Solid preventive care is the foundation for your oral and overall health. Good at-home hygiene habits, in combination with professional cleanings, can keep your smile free from decay and other oral health issues like gum disease and bone loss. Regular exams with our Milpitas dentist allows us to monitor your oral health so you can address any minor concerns before they become larger, more costly, and more invasive.
We get it, it can be a bit too easy to put off your bi-annual dental exam and we don't blame you, life gets busy! But remember, skipping your appointments can cost even more time and money in the future. Coming in twice a year allows us to catch small issues before they become time-consuming, expensive problems. Regular check-ups only take about an hour and we assure you that we will make it a comfortable process. Let's keep that smile of yours healthy!
Regular teeth cleanings and hygiene appointments are the foundation of preventive dental care. During your cleaning, we will thoroughly cleanse your teeth and gums, removing any plaque or debris from every surface in your mouth. You’ll even be able to reverse minor stains to keep your smile bright and beautiful. We recommend scheduling routine cleanings and exams every six months for most patients.
However, good oral hygiene shouldn’t stop when you leave our office. Keeping up with your at-home brushing and flossing routine is equally as important as attending professional cleanings, and is the best way to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Use a fluoride-rich toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush to brush your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes at a time; and don’t forget to floss! Flossing at least once every day, ideally before going to bed, helps to get rid of food particles, plaque, and bacteria that can’t be removed with brushing alone.
Digital x-rays are safe, quick, and comfortable. Using the latest technology, we obtain crisp, high-resolution images of your mouth’s structure, so we can make accurate diagnoses and treatment plans. Digital x-rays use only a fraction of the radiation as traditional film x-rays, so you can rest easy. Most patients receive one or two full sets of x-rays every year, but we may recommend additional imaging in the case of a dental emergency, or if we find an oral health issue that we need to investigate further.
The American Dental Association and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists have both deemed that prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oral conditions, including dental x-rays (with shielding of the abdomen and thyroid) and local anesthesia (lidocaine with or without epinephrine), are safe during pregnancy. Feel free to bring this up when you visit us if you have any questions or concerns!
Fluoride treatments are one of the best ways to keep dental decay at bay. A simple, non-invasive procedure, fluoride treatments help to keep your enamel strong. After your cleaning, we’ll apply a fluoride-rich varnish or gel; we may ask you to refrain from eating or drinking anything for 30 minutes or so following your visit. Fluoride helps strengthen the enamel, making it more resistant to acids from plaque, bacteria, and sugary foods that cause cavities.
Dental sealants are a great way for patients to protect their teeth from decay. Dental sealants are often recommended for children, but can still be a great option for patients of all ages. Plus, dental sealants can provide protection for your teeth for years after being applied.
Applying dental sealants is a quick, non-invasive procedure that utilizes a dental resin that is applied to the molars. The uneven surface of molars, which are located in the rear of the mouth, are filled with grooves where plaque and bacteria can flourish. After application, the resin is cured with a UV light, causing it to harden into a powerful barrier between your teeth and the foods, drinks, acid, and bacteria that lead to decay.
Dental emergencies can be painful, stressful experiences, but we're here to help. If you're experiencing a dental emergency, the first thing to do is take a deep breath and keep calm. Then, give us a call to find out if you need immediate care. Dental emergencies can be anything from a knocked-out tooth or dental work to a persistent toothache. If you're unsure if what you're experiencing qualifies as a dental emergency, it's better to be safe than sorry, so get in touch with us right away so you can get the care you need when you need it.
When left untreated, gum disease can have serious effects on your oral and overall health. Gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss can occur without proper treatment, so scheduling regular checkups for treatment is essential. Our team can keep gum disease from compromising your smile through a variety of periodontal treatments, such as deep cleanings (also known as scaling and root planing). If your gums are inflamed or bleed easily, if you have persistent bad breath, sensitive teeth, or notice any changes in your bite, get in touch with us today. We'll schedule a consultation to get your smile back on a healthy path.
Oral cancer screenings are a part of every preventive visit, and are a quick way to fortify your peace of mind. Through consistent exams, we can catch oral cancer early on, which gives us a better chance at treating it before it spreads. A routine oral cancer screening can even save your life!
Your dentist will examine your gums, tongue, and the rest of the soft tissues in your mouth, keeping an eye out for lesions and other abnormalities like lumps and discolorations. If there is anything that concerns us, we may recommend getting a biopsy, which will be analyzed by a specialist to determine the cause of the abnormality. Regular oral cancer screenings allow us to identify any potential problems before they become major issues.
Unconscious teeth grinding and clenching, known as bruxism, is a common issue that tends to happen at night while patients are asleep. However, night guards can help patients alleviate symptoms of bruxism by creating a barrier between your teeth that protects them from grinding-related damage. Depending on the severity of the case, night guards can be made from several different materials with varying degrees of softness.
Sports guards are worn over the teeth, and are specifically designed to protect your mouth from oral trauma caused by high-impact sports. Many sports put players at risk for dental injuries caused by collisions to the mouth, face, or head, but a custom-fitted sports guard can help protect you from chipping, cracking, or knocking out a tooth. Tailored to fit your unique smile, sports guards are both comfortable and durable, so you can play the sports you love without missing a beat.
A sports guard is essential if you’re an athlete who plays football, basketball, baseball, soccer, rugby, hockey, gymnastics, mountain biking, or if you participate in any other activities that put you at risk for injury due to falling, body contact, or flying objects.
