As soon as you walk through our doors, you will be welcomed by our warm and courteous staff. We will go over your patient forms to ensure we have all the information we need from you.

All the teeth whitening procedures that we offer here at our dental practice in Chino Hills are safe and approved by the American Dental Association. They contain no harmful chemicals and don’t cause any teeth degradation or make it any easier to stain your teeth. However, if you’re thinking about over-the-counter teeth bleaching products, we highly recommend that you speak with a dentist before purchasing any to ensure that you’ll get the results that you want.

At Chino Hills Dentistry, we only recommend surgery for aggressive gum diseases that have already caused deep periodontal pockets. Most of the time, though, Dr. Randy Agnew is still able to prevent gum disease from getting worse through other dental techniques, including laser dentistry. We can set you up with a consultation to determine how we can best treat your gum disease. Rest assured that we will strive to avoid, or at least minimize, your need for surgery.

With continuing post-graduate training and research in the art of cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Randy Agnew is able to help people achieve the perfect smile they have always dreamed of. Whether the patient wants to have whiter teeth, straighter teeth, or even a full set of natural looking teeth, our Chino Hills dentist can help. We offer a wide range of cosmetic dentistry procedures that can address any of our patients’ needs without having to refer them to outside specialists.

If you are looking for a more natural and comfortable solution for missing teeth, then dental implants may be the dental solution you are looking for. Dental implants are attached using artificial roots that are anchored securely to your jawbone and topped with prosthetic teeth. They are known to look and work like natural teeth and can last up to 30 years. If a patient is healthy enough to have bridge work or standard extractions, they are most likely eligible to receive dental implants. Before, patients who suffered from low bone density or gum diseases were immediately disqualified from getting dental implants. However, thanks to advanced dental technology, we can now treat these problems easily and proceed with the dental implant. If you wish to be 100% sure, schedule a consultation with Dr. Randy Agnew and learn about how to best proceed with your dental implant procedure.

Chino Hills Dentistry is dedicated to providing a friendly and calming environment to all our patients. If you have severe fear or anxiety, we recommend sleep dentistry or our sedation options.

For your first appointment, we will review your medical history, particularly in relation to your overall dental health. Some medical conditions can be directly linked to your dental health, believe it or not. We may take X-rays of your mouth. We might also check for signs of gum disease, tooth decay, root decay, and any other major dental issues. Finally, we perform a thorough cleaning to remove any deposits or stains on your teeth. Our Chino Hills dentist may offer some suggestions or counseling with regards to your individual health care and form a treatment plan. For example, he might discuss lifestyle factors, such as diet, that can negatively affect your dental health.

Often enough, people only visit the dentist when there notice a serious problem, a toothache, for example. However, at Chino Hills Dentistry, we want to stress that having and maintaining good oral health also means preventative treatments as well. You might not realize that there is a dental issue because symptoms might not always be apparent. Dr. Agnew can locate any potential problems, such as cavities, tooth decay, and gum problems, and get started on a treatment plan to make sure that the problem does not get worse, saving you time and money on more costly treatments.
