Wang Hwa-Ying Claire, DMD

Too much of anything is never good. But they never told me that too much feverish brushing would give me gum recession! HARUMPH.
I came here from a referral from my orthodontist. Dr. Warren Lee, who I had finished my orthodontic treatment with in February 2012. He had noticed that I had gum line recession and recommended I see his colleague, Dr. Wang. Dr. Wang is patient, skilled, and thorough. Alongside her periodontal work, she advocates for preventive oral hygienic care. During our consultation, she did the red dye demo with me to demonstrate the benefits of proper brushing and flossing. That’s more than my actual dentists have ever done for me!
The dental office is shared with another general practice dentist. Sophia, the receptionist, is incredibly congenial. Before our consultation, she answered the many questions my dad and I had regarding cost and insurance coverage. The dental assistant Audrey was also amiable and cheerful.
The consultation cost a bit (no more than $ 50) because Dr. Wang needed digital x-​rays of my teeth. The gum surgery graft cost me $ 1400 per tooth, but my insurance covered a significant portion, fortunately. Also, there’s no charge for check-​ups – only for procedures.
My periodontal graft procedure in summer 2012 went very smoothly. I vaguely remember watching her slice open my palate to extract a piece of self-​regenerative tissue to place over my exposed tooth. Recovery took a few days, and I had to be very careful when flossing. But I’m happy to say that my tooth’s new gum is doing fantastic! :B
Just a note: she only practices on Wednesdays and Fridays. Plan accordingly!
So, learn from my mistakes, and always use a soft-​bristled electric toothbrush. Or pay the price… LITERALLY.

I have to say Dr. Wang is the most wonderful periodontist I ever met. I had full mouth gum surgery and it turns out wonderful, my gum disease is much better and I can feel my teeth getting stronger. The cost is higher than my expectation though, it cost me $ 2250 per quarter, so totally ~$ 9000 for the full mouth. I would say it worth it, but I don’t have experience with other periodontal, and don’t know if it is typical. I did the full mouth gum surgery and bone graft etc.
The receptionists are exceptional, warm and wonderful smiles, sending out emails to remind the appointment, no hassle to insurance claims…
