Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for permanent or removable replacement teeth that are custom-made to match your natural teeth. The implant fuses with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable base that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth. Our dental implant services restore both the appearance and functionality of your smile.

At Jane Yang DDS, we offer comprehensive cosmetic dentistry services including porcelain veneers, dental crowns, cosmetic bonding, clear aligner therapy, professional teeth whitening, and complete smile makeovers.

Professional teeth whitening at Jane Yang DDS uses powerful yet safe bleaching agents to remove stains and discoloration from your teeth. We offer both in-office treatments that deliver dramatic results in about two hours, and take-home whitening kits for gradual whitening at your convenience.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children have their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth appearing. Early dental visits help establish good oral hygiene habits, allow us to monitor dental development, and provide preventive care like fluoride treatments and dental sealants. Our gentle, kid-friendly approach makes pediatric dental visits comfortable and positive for children of all ages.

Most patients should have a professional dental cleaning every six months as part of routine preventive care. However, some patients with gum disease or other oral health issues may benefit from more frequent cleanings every 3-4 months. Regular dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that can't be removed by brushing and flossing alone, helping prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems.

We offer several types of dentures to meet different needs: complete dentures for patients missing all teeth, partial dentures to replace several missing teeth, implant-supported dentures for enhanced stability, and immediate dentures that can be placed right after tooth extraction. Dr. Yang will recommend the best option based on your oral health, budget, and lifestyle. All our dentures are custom-made for a comfortable, natural-looking fit.

A dental crown covers the entire tooth and is used when a tooth is significantly damaged, weakened, or after a root canal. A veneer is a thin shell that covers only the front surface of a tooth and is primarily used for cosmetic improvements like fixing chips, gaps, or discoloration. Crowns provide structural support and protection, while veneers enhance appearance. Dr. Yang will recommend the best option based on your tooth's condition and your aesthetic goals.

Clear aligner treatment typically takes 12-18 months for most patients, though some cases can be completed in as little as 6 months or may require up to 24 months for complex corrections. The exact timeline depends on the severity of misalignment and how consistently you wear your aligners (22 hours per day is recommended). During your consultation, Dr. Yang will evaluate your specific case and provide an estimated treatment timeline.
