Yes, we are continually growing and welcome new patients. Dr. Matthew Chan has over 11 years of combined experience in the field of general dentistry, periodontal and implant dentistry. Referrals from family and friends are always greatly appreciated.

There is no one-size-fits-all dental treatment. Some people need to visit the dentist once or twice a year; others may need more visits. You are a unique individual, with a unique smile and unique needs when it comes to keeping your smile healthy. We recommend at least 1-2 professional dental visits a year. Based on this visit, a customized treatment plan can be created for you.

In order to schedule an appointment with our dentist in Polonia Dental, all we need is your full name, contact information and insurance information, if applicable. Please bring a photo ID with your name and address to your first dental visit in our office.

Many whitening toothpastes will attempt to remove plaque and stains. This will ultimately provide a cleaner appearance to your teeth. However, if you want to whiten your teeth with several shades whiter, then a visit to the dentist is required. A dentist can provide either an in-office or take home bleaching system that will brighten your teeth.
