Dr. Richard Leong and his excellent staff are committed to superior and personalized service to handle all of your dental needs. Dr. Leong emphasizes comprehensive care in his practice. Therefore he can perform all of the dental specialties that any one patient would require. You as a patient will rarely have to be referred to other dentists to have all of your necessary treatment done. His watchwords are gentle and pain free care. We as a staff are committed to performing dental procedures in a comprehensive, safe, comfortable and friendly environment.
Many of Dr. Leongs patients come to him because they need this comprehensive care which includes reconstruction of their mouths with have been ravaged with time and dental disease for many years. He can restore the esthetics, function and bite of patients who have been missing their teeth with all the new advances in dentistry. Then after this comprehensive treatment has been accomplished, we as a staff are committed to helping our patients maintain their dental health for the rest of their lives by proper hygiene, nutrition and routine preventive follow-up care. Dr. Leong not only practices dentistry, he has been teaching dentistry for many years. He is co-chairman of the Implantology division of the Atlantic Coast Dental Research Clinic in West Palm Beach Florida. He has been teaching dental colleagues how to place and restore dental implants ever since 1982.
At the initial examination for a patient, Dr. Leong and his staff, take an extended period of time to gather very important information about your chief concerns, your past medical and dental history and present medical and dental status. During this initial examination a comprehensive visual examination of the oral hard and soft tissues will also include an oral cancer examination of not only the mouth but the glands, lymph nodes and thyroid found in the neck region. To insure that he has not missed any vital visual information, Dr. Leong will take intra oral diagnostic photographs of the teeth and surrounding soft tissue. The photographs will also be taken of the face to understand facial bone formation and skin and muscle formation which help to determine the function of speech and chewing as well as esthetic appearance of the face. A full set of radiographs of the teeth will be taken. Many times a panoramic radiograph of both jaws will be taken also to determine formation of the skull in relation to the jaws and to determine bone morphology. Panoramic radiographs are also taken to rule out any pathology not visualized in normal dental xrays.
During our initial interview we will also discuss the national privacy act so that you can be assured that your visits at our office will be privileged information and can not be seen by anyone else except those you choose. Our sterilization techniques will be discussed if you so desire. Another important aspect of this initial visit is to discuss any insurance coverage and how that coverage relates to your overall fee. Funding through dental credit can be discussed if a person needs such help.
Dr. Leong graduated from the University of Texas at Austin and earned his dental degree from the University of Tennessee School of Dentistry in Memphis in 1970. He has been performing dental implant surgeries since 1975. He is one of the few dentists in the area who places special emphasis on treatment of dental implants and temporomandibular joint dysfunctions. He is an active member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, and a Master in the American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics. Dr. Leong also teaches dental implantology at the Atlantic Coast Research Center, West Palm Beach, Florida. He lectures nationally and internationally on the subjects of dental implants, temporomandibular dysfunction treatments, neuromuslar occlusion, practice management, marking for the dental practice, and the use of video in the dental practice.

From first-hand experience, his reviews all seem fraudulent. Three other doctors advised extractions, but he gave me false hope that my teeth could be saved:( If you want to pay thousands of dollars to lose every one of the teeth, he works on with dental procedures that he claims insurance companies don't cover because they are too innovative, this guy's your man. A dentist like him makes the thought of dental appointments stressful

I have been in the dental field as office manager for the past four decades with my husband, who was a dentist. Then 2.5 months ago, my dear husband passed away. He was in the middle of refining and redoing my full-mouth reconstruction which involved implants and full upper and full lower bridges. I was scrambling to get this all completed especially since it was getting difficult to chew with what I had. Dr. Leong immediately spent almost a full day and a half fixing me including placing an implant that had failed and removing a couple faulty bridges. The assistants were fantastic as they created full upper and full lower temporaries right there. I am almost speechless at how professional and top notch is Dr. Leong and his staff. If you are on the fence about a dentist, THIS IS THE PLACE! And this is coming from someone who has been in the dental field for a long time and I am flying in from across the country in California just to see Dr. Leong! THANKS SO MUCH, DR. LEONG AND STAFF!!!!

I've been coming to Dr.. Leong for many years now. He's by far the best dentist I've ever been to and I highly recommend him to everyone. He not only informs you of your options, but he tells you what is your best option for your health, not his pocket. He's so good that I rarely need pain meds or numbing, when he's doing work on my teeth. He and his staff gets five stars every time!!

Professional office & staff, very clean with state of the art deodorizers and sanitizing equipment. I have been a patient of Dr Leong for years. Dr Leong offers a "one stop shop" by offering virtually all dental services where other dentists refer you to other specialists but not here. Dr Leong takes pride in his work and is truly a perfectionist. Jennifer Conrad is my hygienist and she too is gentle, professional and performs awesome work. I highly recommend Dr Leong to everyone.

Dr. Leong's office was pleasant and staff very kind and happy. Dr. Leong greeted me with a smile (behind his mask) lol. He was so kind. Explained everything to me thoroughly, answered all my questions, made me comfortable and took away all my doubts and fears. I highly recommend this office. Another plus is he does it all..a one stop so you don't have to go all over.
