-Dr. CHO is absolutely amazing. For the fourth time on separate really tough tooth implant type problems he has performed a fantastic job over more than 5 years. Recently he did both an extraction and an installation implant post with what I call "no pain" and "lots of Gain!" Even those awful front upper front tooth lidocaine shots were almost painless. Did the whole job quickly, professionally, and with a smile. I am over 80 and have been to dentists over 72 years - and they all hurt - Dr. CHO DOES NOT HURT ME!!! SO IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A REAL PROFESSIONAL TO KEEP YOUR "SMILE" THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS GO HERE DEAR FOLKS, GO HERE AND GET THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST CARE!!! Steven W. KNIGHT. M.A. read more

I guess my journey started 12 years ago when I meet the love of my life Ana. We met on Eharmony and we clicked right away. I guess you can call me Shriek and Ana is definitely the princess. I'm a very lucky man. Ana was a dental assistant and she was always on me about my teeth. I would brush my teeth twice a day but I didn't floss regularly. I had a bad experience as a child with a dentist. My motto, "If my teeth don't hurt, I'm okay." My teeth never really hurt until I went to the dentist to see if there were any problems. Ana would lay me down on her lap and floss my teeth for me. Wow...now that's love. Ana still loved me and kissed me all the time but I always felt ashamed of my teeth. Most of my teeth were in pretty good shape. I don't smoke and I don't do drugs so I didn't have major issues. Nevertheless, I hated taking pictures and smiling. I'm not the smiling type. Ana took me to Dr Cho's office and as soon as I met the Dr I felt at ease. Dr Cho made me feel comfortable and just by looking at the guy I knew he was the best. I didn't have the money for implants at the time so Dr Cho added some bone to that loose canine tooth and we took it one day at a time. I had perodontal disease. Dr Cho conducted a flap surgery where he separated my gums from my teeth and did a deep cleaning. I did this procedure twice. I then followed up with routine cleaning every six months. Dr Cho did an excellent job on each surgery. I always left his office in a minimum amount of pain. That was definitely a relief not to be walking around in pain. The years went by and I was a few years away from retirement. After retirement I would be able to afford the implants. The tooth Dr Cho added bone to lasted approximately 6 years. It was becoming loose and Dr Cho advised me I would most likely lose the tooth. Dr Cho completed the implant surgery and I finally have the teeth I can be proud of. I was so frustrated with my teeth that I told a nurse I was going to go to that other place and have all my teeth pulled out in one day. The nurse advised me not to do that. The nurse, from another dental office, told me to go to Dr Cho's. This guy is well known. I'm glad I took the nurse's advise. Not to mention my lady told me to go to Dr Cho's years ago. The princess/boss is always right. I would like to thank Dr Cho's staff, especially Rena. Rena was the bomb diggity. Rena answered all my questions and kept me at ease reference the financial portion of this venture. Dr Cho is definitely heaven sent. This Dr cares for his patients and gives the best treatment imaginable. When you go to Dr. Cho's office you know from the time you walk in your in good hands. Thank you Dr Cho for making my dream of having nice teeth and a great smile a reality (Not that I'm going to be smiling my face off. I'm not the smiley type. Remember). Your the best Dr Cho. If you want your teeth done right the first time and you want a dentist that will be patient and honest with you go to Dr William Cho. Dr. Cho will definitely take good care of you. Now go out there and get your smile on. read more

See all

Dr. Cho is very well educated on how to deal with dental implants. He tried to save a poorly done implant by a previous dentist, but I ended up needing it removed altogether, although that was not a fun experience, I feel much better knowing an experience periodontist helped me. If I decide to get a new one or if I ever need one in the future, it will be with Dr. Cho! read more

Dr. Cho is a superb clinician. If I could give more stars, I would. Great bedside manner, highly skilled, always kept me informed every step of the way. Office staff was excellent, welcoming and efficient. I highly recommend Dr. Cho, without hesitation !! read more

I absolutely think that William J. Cho is THE best dental surgeon! I had a very bad experience years ago (not locally) and thought it would be repeated. Wow! Was I wrong to be nervous. This man has the best "chairside" manner! I told him one time I have a hearing issue. I never had to repeat it again. Even with his mask on I understood him because he spoke slowly and clearly. He explains everything. I'm so happy I chose him. I had one tooth extraction and two implants and NO pain! That's pretty wonderful! Thanks so much Dr. Cho! read more

Professional office with capable staff and well located. Their demeanor is very good and accommodating to clients.

