Central Park Dental & Orthodontics

Dr. Jiyoung Jung has a motto, “Save teeth. Save lives.” That’s not hyperbole. It’s a life’s mission. As a family dentist, she provides her family of patients all aspects of general dentistry as well as specialized treatment in sleep, airway, TMJ/TMD, and head and neck pain. But she offers them more than that. She partners with them as their wellness advocate for a long, vibrant, and happy life. That begins with prevention and early intervention.

“The function of your teeth goes far beyond chewing and talking,” Dr. Jung said. “I see the teeth as a part of the brain.” A deeper understanding of the teeth/body connection led her to focus her training on craniofacial structure and whole body treatment. For this reason, Dr. Jung provides each patient with a comprehensive exam including screening for oral cancer, gum disease, cavities, TMD, sleep/breathing disorders, tongue-tie, facial symmetry, head and neck pain, and postural misalignment. Only then can she present them with a personalized treatment plan. 

When indicated, she works collaboratively with chiropractors, physical therapists, sleep physicians, myofunctional therapists, and nutritionists to address the root causes of disease she’s identifying in a patient’s mouth. “If a child is suffering from ADHD, bed-wetting, and difficulty in school, I advocate evaluating their sleep and airway to see if the problem may be sleep related,” Dr. Jung said. “We may find a way to help them without medication.”

Central Park Dental & Orthodontics is equipped with the latest dental technology including grade-4 advanced dental lasers, 3D cone beam CT, digital X-rays, and the latest digital scanners. “This cutting-edge technology allows me to provide accurate diagnosis and non-invasive and revolutionary treatment,” Dr. Jung said. “I’ve also been blessed with a dedicated team who care as much about my patients as I do. Together, we make our office a calming place patients genuinely enjoy visiting.”

Meet Dr. Jung

Dr. Jung completed a residency in Advanced Education for General Dentistry (AEGD) at Baylor College of Dentistry where she studied advanced gum surgery, dental implants, full-mouth esthetic makeovers, and advanced root-canal treatment. She relocated Central Park Dental from Arlington to Mansfield in 2024. Dr. Jung and her husband just celebrated their 31st anniversary and serve  a small group at their church. She’s the author of two soon-to-be-released books and has spoken before the United Nations. When not on the job, Dr. Jung loves spending time with family, her companion cavapoo, Bomi, and especially her two granddaughters. “My life’s goal is to love God, serve the people of God, and create a better world for the next generation,” she said.
