We now contract with an experienced dental surgeon to provide specialized care for in-office wisdom teeth extractions with IV sedation for teenagers and young adults. Your teen receives specialized care in our relaxed, familiar rainforest office, sleeping peacefully through the procedure with dedicated monitoring and post-op support.
Prevention is our passion
Dr. Yip stresses early preventive care: "There is simply no reason to have major dental problems anymore because there are so many ways to prevent cavities. Proper oral hygiene, sealants, and nutritious diets can all prevent future problems."
Good dental habits are established early in life — and in part, they will determine the oral health of an individual. We look forward to meeting you and your child!
