Dr. Steve Cha

Dr. Cha is a dentist near Anna who is originally from South Korea but moved to the United States when he was 12. Before becoming a dentist, he was a mechanical drafting/designer and loved the technical side of building prototypes and seeing products fabricated. However, he disliked the lack of human interaction. Realizing he couldn’t continue to sit behind a computer all the time, he considered different career paths. After meeting with some friends who were in dental school, he decided he, too, should look into the field.

This led him to earn his dental degree from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry. Since then, he has completed many hours of continuing education and has certifications from the American Orthodontic Society and the Advanced Dental Implant Research & Education Center.

Dr. Cha has also completed several courses through SPEAR Education, specifically focused on restorative, cosmetic, and endodontic dentistry. He has also worked with pediatric dentists to refine his skills and treat children.

He is a current member of the American Dental Association and the Texas Dental Association.

When he’s not busy, Dr. Cha spends time with his wife of 20+ years, their one daughter, and two sons. They also have a Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix named Romeo. He enjoys photography, so you’ll often find him taking photos of landscapes and cityscapes during the golden hour or blue hour.

I had a great experience at Lake Forest Dental! The team was so kind and sweet throughout my visit. They took the time to carefully examine my teeth and explain everything clearly. I also really appreciate how flexible they are with scheduling — it made things so much easier. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for caring and professional dental care!

I Need a Checkup & Cleaning

Remember, your oral hygiene regimen is ultimately incomplete without routine dental checkups and cleanings. After all, these visits ensure our dentist near Anna can periodically screen for oral cancer, tooth decay, gum disease, damaged restorations, and other issues. Plus, our dental hygienists can thoroughly remove plaque and tartar, cleaning the hard-to-reach areas of your mouth in the process.

I Am in Pain & Need Help

Whether you’re experiencing a sharp, stabbing pain when you bite down, one of your dental crowns is loose, or you’ve knocked out a tooth, don’t wait – call our dental office near Anna. That way, a helpful member of our team can assess the urgency of the situation and schedule an appointment accordingly. They will also walk you through how to handle your dental injury in the meantime.

I Want to Enhance My Smile

What if your teeth and gums are healthy, but you aren’t happy with the smile you see in the mirror? If that’s the case, then you’ll be happy to hear that we offer several cosmetic dental services at our dental office near Anna, including veneers and Lumineers! During your consultation, Dr. Cha will learn all about your dental history, needs, and goals in order to help you decide which one is ideal for you.

I Have a Cavity or Broken Tooth

If you suspect that you have a cavity or broken tooth, don’t take the “wait and see” approach. Instead, schedule an appointment with our dentist in your area ASAP. The sooner you do, the sooner they can pinpoint the root of the problem, discuss your treatment options, and share their recommendations. Before you know it, your healthy, pain-free smile will be restored.

I am Worried About Bleeding Gums

Contrary to what you may have heard, it’s not normal for your gums to bleed when you brush or floss. In fact, this is a common warning sign of gum disease, which is an oral health problem that roughly 50% of American adults struggle with. That’s why it’s so important to schedule an appointment with us. The sooner you do, the sooner we can determine if an active infection is the culprit.

I am Missing 1 or More Teeth

Tooth loss is something roughly 178 million Americans are dealing with. If you’re one of them, then we have good news: we offer dental bridges, dentures, and dental implants at our dental office near Anna. So, whether you’re missing one tooth or an entire arch, we can restore your self-esteem, bite strength, and speaking patterns.

I Want to Straighten My Smile

For decades, pursuing a straighter smile meant committing to 2+ years of metal braces. That’s no longer the case! We’re proud to offer CandidPro™ Clear Aligners, which allow our patients in Anna to address overcrowding, overbites, and other common orthodontic problems without drawing unwanted attention to their smiles.

I Am Nervous/Scared of the Dentist

Do you have a fear of needles? Maybe you struggle with dental-related anxiety or a sensitive gag reflex. Whatever the case may be, don’t hesitate to talk to our dental team near Anna. From there, they can determine what needs to be done to give you the calm, comfortable, and positive experience you deserve at our office, like adding nitrous oxide sedation to your treatment plan.
