Comprehensive Dentistry for Your Family

Dr. Richard Leung and his associates enjoy treating patients of all ages, from toddlers to seniors, with the individualized dental care they need to maintain healthy smiles. In addition to a wealth of other services, we offer comprehensive general dentistry in Temple, TX, including:

  • Cleanings & Checkups. A thorough, professional teeth cleaning that will rid your mouth of harmful bacteria-causing plaque and tartar. We will give you a complete dental evaluation to identify areas of concern.
  • Cracked Tooth Repair. Exposed soft tissue below the tooth enamel make a cracked tooth especially sensitive to cold or hot temperatures, making it difficult to drink or chew.
  • Dental Crowns. Strong all-porcelain dental crowns protect and strengthen damaged, crooked, or discolored natural teeth.
  • Emergency Dentistry. We recognize that not all dental needs can wait until normal business hours, so we are available to take your call when you need us.
  • Gum Disease. Gum disease, or periodontal disease, affects as many as one-half of all American adults over age 30.
  • Periodontal Therapy. Gingivitis and periodontitis affect the teeth and gums when bacteria beneath the gum line go undetected and untreated by routine brushing and flossing.
  • Root Canals. Restore gum tissue and tooth roots to health by clearing the infection from inside your tooth. 
  • Same Day Dentistry. Because waiting for a scheduled appointment is not always an option. Accidents happen that may need prompt attention.
  • Tooth Extractions. We do all we can to save each tooth; when that is not possible, we extract with care and maximum comfort for our patients.
  • Wisdom Teeth Removal. Wisdom teeth often become impacted, or crowd the adjacent teeth, threatening their health as well.

Friendly Staff and Gentle Care

I had to go for a tooth extraction, which is never a fun or good day. The staff was so friendly and understanding. They made me feel comfortable the whole time. The dentist was super sweet and gentle. She was very detailed in explaining everything to me. I will definitely be going back for routine dental care.

Families are one of the greatest gifts given to us. Spending time with your family has become a gift that rarely happens nowadays.