Does your jaw click or pop when you open your mouth? Do you regularly experience soreness, tension, or find it hard to enjoy your favorite foods? You may have a form of TMJ/TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder). Fortunately, there are a variety of minimally invasive treatments that can provide you with the relief you deserve. Don't live with jaw pain; get in touch with us today to find out how we can help you alleviate your TMJ/TMD so you can get back to living life with a smile.
My wife and I visited Dr Wong yesterday. It was our initial visit with Dr Wong referred by our friend. We felt very confident in his ability to advise us about our dental health concerns. Dr Wong was easy to talk with. He was so professional, so kind and shew real concern for our dental health. Both the Dr and the staff were doing very well. I highly recommend Dr Wong.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Earnest Dental Care, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The office is bright, clean, and welcoming. The front desk was friendly and efficient, ensuring that my check-in process was smooth. Dr. Wong is incredibly professional. During my appointment, he took the time to explain each step of the process, which made me feel at ease. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Wong to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dentist. The combination of a friendly atmosphere, professional staff.
I’m giving them a solid 5 stars! The office is super clean and nicely organized. Dr. Wong and his team really know how to take care of their patients. Dr. Wong made me feel totally at ease — he speaks in such a calm and gentle way that it really helped with my fear of going to the dentist. He was also very gentle during the cleaning, and I didn’t feel any pain at all. He took his time to explain what was going on with my teeth and what needed to be done, and I really appreciated that. I'm so glad I found him — it’s a pleasure having him as my new dentist. I’d highly recommend Dr. Wong and his team to anyone looking for a kind, patient, and trustworthy dentist.
Dr. Wong and the team at Earnest Dental Care are outstanding. From the welcoming front desk to the gentle, thorough hygienists, every visit is smooth and stress-free. Dr. Wong explains treatment options clearly, never rushes, and uses a light touch—my procedures have been painless and precise. The office is spotless, scheduling is easy, and billing is transparent. I always feel genuinely cared for here. Highly recommended!
My experience is has the best dental experience I’ve ever had. I’ve always been avoidant going to the dentist due to past bad experiences always dreaded going to the dentist. Dr. Wong demonstrated what comprehensive, transparent, and compassionate care is all about. He took time with reviewing each and every detail on the X-Rays, followed by doing a 3D scan of your mouth and going even more in depth as well. This helped me understand the conditions and what good versus bad teeth and gum health looked like. After that he proceeded with the cleaning and while he mentioned that there is an old filling that shows sign that it may need to be refilled in the future, he was very transparent and honest stating that since it didn’t require immediate attention, we will continue to monitor on our 6 month check-ups and proceed if appropriate. Overall I felt the entire experience to be informative, seamless, honest, and comfortable. His dental assistant, Amelia was also very helpful with rinsing and suctioning the water along the process so it was never uncomfortable. Highly recommend this clinic!
I can’t recommend Dr. Wong and his practice enough! After years of dental anxiety due to bad experiences, I was genuinely impressed by the care and professionalism I experienced here. Dr. Wong takes the time to thoroughly examine each tooth and explains everything in detail, making sure you understand what’s going on. He’s incredibly patient, answers all your questions, and stays up-to-date with the latest technology, which shows his commitment to continuously improving his practice. When I had a tooth pulled, it was the most transparent and comfortable experience I’ve ever had. Dr. Wong didn’t just tell me I needed the extraction; he showed me the X-rays, graphs, and photos to explain the infection and why it was necessary. It felt more like a true consultation than a procedure. I’m so impressed with the level of care that even if I moved out of the Bay Area, I would fly back just to see Dr. Wong. If you’re looking for a dentist who truly cares about their patients and takes the time to provide exceptional service, I highly recommend visiting Dr. Wong.
I recently visited Dr Wong for a routine cleaning, and I was thoroughly impressed with the exceptional service I received! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the state-of-the-art equipment and the pristine condition of the facilities. It's clear that Dr Wong is committed to staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in dental technology. What truly set my experience apart, however, was the outstanding care and attention I received from the dentist and their team. They took the time to listen to my concerns and address each one with kindness and professionalism. The dentist's attitude towards customer care is genuinely impressive. It's clear that they are dedicated to providing top-notch service and ensuring that every patient feels valued and supported. My experience with Dr Wong has left me feeling confident and trusting in their expertise. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate dentist. Thank you, Dr. Wong, for a truly exceptional dental experience!.
I give them a 5 star because as soon as you enter, you're greeted with a welcoming smile from Araceli. The office is very clean and organized. Dr Wong made me feel comfortable and he talks in a very well modulated tone, casting away my fear of sitting in a dentist chair. He was very gentle while doing the cleaning and carefully explained what was wrong and what was needed to be done with my teeth. It was a pleasure to have him as my new dentist. I would definitely refer him to my family and friends!
Dr. Wong and Dr. Huang are amazing! They scheduled me (a new patient) in at the last minute to treat an issue with my gums. They quickly diagnosed and treated the area, clearly explained the situation, and gave me the tools to take care of it after the visit. Both were very kind, organized, efficient, professional, and knowledgeable. The dental office itself is also very new, clean, and beautifully designed. Highly recommend this dental team and office. :)
I arrived and the doctor was very nice and helpful, normal doctors don’t tell you in detail what’s going on with you’re teeth but Doctor Earnest broke it down for me he did a 3d screen of my teeth it was like a whole new world. I was able to see what he was looking at and truly understand what was going on with my teeth. I recommend him 1000%
