OUR MISSION

OUR APPROACH

​

​

Our mission as individual dental professionals is to make a difference in a patient’s life. We care deeply about our patients and what we do to help them maintain dental health for a lifetime. We will continue to grow in our professional skills through continuing education and dedication to be the best. Our mission as a dental team is to work together as a unit to provide the best dental care available for all ages, caring for them as we would family members. We treat our patients with patience and kindness. We are committed as a team to avoid complacency, choosing instead to stay on the cutting edge of dentistry through continuing education and use of the latest and best treatment modalities, materials, sterilization techniques, and technology.

OUR MISSION

 

Our goal is to eliminate the oral health diseases that chronically affect our community. We do so by educating our community on oral health care, hygiene visits twice a year, educating our patients on preventative care.

​

We build long-lasting relationships by exceeding our patients’ expectations, create value for dentistry through education, and enhance lives.

Routine Exams

 

Regular dental exams help protect not just your oral health, but also your overall health. For instance, signs and symptoms of some systemic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and diabetes, might show up in the mouth first.

The American Dental Association recommends that adults schedule regular dental exams at intervals determined by a dentist.

Periodontal Disease
​
​

Periodontal disease is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It's typically caused by poor oral hygiene habits that cause a build up of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that hardens. This can lead to inflamed gums, soft tissue damage, receding gums, pockets between teeth and gums, bone loss, and tooth loss. 

​

Early signs of gum disease:

  • Red gums

  • Bleeding when your brush or floss

  • Bad breath

​

Overall health risks: Problems that start in your mouth can spread to the rest of your body. Severe gum infections may increase the risk of:

  • Heart disease

  • Stroke

  • Lung diseases

  • Problems in pregnancy

  • Complications related to diabetes

​
​

Invisalign is the world's latest and most advanced in alignment technology that uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners to shift teeth, giving you a healthy beautiful smile. 

​

1. Fewer restrictions on food & activities

 2. 2X faster than traditional metal braces- shorter treatment time, appointments, and number of visits

 3. No broken brackets and uncomfortable wires requiring

emergency appointments

 4. Brushing and flossing is a breeze for better oral health

 

Invisalign® has successfully improved over 8 million smiles, including 1.4 million teen smiles!

Benefits of Correcting Malocclusion

 

Malocclusion is the abnormal alignment of teeth. Misaligned teeth can lead to premature wear, tooth loss, gum disease. and the buildup of bacteria that can be associated with more serious health problems like heart disease. More than seven out of ten American adults have an issue with their bit, such as crowding, spacing, or overbite. 

  • Healthier gums: aligned teeth makes it easier to brush and floss, decreasing the likelihood of bacteria getting trapped in pockets between gums and teeth. 

  • Improved hygiene: properly aligned teeth reduce plaque retention, tooth decay, and the risk of gum disease

  • Less wear and trauma: aligned teeth reduce the risk of tooth wear, breakage, and chipping, as well as stress on the jawbone and joints

WELCOME BACK!

Dear Patients and Families:

​

 We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.

Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agencies’ recommendations.

​

You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:

​

  • Setting up an Appointment: Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. You’ll be asked those same questions again when you are in the office.

  • Modified Patient Check-In: Patients will Check-in by text or phone.

  • Hand Washing/Sanitation: We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also be asked to wash your hands before leaving our office.

  • Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean that you’re offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment.

  • We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the office at one time.

​

We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice.

​

Thank you for trusting Town Center Dental to continue to provide you and your family exceptional dental care. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends.

​

Sincerely,

Jacob Chae, D.M.D. & Team

Tips to improve Hygiene: 
  • Wash your hands often with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. 
  • Disinfect frequently touched surfaces like doorknobs, cell phones, light switches, remote controls, etc. 
Red Toothbrush
  • Replace your toothbrush often (every 3-4 months or when bristles are worn down), store upright and inches apart from one another.
  • DO NOT share a toothbrush. This can result in exchange of saliva and microorganisms that spread bacteria and viruses.
  • DO NOT share food, drinks, utensils, straws, places, cups, etc.

  • Also, avoid biting fingernails. This can result in direct contact with microorganisms that spread bacteria and viruses.

FAQ: Am I brushing correctly?
Wooden Toothbrushes
Common Brushing Mistakes

1.   Not brushing long enough: Teeth should be brushed for 2 minutes, twice a day. Play 2 minutes of a song, set a timer, or brush with someone in your household to keep each other accountable on time. Minimizing the 2 minutes can decrease the effectiveness.

2.   Brushing too hard: Brushing harder does not remove more leftover food and bacteria. Gentle brushing is all the best way to go – it can avoid damage to your gums too!

3.   Brushing Right after Eating: Wait 60 minutes before brushing-especially if you had anything acidic like citrus or carbonated beverages.

4.   Store your toothbrush properly: Keep your toothbrush upright and let it air dry to avoid the growth of bacteria. Do not keep your toothbrush in a closed container and make sure to regularly swap out your toothbrush every 3-4 months or when it starts to look worn down.

5.   Using a Toothbrush that might not be the Best Fit: Soft bristles are the safest, consult Dr. Park to see which toothbrush is right for you.

6.   Improper Brushing Technique: Brush at a 45 degree angle to the gums and gently move the brush back and forth in short strokes. Watch the YouTube video above from the American Dental Association for an in depth look at how to properly brush and floss for optimal oral hygiene.

FAQ: How do I get my child to brush?

Maintaining Good Oral Health with Good Dental Hygiene Habits

1.   Brush your teeth twice a day for 2 minutes and floss daily between teeth.

​

2.   Dental visits should be AT LEAST once a year, even if you have no natural teeth, have dentures, and more frequently if you have more restorations. If you do not plan on going to the dentist every 6 months, practicing good oral hygiene at home is crucial in maintaining good oral health.

​

3.   Do not use any tobacco products and limit alcoholic beverages.

​

4.   If you have diabetes, maintain the disease. This will help decrease any risk for other complications, including gum disease.

​

5.   The elderly have a difficult time brushing and flossing, but this does not mean that these practices be avoided. Electric toothbrushes and flossing tools have made it easier for those who may have difficulty brushing or for those who want to make sure they are cleaning efficiently.

​

6.   AVOID sugary drink and foods, hard candies, lollipops, sugary gums, cough drops, and mints. All of these can contribute to tooth decay because they continuously coat the teeth with sugar.