Dr. Cho was highly recommended to me by a friend whose husband has done implants here as well. All together I had 4 teeth removed by excellent and simply the best Dr. Cho and 5 implants done. When you meet Dr. Cho you'll find personable professionalism, attentive care, and honesty. You'll be in good hands! read more

This guy and his office, Oral dentist assistance are the best! They don't come any better! I am very impressed with their work and their ethics. read more

Doctor Cho has been taking care of our aging teeth for years. He and his great staff are exceptionally competent, caring and responsive. He deserves credit for our keeping all of our teeth in our mouths for these many years. 4 days ago, I bit into an already pitted olive. LO and BEHOLD! The cannery forgot to remove this pit. My front tooth chomped down hard and broke. Adios, perfect smile. Go back 3 spaces and return to being 6 with a gap toothed smile. Cute at 5 but nearly so much as a mature beauty. A quick phone call to Doctor Cho produced his usual, "Come on in right away! Let's take a look!" A couple of X-Rays made sure that we had no really serious problems, and he had the complete game plan in hand. He was omniscient, calm, caring and very reassuring. My blood pressure stayed steady despite my earlier fears. Clinically, Dr. Cho is a true total professional. However, important for people like me who fear dentists, he is very calm, reassuring, and able to make me feel that he is going to do wonders in solving whatever problem I have. My husband and I have enjoyed being his patients for years. He is head and shoulders above the many different periodontists that we tried before discovering him. We strongly recommend him and his competent caring staff. Dr. Cho has always responded to our dental emergencies. We have been consistently thrilled with his competent care and knowledge of the latest techniques. is charges are very reasonable. His care is superb. He is the best of the best! You will be thrilled with his care. Joyce Bitar read more

Dr Cho is as good as it gets. Zero pain, works quickly but gracefully, great bedside manner, answered all my questions thoroughly, fair prices, awesome staff and office. I couldn't have been happier with the results! I am a dental hygienist and get such great feedback from all my patients who have seen him, that he was my go-to when I needed a specialized procedure. Now I know what all the fuss is about, thank you Dr Cho! read more

Always listen to your wife, she told me that Dr. Cho is practicing painless dentistry. It's true, after I went for a graft and implant in one shot for less then an hour time and with no pain at all. I have to admit, that I got a major case of dental phobia, coming from my experience with a Free dental care back in the old country (granted we are talking 60 st & 70 st of the last century). The filling were done without anesthesia (with a very slow moving drill machine), same for root canals (no anesthesia), only extractions were performed with the injection of Novocaine (it's why I lost a lot of teeth). One more thing - for a crown - your are not getting temporary. So, as you can see, I was very scared of a titanium implant being screwed into your jaw, but Dr. Cho and his crew made it painless, and after 4 months I'm ready for real crown. Dr. Cho is highly recommended periodontist, extremely knowledgeable and a great technician and what is the most important in any doctor or dentist - he got a great personality. read more

Dr.Cho and staff are beyond amazing! Getting any dental work is scary. I went in nervous but the moment I walked in I was greeted by the attentive staff and knew I was in good hands!

My family dentist discovered that I had a bone issue that I would need a bone grafting surgery. They initially scheduled me with their partner but a month before my surgery, I was told that the partner will no longer be their partner and I needed to look for a new one. I got on yelp and found Dr. Cho. I couldn't be happier with my choice. He is phenomenal!!!! When I had my consultation appointment with him, he explained why I would need the surgery, how he would do, how long it would take and how much it would cost, etc. He is extremely patient , excellent and very gentle at what he does. On my surgery day, he was making sure that I would have the least pain experience as much as possible. The whole surgery took less than one hour, and it was really a pain LESS experience. He also told me how to take care the teeth after the surgery and made sure everything was going well with the recovery! Couldn't thank him enough! And his staff in the office also! read more

