When Dr. Ching came to Bakersfield he had a vision for his practice. He wanted to develop a practice where one can go and get all their dental care under one roof. He realized this goal in 2003. He currently has a staff of 6 dentists who are specialists in: *General Adult Dentistry *Pediatric Dentistry *Orthodontics *Periodontics *Endodontics *Oral Surgery. You no longer have to be referred and wait weeks for an appointment with a specialist. At Southwest Family Dentistry, if you are not seen by a specialist the same day you will certainly have an appointment within a few days. Dr. Ching and his staff strive to make your dental treatment experience as pleasant and comfortable as possible. They accomplish this by giving the patient the information, the time and quality of care that we all deserve. Southwest Family Dentistry moved to its new location in November 2003. Dr. Ching was unconditionally committed in constructing a building that is not only visually comforting and inviting but also has the most modern technology the dental field has to offer. There are generous patient areas and a arcade room for children with video games. Southwest Family Dentistry is diligent in making your wait as brief as possible, because we realize your time is valuable.
