Dr. Sophon Heng D.D.S. caters to those people who don’t have dental insurance. His clinic provides comprehensive dental care exclusively to uninsured adults in a modern yet modest office in Edmonds. Dr. Heng grew up in Seattle and graduated in 2001 from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco.
“After watching the dental profession change,” said Dr. Heng, “I felt it had to be done a different way, ‘A Non-insured Way.’
“We use the latest technology and treatment, yet we keep our facility modest and control our business overhead, which allows us to offer lower fees to serve the people in the community.”
For example, Dr. Heng’s office charges $699 for a lifelike crown made with latest materials and technology. His crowns are guaranteed for five years against breakage or defects. Other dental offices could customarily run from $1,200 or more for a similar crown in this area. Also, other general procedures in Dr. Heng’s office run 30-60% less than those typically charged. For example, $699 for a root canal, $699 for immediate denture (each), cleaning starts at $50.
