Michael Cheng, DDS, FAGD, FICOI

Dr. Mike has garnered the reputation of being an easy-going person who strives to work hard, do what is in the patient’s best interest based on his or her unique individual needs, and have a good time along the way.

Part of what Dr. Mike loves about dentistry is the vast array of knowledge in the field. Through that passion, he has devoted hundreds of hours of continuing education in areas including cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, endodontics, laser dentistry, and implant surgery and restorations.

He received his fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (called a FAGD), one of the highest levels of accreditation as a general dentist. To receive this honor, a dentist needs to complete at least 500 hours of advanced training and education as well as pass a rigorous written examination. He and Dr. Anjali worked at it for 7 years and were both accepted to receive the award in 2019. 

He went on to receive his fellowship in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (called a FICOI). To achieve this honor, a dentist needs to complete 100 hours of advanced education in implant dentistry and successfully complete a number of implant cases. He and Dr. Anjali were both awarded their fellowship in 2022.

Dr. Mike is a lifelong learner, continually expanding his expertise through ongoing education. Like Dr. Anjali, Dr. Mike is an active scholar of both the Kois Center and Spear Center for Dental Excellence, two of the most respected advanced training institutes in dentistry. Membership requires completing a rigorous curriculum of advanced coursework in lectures and hands-on training. He has completed numerous other continuing education courses including conservative treatment methods, digital dentistry, 3-D printing, and recreating full-mouth smiles conservatively. He is excited and dedicated to use this knowledge to provide his patients with the care they deserve.

Dr. Mike met Dr. Anjali in dental school, and they have been together ever since. They have been happily married since June 2015 and have 2 fun-loving kids, Zoey and Oliver. Aside from the wonderful world of dentistry, Dr. Mike enjoys spending time outdoors by hiking, skiing, cycling, playing tennis, and golfing.
