Emergency situations usually come as a surprise, and they're often unavoidable. It's important to prepare for the worst so you can best protect yourself and your family in a time of crisis. But, in the event you or someone you know suffers from dental tooth trauma, you should know what to do when the unexpected happens.
People who lose teeth are increasingly turning to dental implants to restore their chewing ability and appearance. No matter if you want to replace a single tooth or several teeth with an implant bridge or repair loose or ill-fitting dentures, dental implants are the most effective and predictable method to improve your dental health.
The filling material we use is a strong composite resin which is tooth colored used to fill teeth that have decay, defects, or chipping. These fillings come in a range of shades to help us create the most natural appearing restoration. Crowns are covers or caps that fit securely over badly damaged, cracked, chipped, or stained teeth.
A bright smile always looks healthy and attractive. This can be accomplished with teeth whitening, a practical and convenient way to noticeably improve the appearance of you smile. Some patients still prefer the control of take-home whitening systems and GLO has that option as well. When properly supervised by your dentist, take-home whitening is a safe and effective way whiten your teeth.

If I could give 20 stars to Dr Chang and his staff, I would! They go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable! I'm an anxious patient but they are so wonderfully sweet and patient that I was much more calm in a matter of minutes!! I will always recommend this awesome doctor and his equally awesome staff to anyone needing dental care!

Dr. Chang, his dental hygienists, and office staff are all WONDERFUL. I was able to schedule a (very) last minute appointment due to a cancellation, and was unable to find childcare for my toddler on such late notice. They reassured me it would be fine for me to bring her and they’d help out! They were all so wonderful and the front office stepped in to help when me daughter got upset while they took my xrays. They did a wonderful, thorough job cleaning my teeth and I can’t wait to take my daughter back there for her first dental appointment one day soon! I would recommend this dental practice
