Trusted San Jose Dentists: Dr. Victoria Vuong, DDS & Dr. Henry Chang, DDS

The easiest way to find a good dentist in San Jose, CA is to use a search engine like Google or Bing and use high-ranking key phrases like:
 
“Dentist near me in San Jose, CA”
“Good Dentists near me San Jose, CA”
“Best dentist near me San Jose, CA”
 
While this is just the start, it’s a good start. You will still need to do some research into each individual dental office you come across in your search. You will need to review their availability and cost for services if they accept insurance or have payment plans available. Anything that would be important to you and your family that you would want a dental office to have would be important to search for. If you cannot see any of the answers to your questions on the website, contact the clinic.
 
While search engines will yield many results, recommendations from family and friends may also help. While all of this information is fantastic and may work for you, you also landed on our landing page from a search result for a reason. Selective Dental has an experienced team of dental specialists, Dr. Victoria Vuong, DDS & Dr. Henry Chang, DDS to help with your dental care needs for you and your family. Our clinic accepts many forms of payment, including health insurance. We can assist you with your insurance claim and help you navigate what can be a confusing claims process to help you maximize your reimbursement after your dental service.

While we completely understand that not only can life get in the way, finding the finances to accommodate dental care services can be difficult. However, if you haven’t been to the dentist in quite a while, or if you are looking for reassurance about not visiting a dentist ever, a few things you should expect include:
 
• Bleeding Gums
You may have begun to notice already that each time you brush your teeth or floss you are seeing blood occurring around the gum area. This is due to the gums often being inflamed due to build-up or other issues like gingivitis. During your appointment, Dr. Victoria Vuong, DDS & Dr. Henry Chang, DDS, or the team will clean your teeth and floss, which will help clean out anything in between the teeth that are stuck and in the gums that can’t be done by just brushing your teeth or flossing at home.
 
• Cavities
You may have many cavities that will need to be filled or cavities that have developed into worse conditions to the point where they need a root canal or other dental services.
 
• Extended Cleaning Appointment
Over time, even after a year, there can be an extensive amount of plaque build-up occurring on the surfaces of the teeth. Due to this, Dr. Victoria Vuong, DDS & Dr. Henry Chang, DDS, or the team will need to complete an extended cleaning for each individual tooth.
 
• Dental X-Rays
Dental X-rays are crucial to be completed once every few years, and this is to help dentists to diagnose any oral health issues that may need the dental clinic’s special attention. Dental X-rays will also reveal any underlying issues that are not seen to the eye and will be brought to light thanks to dental x-ray.
 
• Dental Oral Exam
After the cleaning has been completed by one of our hygienists, Dr. Victoria Vuong, DDS & Dr. Henry Chang, DDS will carefully complete a comprehensive oral exam to inspect for cavities, signs of oral cancer, and periodontal disease.

If you are dealing with tooth decay, it may come in the form of a few of the following symptoms, including:
 
• Tooth pain or toothache
• Tooth sensitivity
• Bad breath
• An unpleasant taste occurs in your mouth
• Noticeable brown, grey, or even black spots appear on the teeth

If a cavity is left untreated, it can lead to a serious infection within the tooth, which is known as a tooth abscess. Untreated tooth decay can begin to destroy the inside of the tooth, which is known as the pulp. If this occurs, extensive dental care will be necessary to help treat it, or removal may even be possible. For more information, call us or schedule an appointment online! We serve patients from all over Santa Clara County CA: San Jose, Milpitas, Santa Clara, Campbell, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Saratoga, Los Gatos, and beyond!
