Since opening in 1982, the practice built by Dr. David G. Carithers became part of the community itself. Many families first came here years ago and continued returning as life changed and grew around them. Over time, the office became known for the way relationships were built gradually through trust and honest conversations.
Today, that foundation continues with Dr. James Cheng. While ownership has changed over the years, the heart of the practice has remained the same. Many longtime families understandably worried about what the transition might mean because they did not want to lose the familiarity and trust they had known for decades.
Dr. James understood that concern from the beginning. Rather than changing the personality of the office, he wanted to preserve what people valued most while continuing to strengthen the care you receive here.
The Legacy Behind the Practice
Dr. David G. Carithers
For more than 30 years, Dr. Carithers served the Loganville community with a deep commitment to excellent dentistry and genuine relationships. His dedication extended far beyond the office through volunteer work at the Hebron Dental Clinic and involvement in local schools, churches, and organizations that helped shape the community around him.
People trusted Dr. Carithers not only because of his experience, but because they knew he cared about them as individuals. He created an environment where you could ask questions openly and take time to make decisions without feeling pressured, while still receiving clear guidance and honest recommendations.
That philosophy continues to guide this office today.
Carrying the Tradition Forward
As Loganville continues to grow, we remain committed to the kind of care that has shaped this practice from the beginning. We want you to feel comfortable taking an active role in your care and confident that any recommendations come from a place of honesty rather than pressure.
Dentistry will continue to evolve, but some things should stay the same. Dr. Cheng knows how important it is to feel heard and never rushed when it comes to your care. He is committed to keeping that approach at the center of everything we do.
