Hi there! I’m Dr. Mike Cheng, a dedicated general dentist based in Missouri, passionate about providing exceptional care and empowering patients through education. With a strong belief that healthy habits create lasting change, I strive to make every dental visit a positive experience that strengthens both oral health and overall well-being.Growing up in a family of healthcare professionals, I learned early on the importance of gratitude, compassion, and service. These values guide my approach to dentistry and to life. My mission with DentalUp.org is simple: to share knowledge, inspire growth, and help both patients and dental professionals build better habits for healthier smiles and happier lives.When I’m not in the office, I’m writing books for my Human Nature Series, beginning with The Habit Method, which explores how small, consistent actions lead to personal and professional transformation. By connecting my love for dentistry with my passion for self-improvement, I aim to create a community where learning and growth are at the heart of everything we do.“Healthy smiles start with healthy habits.”
