Eric
Kai Cheung, DDS
Eric was
born in Hong Kong. Feel free to call him “Eric.” If
you insist, the “e” in Cheung is silent. His family
immigrated to the US in 1995. He went to 8th grade and high school
in San Diego. In 2003, he finished his undergraduate degree with
honors from University of California San Diego in Bioengineering
and a minor in Psychology.
In
2008, Eric received his Doctoral degree from University of California
Los Angeles (UCLA). He was working in Bakersfield and Delano for
five years and a year in Los Angeles before choosing Atwater to
have his practice. During his career, he received the Fellowship
from Academy of General Dentistry.

Committing
to the profession and community are two of Eric's focuses.
Eric
has been a peer reviewer for the Journal of Academy of General
Dentistry for the last couple years. The journal published scientific
articles from scientists/dentists all over the world. Topics range
from different techniques, dental materials, large scale population
studies, case studies among different divisions in dentistry such
as implant, root canal, oral health and as well as the overall
body health and much more. Before a scientific paper is published,
Dr. Eric reviews the article and gives his opinions and critiques
on that dental topic. Once he approves the article, the journal
publishes the article for other dentists to read.
Eric
also participates in clinical research. Recently, the research
group provided Eric a cavity detection aid called Spectra to compare
with just the mirror and explorer. Spectra has been out in the
market since 2012. The explorer can tells how deep the cavity
is, but Spectra shines a fluorescent light similar to Doppler
Radar to detect how much bacteria is growing. An orange, yellow
or red reading indicates high bacteria activities. The idea is
to detect cavity early, so we educate our patients and keep the
cavity small, so we do not have to open the tooth. We will update
after the research study is complete.
Being
a Fellow means life long learning. You may ask, has the doctor
learn enough? There will always be newer, longer lasting and more
natural looking products and simpler and more predictable ways
to do things less invasively to save time and lower fee. We always
have to balance technology and traditional method which with a
good tracking record. Eric attends different continued education
courses year round for you.
Atwater
Family Dental is a proud member of the Atwater Chamber of Commerce.
I am glad to work with many good businesses in the central valley.
Weekly emails keep me up to date different local events . It is
not uncommon to see some of you there. Please join the Chamber
and support Atwater. Eric also sponsors several local youth activities
including sports teams, music department, high school ROP event,
Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, and other volunteer events
such as CDA Cares. With an emphasis on higher education, Eric
wants to inspire young people to choose the right career path
and contribute back to the community. Besides a healthy mouth,
I want your family to grow and be successful.
Even
though Atwater is in our name, we provide service to people including
Merced, Livingston, Los Banos, Turlock, Chowchilla, Madera, Fresno,
Modesto, Lodi, Stockton, Gustine, Hilmar, and even as far as the
Bay Area.
Eric
was married to his wife in 2009. They have a daughter who is three
years old. They live in Atwater and are looking into buying a
house in Atwater in early 2016. Eric enjoys nature and loves to
travel. The landscape in Yosemite National Park is one of his
favorite places. He also enjoys the glacier and wildlife in Alaska
and the clear water and warm sands in Hawaii.
