Dr Qing

Greetings! My name is Hai (Stephen) Qing, and it is my pleasure to welcome you to our practice.

My wife and I established our dental practice, Bucks Dental Health and Esthetics, in 2019 in New Britain, Pennsylvania. We later moved to Lansdale after purchasing our current office building at 1151 S. Broad Street, Lansdale, PA 19446.

Our practice specializes in Prosthodontics, Implant Dentistry, Removable Partial/complete dentures, Cosmetic Dentistry, Maxillofacial Prosthetics, Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD), and Dental Sleep Medicine.

It would be my great pleasure to meet you, get to know you personally, understand your concerns, and explore how we may help you achieve better oral health, comfort, function, and confidence.

A Little About Myself

My journey in dentistry began at the West China College of Stomatology, Sichuan University, one of China’s leading dental institutions.

I later came to Kansas City, Missouri, to pursue research in bone biology. It was there that I met my wife, Mei, who was studying chemistry at the same university. We eventually married and decided to build our lives together in the United States.

After completing my specialty residency training in Prosthodontics at the Eastman Institute for Oral Health, University of Rochester, we moved to the Philadelphia area.

Today, we live in the Wissahickon School District, where we are raising our three children. My wife works at Merck Pharmaceuticals.

My Philosophy: Dentistry Is Both Science and Art

I have always believed that prosthodontics, and dentistry as a whole, is a unique combination of science and art. Excellence requires both.

The Science: Never Stop Learning

Dentistry is constantly evolving, with new materials, technologies, and treatment techniques emerging every year. As a prosthodontist, I believe it is my responsibility to stay current, continually refine my knowledge, and thoughtfully incorporate advances that can genuinely benefit my patients.

One of the reasons I maintain my part-time faculty position at the University of Pennsylvania is that teaching is also an opportunity to learn. While I enjoy sharing my knowledge and giving back to the profession, I find it equally rewarding to learn alongside the residents, exchange ideas, and stay engaged with the latest developments in dentistry.

The Art: Practice, Precision, and Self-Discipline

The artistic side of dentistry is different. Knowledge alone is not enough. It takes years of hands-on experience, continuous practice, patience, and self-discipline to consistently achieve excellent results.

I often compare it to professional basketball. Even the most talented NBA players must practice relentlessly to maintain consistent, predictable performance. The same principle applies to prosthodontics. Every restoration, every adjustment, and every small detail matters.

Why We Focus on Quality Rather Than Volume

Prosthodontic treatment is often complex and highly individualized. It requires careful diagnosis, thoughtful treatment planning, meticulous execution, and, perhaps most importantly, time and attention to detail.

For these reasons, I have chosen not to participate as an in-network provider with dental insurance companies. This allows me greater freedom to spend time and recommend treatment based on each patient’s individual needs rather than the limitations of insurance reimbursement or predetermined treatment schedules.

I understand that seeing an out-of-network specialist and paying specialist fees may initially seem expensive. However, most if not all our patients have found that accurate diagnosis, ethical treatment planning, high-quality treatment, and proper long-term maintenance can ultimately make dental care more cost-effective over a lifetime.

My goal is not simply to complete a procedure. It is to provide treatment that is appropriate, predictable, maintainable, and designed to serve my patients well for years to come. Sometimes, the best treatment is not the most extensive or expensive one. Whenever possible, I believe in preserving healthy teeth, maintaining existing restorations, and avoiding unnecessary procedures.

A Special Thank You to Those Who Serve Our Community

I have tremendous respect and appreciation for those who dedicate their lives to serving others.

If you are a public school teacher, firefighter, police officer, or military veteran, please let us know. You have given so much to our country and our communities, and I would be honored to work with you to make the dental care you need more accessible.

I Look Forward to Meeting You

At the end of the day, dentistry is about people.

I consider it a privilege when patients place their trust in me. My hope is not only to provide excellent dental care, but also to build lasting relationships based on honesty, mutual respect, and trust.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I look forward to meeting you and hope to have the opportunity to be part of your dental care journey.