Yesterday, 09/29/22, I had a crown falling off all on its own. It was a crown on a pole, and it was my front tooth too. I immediately called my dentist. Since it was after 4pm, their office was already closed. I left them a message (not sure how they understood me - I realized how difficult it is to speak without a front tooth!) My dentist's office texted me right away asking me to take pictures of the crown and the 'what's left' in my mouth. The pole snapped and half of it was left in my root and the other half of it was in my crown. Well, this pole was at least 23 years old! I was scheduled me for the following morning appointment right away. Right there we got arranged for me to see a Dr. William Cho for an implant. Luckily the office of Dr. Cho was very close. Dr. Cho's day was a short one, but they also extended their day to do my implant. His whole staff and Dr. Cho worked an extra hour after their working hours to do my implant. I was really impressed by Dr. Cho's office, work and professionalism! They extracted the root very nicely. The whole job took at most 30-40 min and it's been 10 hours since the procedure and I still do not feel any pain! By 1:30 PM of the same day I already had my implant installed. By 3:30 PM my dentist installed a temporary crown in my mouth. When I got home I couldn't believe everything was done in one day, and the next day after the crown fell out! I was without my tooth for less than 24 hours! That is really impressive! Now I can feel comfortable to go back to work on Monday! I wanted to hug them ALL: Dr. Cho and my dentist, and their amazing team! My words cannot describe the gratitude I feel for both offices and doctors! Thank you so much, Dr. Cho and your incredible team! read more

Dr. Cho is an amazing periodontist. Saw him for a gum graft almost 5 years ago, which has held up very well. I also just recently saw him to take a look at another possible gum issue, but turned out it wasn't gum-related. Dr. Cho has wonderful chairside manner; he's extremely knowledgeable, he does wonderful work, and he listens and takes his time to diagnose and explain procedures thoroughly. His office staff is also very friendly and professional. I've dealt with Molly several times and absolutely love her! My mom has also been seeing Dr. Cho for years for deep cleanings and has nothing but positive things to say as well. Highly recommend. read more

I was referred to Dr. Cho by Dr. Steven Streelman. My experience with Dr. Cho has been excellent! I had a root canal that had caused an infection in my lower jaw and the tooth had to be removed. Dr. Cho walked me through the entire procedure, including the implant process following the extraction of the bad tooth. Dr. Cho's entire staff are extremely friendly, helpful, and caring. I highly recommend Dr. Cho and his team! read more

Can't recommend Dr. Cho enough. I went to Dr. Cho for an implant on my front tooth. The office staff were super accommodating, and got me right in for a consultation - and then put me in the first time slot that opened up. Dr. Cho really knows what he's doing. My dentist told me that he is amazing, and I fully agree. The implant procedure took just over an hour, and I literally felt zero pain. They gave me some headphones and I just listened to music and pretended that I wasn't really there. After the procedure, I only needed to take one dose of ibuprofen. I was so amazed that I didn't have any bruising, swelling, or pain. Apparently Dr. Cho has the hands of an angel. Seriously an amazing experience. read more

My family dentist referred me to Dr Cho after he noticed that my rather aggressive brushing techniques had led to some gum recession over my right canine tooth. During my consultation, Dr Cho recommended gum graft surgery. I was not looking forward to this, but it went very smoothly. The office is clean, and the staff is friendly, efficient, and capable. Dr Cho himself is excellent. He performed the surgery in less than an hour, and took the time to explain my post-op instructions and answer all my questions. read more

I went to see Dr Cho for a skin graft, and I have to say that I have been very impressed with his office staff checking/following up, his patient care and bedside manor, and also his skill as a surgeon. I would recommend hid office to my friends and family. The only downside was that my insurance didn't cover as much as they had predicted. Which was frustrating, but not Dr. Cho's fault. He completely understood when I then decided to wait to have my next surgery. read more

Who is excited to go see a dentist when your general dentist can't help you ? Anything related to oral surgery makes me concerned and nervous. I experienced this in 2017 when I visited Doctor Cho but my anxiety was quickly put to rest upon sitting down in the chair. Dr Cho is amazing at explaining everything up front and as he goes along. I had a tooth pulled for extraction and it was done in no time. My implant was perfect and I went along enjoying my new implant. In 2021 I had another root canal get infected. My general dentist told me it should be pulled and tried to refer me to someone and I said "no way" my first call was to DR Cho. I can honestly say I was excited to go back to him. His experience , knowledge and ability to communicate should make him your first and only choice. read more

Came here on a recommendation from family. Dr. Cho did implants on 3 of my close family members... all of which praised Dr. Cho's gentle hands. I came for regular teeth cleaning. Everyone is so pleasant. My gums have never been healthier! I can't wait to show off my smile! :D :D :D read more
