'Sometimes our teeth fail us. Whether you had abnormal facial development, irregular hygiene habits, or poor access to dental care, all of these factors affect what happens to our teeth. I am no exception.
Growing up, I was a goofy kid with a big sweet tooth and a severe overbite. I would eat candy and drink soda throughout the day and whenever I had the opportunity. A great orthodontist was able to correct my overbite. However, due to my love of candy and soda, multiple cavities were uncovered when my braces were removed. This led to multiple root canal procedures and crowns with various general dentists.
Through the wide spectrum of dental treatment I have experienced, it inspired me to become a periodontist. And just because I am a periodontist does not mean I have perfect teeth; I continue to smile because of the dentists and dental specialists who have helped me along the way.
Dr. Jeffrey Hsu received his D.D.S. degree from the USC School of Dentistry and followed that with a general practice residency at the UCLA School of Dentistry. After practicing general dentistry for a year, he decided to pursue his certificate in Periodontics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he was also afforded the opportunity to treat patients at the local Veterans Administration.
Dr. Hsu has developed skills in dental implant surgery, periodontal surgery, and site preservation procedures, including soft tissue and bone augmentation. Since the field of dentistry is continually changing, Dr. Hsu stays up to date by attending courses and participating in various study clubs.
Regarding patients, he believes in providing quality dental care and working with both restorative dentists and other specialists to optimize patient dental treatment. In addition, he prides himself on communication and making sure no patient gets left behind.
