Services

Dental Implants

Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium root replacements that fuse with jawbone tissue. Our specialists use advanced imaging and surgical techniques to ensure optimal placement for single or multiple tooth replacements. Patients benefit from restored chewing function, improved speech clarity, and natural-looking aesthetics that preserve facial structure and prevent bone loss.

CEREC Crowns

CEREC technology enables creation of custom ceramic crowns during a single visit using digital impressions and computer-aided design. This eliminates traditional temporary crowns and multiple appointments while maintaining precise fit and natural appearance. The metal-free restorations resist staining and match existing teeth for seamless integration.

Prosthodontics

Specialized in restoring complex dental cases, our prosthodontists design comprehensive treatment plans for missing or damaged teeth. Services include crowns, bridges, dentures, and full-mouth reconstructions using biocompatible materials. We address functional impairments while creating aesthetically pleasing smiles through precise occlusion and natural tooth contours.

Dental Veneers

Custom porcelain veneers correct cosmetic imperfections like discoloration, chips, and gaps through thin laminates bonded to tooth surfaces. Our specialists use digital imaging to create natural-looking transformations while preserving maximum tooth structure. The durable ceramic material resists staining and mimics natural tooth translucency.

Dental Hygiene

Our registered dental hygienists provide thorough cleanings and periodontal maintenance using advanced scaling techniques. Services include tartar removal, gum disease prevention, and personalized oral hygiene instruction. Regular prophylaxis appointments help maintain dental health while early detection of potential issues ensures timely interventions.

As a recent transplant to the area, I have been under Dr. Hong's care for the last 18 months. I've had many complicated dental issues to deal with including wearing of the teeth, sensitivity, misalignment, and broken/cracked teeth. Dr. Hong is talented, knowledgeable on the latest treatment developments, and has awareness of subtleties for the patient that are so important regarding comfort, look, and livability of a wholistic solution.

He possesses an artist-like ability in restoration, leaving a natural, great-looking result. Additionally, Dolores (Sunnyvale front office staff), and the hygienists and assistants are excellent in their respective roles and exercise a level of time and care in the exercise of their duties that is second to none (and I've lived in 8 different locations across the US). I highly recommend this practice, and especially for those with complex dental issues regarding restoration.

If you are looking for a fine dentist, look for Dr. Sung Je Hong. He is an expert in all phases of general dentisty, prosthodontics and implantology. The result is top of the line. I've been going to his clinic for several years, and I always saw on his face a total dedication to his job, making sure all of his patients are happy and satisfied. His hygienist, Joan, also performs her job very well with gentleness on her hands. Dr. Hong delivers his work with great quality and assurance. Valery Serebrennikov

A family referral led me to California Dental Specialty Group. I was greeted well by the front desk and all the paper work was quick. I was seen as scheduled. I was treated by Dr. Kavitha Ravi, who was extremely knowledgeable and professional. She patiently explained the procedure and was courteous. She spent time and was gentle. Her assistant, Britney did a great job taking my full mouth x-rays. I definitely recommend Dr. Ravi and her team. Very neat office and best dental care!
