Family & Preventive General Dentistry in Champaign-Urbana
Keeping Champaign-Urbana Smiling With Personalized, High-Quality General Dentistry
Our General Dentistry Services
Routine Dental Checkup
Long term oral health begins with prevention. Our comprehensive checkups include a thorough clinical exam, a gentle yet detailed cleaning, and personalized recommendations tailored to your smile. With modern diagnostics and a proactive approach, we help you maintain optimal health, year after year, with clarity and confidence.
Tooth Colored Fillings
Tooth decay is one of the most common dental problems we see, and one of the most treatable. Restore your tooth without anyone noticing with our natural-looking tooth colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your smile while strengthening areas damaged by decay. Durable, conservative, and completed in a single visit so you can get back to smiling with confidence. The same composite, shaped by hand, is what we use for dental bonding on chipped or uneven front teeth.
CEREC Crowns
Enjoy same-day delivery of a custom ceramic crown created with our state-of-the-art CEREC system. Your restoration is digitally designed, sculpted, and placed in a single visit, giving you a precise, long-lasting result without the wait. It is restorative dentistry elevated to a higher standard of comfort and convenience.
Biomimetic Dentistry
Biomimetic dentistry is a tooth-conserving approach that restores teeth to their natural strength, function, and appearance — minimizing the need for crowns, root canals, and invasive procedures. Dr. Kelvin completed a rigorous 6-month mastership through the Alleman Center of Biomimetic Dentistry to bring this advanced, preservation-first approach to our patients.
Sedation Dentistry
If dental treatment makes you anxious, you are not alone and we are here to help. We offer both oral sedatives and IV sedation in partnership with a trusted local mobile anesthesia team. Your safety and comfort are always our top priorities. We understand that dental anxiety is a very real concern for many patients, and our goal is to create a calm, reassuring environment where you can receive the care you deserve with complete confidence.
Pediatric Dentistry
Kids deserve gentle, positive dental experiences. Our pediatric services focus on prevention, education, and creating a welcoming environment where children of all ages can build lifelong confidence in their oral health.
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea treatment with custom oral appliances
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) causes you to stop breathing — sometimes dozens of times an hour — while you sleep. Untreated, it's linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and chronic fatigue. The signs most patients notice first: loud snoring, gasping awake, morning headaches, brain fog, or a partner who says you stop breathing at night.
CPAP is the gold standard for severe sleep apnea, and we'll always tell you when that's the right answer. But for mild-to-moderate OSA — or for patients who genuinely can't tolerate a CPAP mask — a custom dental oral appliance is a quieter, more discreet alternative.
The appliance looks similar to a thin night guard. It's worn only at night and gently repositions your lower jaw forward to keep your airway open. It's easy to clean, easy to travel with, and most patients adapt within a few weeks.
Sleep apnea is a medical diagnosis, not a dental one — so treatment starts with your physician and a sleep study (usually a home test these days). Once you have a diagnosis and a referral for oral appliance therapy, Dr. Kelvin Jung designs and fits the device, then partners with you on follow-up adjustments to make sure it's actually working.
Bridges
When a tooth is missing, the impact goes far beyond appearance. Your bite changes, neighboring teeth shift, and everyday things like chewing or smiling can feel noticeably different. A dental bridge restores that balance by replacing the missing tooth with a beautifully crafted, natural looking restoration that is securely supported by crowns or implants.
At Q Dental, each bridge is designed with intention. We use advanced digital imaging and high-strength ceramics to create a restoration that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth while delivering long-term strength and comfort. Because we control the entire design and fabrication process in our office, we ensure a precise fit and a result that feels like it has always been part of your smile.
It is more than filling a space—it is bringing back the harmony, function, and confidence that come with a complete smile.
Gum Disease
Your gums play a critical role in the health and longevity of your smile. When signs of gum disease appear, such as bleeding or inflammation, our personalized periodontal care focuses on halting infection and restoring the supporting structures that keep your teeth stable.
Using technologies like guided biofilm therapy and dental laser treatment, we are able to remove harmful bacteria with remarkable accuracy and comfort. This modern, minimally invasive approach helps promote healthier gums, improved healing, and better long term outcomes.
Dentures & Partials
Our modern dentures are crafted for comfort, stability, and a natural appearance. Whether you are missing several teeth or a full arch, we design customized solutions that restore both your smile and your confidence with a fit that feels truly your own.
To streamline your experience, we incorporate advanced technologies such as digital scanning and 3D printing. These tools allow us to reduce appointment times, improve accuracy, and deliver a more precise and efficient process from start to finish—so you can enjoy your new smile faster, with exceptional comfort and quality.
Root Canals
A root canal can often save a tooth that is deeply infected or severely damaged. Using advanced technology and a gentle, meticulous approach, we clean and disinfect the tooth, relieve pain, and preserve your natural structure. The goal is simple: long-lasting comfort and the confidence of keeping your own tooth.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth cannot be restored, we approach extraction with precision, intention, and your comfort as our top priority. Our gentle techniques promote smooth healing, and we guide you through the best long term replacement options—whether that is an implant, bridge, or another tailored solution—to ensure your smile remains healthy, functional, and complete.
Dental Emergency
If you are experiencing significant pain, swelling, or a dental injury, reach out to us right away. We reserve time each day for same day emergency appointments so you can be cared for quickly and compassionately. Our team works efficiently to relieve discomfort and restore your peace of mind as soon as possible.

