About
David Cheng earned his DDS degree in 1987 from University of Western Ontario. David has a long-standing passion for dentistry that has grown over the last 30 years. His nearly 35 years of clinical experience combined with an extensive CE education has given him an invaluable insight in looking at the overall wellness of the oral health of his patients. He focuses not only on how to put the teeth together, but more importantly, how to do so while reducing the risk to the patient, as well as the prosthesis.
David has been serving as a mentor at the Kois Center in Seattle, Washington for the last 10 years. He also created his own non-corporate sponsored website to educate the public on various dental topics based on the current literature which can be found at https://drchengs.com/. In addition to his written work, you can also find dental educational videos he has published in his Youtube channel: drchengs. David can be reached at [email protected].
