When Dr. Park was a young boy his mother became afflicted with a very debilitating case of arthritis, which created not only a hardship, but tremendous pain for her. Over the next 14 years she lost her ability to maintain any kind of oral hygiene, walk or even move. Unavailable dentistry caused her to suffer terribly from frequent toothaches and this was a memory Dr. Park would never forget. Eventually Dr. Park’s mother lost her life to this disease and this would inspire him to pursue a career in dentistry. Dr. Park is committed to advancing his education every year to stay current with the latest advances in dentistry.

As a committed dentist in the Oakdale and Modesto Communities and surrounding area’s of the Central Valley, Dr. Park is very passionate about providing quality care for you and your entire family. Dr. Park, being a full time dentist and his wife Jihyen who is a R.N. at Doctors Hospital lead very busy lives. They both enjoy traveling, hiking and camping as a family! Dr. Park also loves playing badminton with his boys!

Best dentist office I have been to. I have been terrified of the dentist for many years. I had a pleasant visit each time I came to this office. This is our family’s dentist. Denise is friendly and very helpful, the girls working with Dr Park are caring, and Dr Park is just amazing. I would recommend this dentist to others.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I schedule a check-up?

Annual check-ups and cleanings are the general standard for patients with good dental health. You should always be seen immediately if you have any type of swelling, pain or gum bleeding.

What should I do if I’m feeling pain in my tooth?

Ice packs and aspirin can often provide temporary relief until you can be seen, but remember that most dental problems will only become worse in time. Immediate treatment is essential!

What does it mean if my gums are bleeding?

Plaque buildup is the most common cause of bleeding gums, but it can also be an early sign of an advanced gum disease. We will gladly take a look and help you determine the ideal treatment.

What is the best way to whiten teeth?

If you want to try over the counter whiteners look for the ones that have ADA on the package. Professional teeth whitening systems are available at most dental offices and there are many to choose from. It's best to talk with your dentist and pick the best option for your individual needs.

What causes bad breath?

Many things cause bad breath, food, smoking, chew, coffee along with poor dental hygiene. These will lead to health problems and oral infections.

Do I really need to floss my teeth?

The short answer is yes. Plaque builds up and hardens into tartar which can widen the space between your teeth and gums, causing pockets. Over time the gum line pulls away and your teeth will loosen.

Do teeth need fluoride?

Fluoride will make teeth stronger and prevents tooth decay. Leading health and medical organizations agree such as the CDC, The American Academy of Pediatrics and American Dental Association.

What are Dental Implant Cost?

Please contact one of our offices to find out what your dental insurance will cover. Today there are many options of affordable dental implants.

Are electric tooth brushes better than manual tooth brushes?

Both are equally effective provided you brush your teeth properly for two minutes. An electric tooth brush will help if you have arthritis, can remove more plaque than a manual tooth brush and will decrease your risk of gum disease.
