Dentist - Fort Worth, TX

First off, you’ll need to call our practice right away if you’re experiencing a dental emergency. Someone on our team will be able to help guide you on your next steps as well as pencil you in for an appointment. That said, if your situation is more serious or life-threatening, such as uncontrollable bleeding, difficulty breathing/swallowing, or a broken jaw, you’ll want to visit your local ER instead. They might not be equipped to manage dental issues, but they can provide antibiotics and alleviate your symptoms at the very least. Once you’re safe, come to our office so we can resolve your oral health problem. We welcome same-day appointments and offer convenient evening hours. Remember: most dental emergencies stem from avoidable oral health issues, so be sure to schedule preventive treatments to help you save time, money, and trouble.

Simple! First, start by establishing what you deem important for you. This is typically a combination of several factors like location, credentials, safety, cleanliness, hours of operation, insurance, and payment/fees. You should also want to figure out the kind of treatment(s) you’re looking for. Do you need restorative care or cosmetic services, or has it been six months since you’re last dental checkup and cleaning? Not all dentists offer every kind of dental treatment, so you’ll want to find one who can provide what you’re looking for. Finally, you’ll want to check out the dental team and see how they interact with their patients. After all, you want to work with a group you can trust and that prioritizes your dental needs. You can also check out the team and dentist bios on their website to know more about everyone’s background and credentials.

While there isn’t a particular designation that qualifies a dentist to be a cosmetic dentist, you’ll want to look for a professional who has extensive training in aesthetic dental procedures. Various organizations offer advanced courses on cosmetic dental treatments, such as the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). Fortunately, Dr. Cheng is a proud and active member of this prestigious organization, and he regularly seeks continuing education to refine his skills and expertise in improving patients’ pearly whites!

Remember, dentistry is mostly about prevention, so seeking dental checkups and cleanings every six months can help you save more money in the long run. However, if something happens when you least expect it, you’ll want to have a way to pay for the necessary dental treatments without worrying too much about the price. If you have dental insurance, make sure to consult your provider to know the details of your coverage. To further help you, our team offers plans through CareCredit that can help split the total cost of your treatment into small monthly installments that come with little to no interest!
