few additional measures we are taking, and we ask for you to review and support them, as they are to provide an additional level of safety for everyone.
We are confident that in both the clinical rooms and non clinical office areas, we are able to keep both the patients and staff safe and healthy.
Please review our protocols for patients who will visit our office:
We ask for your patience as we all walk through these new procedures and protocols together.
