Dr. Kwak chose to become a general dentist because of the opportunity it offers to positively impact patients' lives. "I find it so rewarding to help patients achieve and maintain optimal oral health and improve the appearance of their smile," said Dr. Kwak.  "An attractive smile boosts a patient's confidence.  Professional whitening is one of the quickest ways to improve a smile. I offer BriteOn! professional whitening, a new product that incorporates photodynamic technology to get teeth up to eight shades whiter in about 30 minutes with little to no discomfort. It's safe and effective and, at under $200, an affordable option for many patients."

Dr. Kwak offers other services to help patients maintain healthy and beautiful smiles. Included are dental exams, cleanings, periodontal (gum) therapy, fillings, aesthetic crowns, bridges, dentures, partials, teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, implant restorations, extractions and root canals.

She also provides advanced oral cancer screening exams with Identafi, the world's first and only multispectral imaging device for detecting oral cancer in the early stages. Oral cancer is one of the most curable forms of cancer if treated in the early stages.  Instances of the disease are on the rise, especially among sexually active people who have been exposed to the human papilloma virus (HPV16).

Coast Dental Cheatham Hill is offering other grand opening special offers to help patients get started on a regular program of good oral hygiene.  Download the offers on the office's website.  For patients without dental benefits, Coast Dental will waive the first-year membership fee in its exclusive discount dental plan, Smile Plus, when patients enroll in the office. The practice is also giving away an InteliSonic power toothbrush with built-in sanitizer to the first 100 patients who complete treatment valued at $100. Patient financing and payment plans are available to qualified applicants.  Contact the office for complete details.
