LAS VEGAS PERIODONTAL CARE & DENTAL IMPLANT CENTER

Periodontics, literally meaning "around the tooth," is the study and treatment of the gums and teeth. Research shows that 85 percent of tooth loss is caused by periodontal disease. Dr. C. Leon Chen and his wife, Dr. Jennifer S. Cha, have dedicated years of experience to developing their skills as advanced periodontal surgeons. Their private practice, Las Vegas Periodontal Care and Dental Implant Center, gives the Las Vegas valley an opportunity to utilize two of the greatest minds in the dental field.

"Many people don't realize they have periodontal disease," explains Dr. Cha. "The symptoms may not be apparent, and the only way to be sure is through complete evaluations." Signs of periodontal disease are: bleeding gums during brushing, swollen or tender gums, gums that have pulled away from the teeth, persistent bad breath, loose or separating teeth, and a shift in the way the teeth fit together. The doctors of Las Vegas Periodontal Care and Dental Implant Center are specialists in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases and in the planning, placement and maintenance of dental implants.

Dr. Leon Chen is an inventor. Greatly contributing to the medical profession, he is a master at designing new, more efficient techniques and surgical instruments. With a background that includes a bachelor of science from the University of Michigan, a D.M.D. full scholarship from Harvard University School of Dental Medicine, and a masters in science from Northwestern University Dental School, he has acquired excellent training. A professor at the University of Nevada School of Medicine Dental Residency Program and the director/founder of the Beijing Implant Center, Dr. Chen carries many responsibilities. Additionally, Dr. Chen acts as a delegate officer for the Nevada Dental Association and a board of trustee for ACC-PAC. He regularly accepts invitations from around the world to lecture and demonstrate surgical procedures.

Dr. Jennifer Cha has a reputation for being the "best surgeon of the past 10 years at Northwestern University." Her precise and expert deftness is a rare talent. Dr. Cha began working as a general dentist in 1988, and after four years, she chose to return to school to study periodontal medicine. Upon returning to Las Vegas in 1993, she successfully established herself as a periodontal surgeon, continuing to utilize her particular genius. Dr. Cha is originally from Las Vegas and functions as the director of the Las Vegas Dental Hygiene Study Club. Both doctors met at Northwestern University, and they now have a family of seven to go along with their growing private practice.

With three locations to serve patients, Dr. Cha and Dr. Chen are available by appointment. The philosophy they share is simple — treat everyone like family. “Clients who walk through our doors are warmly received and given immediate attention," says Dr. Chen. His office, serving Green Valley and Henderson is located on 3663 East Sunset Road; it is an eclectic collage of modern design. He has built a montage of colorfully decorated walls and unusual accessories that mirror his vibrant, outgoing personality. Dr. Cha's two offices, one located at 5680 West Flaminto Road to serve Spring Valley and the Southwest corridor and the other located on North Tenaya Avenue to serve Summerlin residents, have an entirely different appearance. Warm, victorian accents and soft period textures reflect her elegant, friendly demeanor.

Dr. Cha and Dr. Chen care about every patient, striving to give each person their very best. Lecturing around the world, the doctors share their extensive knowledge with others in the field and continually pursue personal education. Proud of what they offer to the Las Vegas community, Las Vegas Periodontal Care and Dental Implant Center is a practice committed to excellence in periodontics.
