A note from Dr. Huang
I could talk all day about mucogingival grafting or ridge augmentation of the atrophic maxilla — but what I really want you to know is that I’m here to help you have healthy gums.
If there’s one thing that my time as a hygienist showed me, it’s that gum care and tooth care are equally important. So, now it’s my mission to share that message, both as a care provider restoring gum health for my patients and as a dental lecturer guiding current and future dentists.

trust Dr. Huang to educate current and future dentists on gum care.
She focuses on safe, minimally-invasive care.
You can see it in her choice to specifically refine her skills with the minimally-invasive tunneling technique for treating gum recession.
That kind of health-first care is what you expect from a holistic practice like VCCID, and Dr. Huang is committed to upholding that standard.
What kinds of treatments does Dr. Huang provide?
Periodontitis (Gum Disease) Management
Proper care can prevent the need for surgery or help your gums get back to a healthy state after professional treatment.
Gum Grafting
If you’ve noticed that your gum line is receding or thinning out, gum grafting restores volume and protection to your tooth roots.
Bone Grafting
Having a missing tooth or severe gum disease can cause jaw bones to lose mass. Bone grafting helps to reverse that damage.
Dental Implants
Designed to last for decades, they restore individual missing teeth or bring extra stability to dental prosthetics like bridges and dentures.
Deep Cleaning
Deep cleaning clears away stuck on plaque and pockets of bacteria that build up without regular dental checkups.
Pre-procedure Gum Care
Having healthy gums is a requirement for many other procedures like dental implants, veneers, and orthodontic treatment.
Tooth Extractions
When your smile needs room to grow, or you need to prepare your mouth for dentures, extractions safely clear the way.
Committed to your care. Conscious about your comfort.
