Building Brighter Smiles for Shoreline’s Kids At the office of Dr. Eric Yao, we believe a lifetime of oral health starts with a single positive experience.

From your child’s milestone first visit at age one to their biannual checkups, our team uses gentle techniques and clear communication in a colorful, child-friendly environment. We don’t just treat teeth; we help your child build the confidence and habits they need for a healthy, lifelong smile.
Understanding Gum Disease: Protecting Your Foundation Healthy gums are the foundation of a lasting smile. Periodontal disease is a quiet infection caused by plaque buildup that often progresses without pain. From early Gingivitis (red, swollen gums) to advanced Periodontitis (bone and tooth loss), Dr. Eric Yao and his team monitor your health at every checkup. By identifying the "pockets" between teeth and gums early, we can provide effective treatments—ranging from deep cleanings to advanced laser therapy—to save your natural teeth.
Renew Your Smile’s Strength and Beauty Restorative dentistry is about more than just fixing teeth; it’s about returning your quality of life. Whether you are dealing with a minor cavity or missing multiple teeth, Dr. Eric Yao offers a full suite of solutions tailored to your needs. Using durable fillings, custom-made crowns, and lifelike bridges, we repair damage and prevent further decay. For those looking for more permanent solutions, we provide dental implants and modern dentures that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

Root Canal Therapy: A Painless Solution to Save Your Tooth When the inner pulp of your tooth becomes infected due to a crack or deep cavity, endodontic therapy—commonly known as a root canal—is the most effective way to eliminate infection and prevent tooth loss. Despite common myths, modern root canal treatment is a relatively painless process that removes damaged tissue, cleans the interior, and seals the tooth to prevent future issues. Dr. Eric Yao’s goal is to protect your jawbone and overall health by saving your natural teeth whenever possible.
Emergency Dental Care When You Need It Most Dental emergencies can be stressful and painful, but you don’t have to face them alone. Dr. Eric Yao and his team are dedicated to providing prompt, gentle care for urgent issues like knocked-out teeth,

Whether it’s an emergency or a planned step in your dental health journey, we focus on providing a foundation for a healthier, pain-free smile.
