Dr. Edward Cheng believes that optimal dental care results from good dentist – patient relationships, one which is centered around excellent communication. His mission is to provide excellent care to his patients, focusing on prevention and encouraging a lifetime of healthy smiles. He firmly believes in a conservative treatment philosophy that emphasizes patient comfort and long-term welfare. Dr. Cheng sees dentistry as a unique blend of education, research, medicine, art, and personal relationships. As such, he treats the whole person, not just teeth. He went on to earn his Doctorate Degrees in Dental Surgery from the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry. Dr. Cheng is a firm believer in life-long learning and knows that any professional must continue studying, learning, and growing. He is doing exactly that by actively participating in ongoing continuing education. He maintains memberships with the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), American Dental Association (ADA), Chicago Dental Society (CDS), and Illinois Dental Society (ISDS). While dentistry and service are Dr. Cheng’s passions, he enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, exploring far flung Chicago neighborhoods, cooking, and learning about different cultures and languages.
