Office
Services
Teeth cleaning and Checkups
Our team of certified hygienists use both hand instruments and an ultrasonic scaler to gently break-up and remove plaque and/or calculus around the teeth and under the gums. A comprehensive examination will be completed to create a treatment plan that suit your unique oral hygiene needs
Fillings and Restorations
Dr. Chung will carefully examine and identify any cavities, remove the decayed areas of the tooth, and then fill the space with a durable dental composite material. Patients may have the option to choose white composite fillings that match your natural teeth colour or silver amalgam fillings.
Root Canals
Dr. Chung will carefully examine and identify any cavities, remove the decayed areas of the tooth, and then fill the space with a durable dental composite material. Patients may have the option to choose white composite fillings that match your natural teeth colour or silver amalgam fillings.
Crowns
You might be a good candidate for a crown as full-coverage restoration to cover a tooth that will likely break or is too damaged to be fixed with traditional filling material. The crown will strengthen a tooth that has been affected by a root canal, grinding, decay or fracture. This procedure will require multiple visits.
Bridges
Based on your needs and circumstances, Dr. Chung may diagnose that an option for you to replace lost teeth is to create a bridge. This semi-permanent fixture will consist of one or multiple crowns, usually made out of porcelain over metal, and will span the gap between the remaining teeth. This procedure will require multiple visits.
Tooth Extractions
A tooth extraction may be needed due to the result of a severely decayed tooth, a broken tooth that cannot be repaired, a poorly positioned tooth in the mouth, such as an impacted tooth, advanced periodontal disease, or preparation for orthodontic treatment.
Dental Implants
Dr. Chung may recommend an implant as the best option for your case of a missing tooth. This procedure will be determined for ideal candidates and require multiple visits.
Orthodontics
For a healthy and straight teeth smile, good candidates will be identified for this treatment to close gaps in between teeth and rotate teeth for proper alignment. This procedure will require multiple visits.
Invisalign
A full examination of radiographs along with a smile analysis will be completed. Dr. Chung will assess what you don’t like about your smile and identify any issues with your bite or mal-alignment to find the best Invisalign treatment for you. This procedure will require multiple visits.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Whether it is bonding, inlays and onlays, porcelain veneers or whitening treatment, Dr. Chung will help you identify the best treatments for your cosmetic dentistry needs.
Dentures
Dentures come in either full or partial to help replace teeth that have become loose or lost. This treatment may require existing teeth to be prepared or extracted. Dentures may require adjustments to prevent discomfort once healing takes place. Regular dental checkups are recommended to have dentures examined and professionally cleaned.
TMJ disorder
Temporalmandibular Joint (TMJ) joint problems may be caused by excessive muscle tension, like stress and grinding of teeth while you sleep, misalignment of teeth or trauma. This can cause problems like earaches, headaches, jaw popping and muscle pains, as well as soreness in the TMJ area. Multiple appointments may be required to treat TMJ, including a professional nightguard.
What Are Regina-Area Patients Saying
I’ve been seeing Dr. Chung for the last 25+ years (since I was a toddler) and he has been absolutely fantastic. I had to have a root canal, crown put on, and wisdom teeth pulled this year and each procedure was accomplished with no pain or complications. Sometimes I hard time understanding him because of his accent, but I think that’s more my fault than his. Thanks, Dr. Chung!
I must start with the fact that I haven’t been to a dentist for years as it is a fear of mine. However, I recently had an infected tooth which Dr. Chung prescribed antibiotics for and a week later pulled. His staff was great and he pulled my tooth with no real pain at all. He has made me feel much better about visiting the dentist because of this experience. Dr. Chung is very kind and professional, I would recommend him to anyone!
I went to see this doctor on 20th of December, I found staff and doctor are very nice helpful and they provide every details which you need to know. The best thing about Dr Tim Chung is he only prescribed what actually required to do. He is nice and knowledge doctor, I am going to make him family dentist . Thanks Dr Tim Chung.