A Reputation Built on Trust
We took over the practices of Dr. Sensenbrenner and Dr. Hausserman because we believed in continuing what they built — decades of honest, unhurried dentistry for Champaign-Urbana families. That's still the standard we hold ourselves to. We don't push treatment you don't need. We don't rush appointments. We don't run dentistry like an assembly line. From routine cleanings to full-mouth work, your whole family's care lives in one place — handled by a team that lives and works in Champaign too.
General Dentistry FAQs
Yes. Dental anxiety is real and we don't take it lightly. For most patients, the biggest fear-reducer is simply being explained to throughout the appointment — knowing what's happening, what to expect, and feeling like you have control. For patients who need more, we offer oral sedation and IV sedation in partnership with a trusted local mobile anesthesia team. Tell us at booking or at your visit if anxiety is a concern — we'll plan accordingly.
Usually no, if an amalgam filling is intact, sealed, and not causing problems, replacing it just because it's silver-colored isn't medically necessary — and we don't recommend it. We replace amalgams when they're cracked, leaking, decayed underneath, or breaking down the surrounding tooth. If you want to switch to tooth-colored composite for cosmetic reasons, we'll have that conversation honestly — but that's a cosmetic choice, not a clinical requirement. The tradeoff is real: replacing a still-functional filling means losing more tooth structure, and the new filling can sometimes fail sooner than the old one. We'd rather watch a healthy filling than rush to replace one.
No, most crowns are placed without a root canal. A root canal is only needed when the nerve inside the tooth is infected, dying, or already dead — which usually shows up as pain, swelling, or specific findings on an X-ray. A tooth that needs a crown because it's cracked, worn, or has a large filling does NOT automatically need a root canal first. We test the nerve, review the tooth's history, and look at the imaging. If the nerve is healthy, we crown the tooth and move on. If it's not, we discuss the root canal as its own decision.
We almost exclusively place composite (tooth-colored) fillings. Composite bonds directly to your tooth, looks natural, and requires less removal of healthy tooth structure than the older silver fillings. For larger restorations where composite isn't strong enough, we discuss either a ceramic inlay/onlay or a same-day CEREC crown. We don't routinely place amalgam anymore. The materials we use are FDA-approved, BPA-free, and selected for durability and aesthetics.
A well-placed composite filling typically lasts 7–15 years, sometimes longer. Lifespan depends on size (smaller lasts longer), location (chewing surfaces wear faster), your bite, oral hygiene, and decay risk. We've seen fillings last 20+ years and others fail within a few years for reasons that have nothing to do with how they were placed. Our job is to place the smallest, best-bonded restoration possible and watch it over time at your checkups so we can intervene early if needed.
A well-made crown typically lasts 10–20 years, often longer. Modern materials like zirconia and lithium disilicate (used in our same-day CEREC crowns) are extremely strong. Lifespan depends on your bite, whether you grind, your hygiene, and the health of the underlying tooth. Crowns can fail at the margin (where crown meets tooth) due to decay, or the underlying tooth can fracture. We design crowns digitally for a precise fit, which extends lifespan. If you grind, we'll recommend a nightguard to protect your investment.
Yes, though most root canals are highly successful, with a 90–95% success rate over 10 years when done well. When they fail, it's usually one of three reasons: a missed canal during the original procedure, a new infection from a leaky filling or crown, or a hidden crack in the tooth. We use 3D CBCT imaging on complex cases to map every canal and reduce miss rates. If a root canal does fail, options include retreatment, surgery (apicoectomy), or extraction with implant placement. Each path has its place — we'll walk you through the right call for your tooth.
Mild sensitivity for a few days to a few weeks is normal — especially to cold or pressure. Causes include nerve inflammation from the procedure, a slightly high bite making the tooth hit harder than the others, or the nerve adjusting to the new restoration. If pain persists past 2–4 weeks or is getting worse, call us. A bite adjustment fixes most cases — a quick polish that takes about 2 minutes. If sensitivity is severe, sharp, or causing throbbing pain, the nerve may be more inflamed than expected, and we'll evaluate whether a root canal is needed.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **An Outstanding Dental Experience!** I recently moved back to the Champaign area and needed to find a new dentist. After reading the wonderful reviews for Q Dental, I had high expectations, but my experience was even better than I imagined! My hygienist, Huyen, was incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and attentive. She took the time to explain everything she was doing, including the state-of-the-art equipment and technology they use. And talk about comfort--a heated massage chair and a cozy blanket! They got me in right away, and I even received a surprisingly generous welcome gift as a first-time patient! The dentist was equally impressive—extremely thorough, professional, and patient in explaining everything. From start to finish, it was an exceptional experience. Q Dental has truly raised the bar for dental care! I highly recommend them!Posted on Google![]()

After a fine cleaning by Chelsea, Dr. Comer and his assistant Mandy took on my difficult crown replacement in a calm and professional manner, doing their best to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. The best part is that it was completed in about three hours. After having a three-appointment root canal, I was most grateful that this part of my tooth rebuilding process could be accomplished in one trip. Great work by real pros.Posted on Google![]()

I am not surprised at the level of patient care given by Dr. Jung and his staff. I am 87 years of age and they all afforded me the respect and care that should be accorded a person of my age. Dr. Jung has incorporated the most recent in dental technology and has provided training for his staff in its use. I've been seated in dental chairs most of my life due to the general chemistry of my teeth so I think that I can comment from experience when I give Q Dental gets my Five or Ten star review.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
