Meet Dr. Kevin Chang

 

Dr. Kevin Chang earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology at the University of the Pacific and his Doctorate of Dental Surgery at New York University College of Dentistry. During this time, he received many awards for his leadership and service. Upon graduation, Dr. Kevin went to practice in an especially under-served area in New Mexico. He focused on treating patients who were in much need of medical and dental care - many of his patients who had lived lives in poor health and dental neglect. This experience forged a dedication to helping those who are most in need.

We believe in preventive care that’s rooted in nature and supported by science. We empower families to take an active role in their children's oral hygiene and overall wellness.

When offering general dentistry, Dr. Chang fully explain the pros and cons of any treatment so patients can make truly informed choices. The only materials we use in our general dental care are those most compatible with the patient’s body. General dentistry includes not only fillings, crowns, bridges and dental implants, but also the careful removal of mercury and other toxic metals according to strict guidelines to protect the patient. 

We take a mindful approach to pediatric dental care by minimizing toxic exposure wherever possible. Our treatments are carefully chosen with your child’s overall health in mind:


• Fluoride-free and aluminum-free products


• Gluten-free tooth-cleaning options


• BPA-free composite fillings


• Epinephrine-free anesthetics


• Most importantly, we do not use sedation for children


Instead, we focus on comfort, trust, and creating a space where children feel at ease during every visit.

I visited Transcend Dental Health and Dr. Chang for a second opinion after

experiencing extreme sensitivity in one of my teeth.

  • Read More

    My previous dentist performed an exam and X-ray but found no clear issue, yet they still recommended a root canal as my only option.


    I'm so glad I sought another perspective! Dr. Chang and his team took the time to perform a thorough exam, including a cone beam CT scan, and they identified two small ‘wear and tear’ spots that were the real cause of my pain. Instead of an unnecessary root canal, they simply filled those areas—resolving my discomfort without an invasive procedure.


    Not only that, but Dr. Chang carefully reviewed the entire scan with me and even caught a developing cavity that would have caused issues in just a few weeks. Thanks to his attention to detail, I was able to address it early and prevent further complications.


    The team here is professional, detail-oriented, and truly focused on finding the right solution rather than defaulting to aggressive treatments. I really appreciate their patient-centered approach, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a thoughtful and thorough dentist!

I have never had a dentist who made me feel so heard. Dr. Kevin also went over all my past dental work. something that no other dentist has done with me before.

    It was a very in-depth appointment, and you can tell the staff really cares for their patients. I also have a cold sensitivity, and during the cleaning, they used warm water. I will be switching my whole family over to them.

I went to Transcend Dental Health for a second opinion on a root canal, as my current dentist is very conventional.  I went in fully expecting to be told to extract the tooth. 

  • Read More

    After x-rays of the root of the tooth and a CT scan to check out a previous root canal on a different tooth (prior to knowing how bad they are), he gave me the pros and cons.  He doesn't like root canals but does recommend them in certain situations.  I didn't realize that there are some major cons to extractions.


    He fully explained my tooth situation using the x-rays and CT scan, giving me time to process and ask all questions I could come up with.  He did not press me to get work done with his office.  He was friendly and pleasant, as was his assistant and front office staff.  This was my first time using a holistic dentist, and I was thoroughly impressed with Dr. Chang and his entire office.

    I had some issues with past dental work, specifically the way old crowns were created. He fixed those issues, and my teeth and health are doing so much better. His team also has a lot of information about the best holistic dental practices, which are based on science and actually work. I'm also super happy with Stephanie as my dental hygienist. In every other dentist's office, I've always had issues with them being too rough during my cleaning, then judging me for the fact that my gums bled due to their rough treatment. Stephanie is very gentle but thorough, and quite a delight to talk to as well. Overall I've had nothing but positive experiences here, and I would highly recommend them to everyone.

  • FAQs – What Patients Want to Know

    Q: What makes your office different?

    A: We are a biological and holistic dental practice that blends modern dentistry with whole-body health principles. Rather than focusing only on teeth, we view the mouth as a gateway to overall wellness. Our care is fluoride-free, mercury-safe, and centered on biocompatible materials designed to support long-term systemic health.


    Q: What makes Transcend Dental Health different from a traditional dentist?

    A: Unlike traditional dental offices that primarily treat symptoms, our approach focuses on root-cause healing. We integrate Western science with holistic principles, use non-toxic and biocompatible materials, and consider how oral health impacts the immune system, airway, microbiome, and overall health.


    Q: Do you see families?

    A: Yes. We provide holistic dentistry for both children and adults, making our office a supportive dental home for the entire family.


    Q: Do you see children?

    A: Yes. We treat children in our office, though we do not offer sedation for pediatric patients. Treatment options depend on your child’s comfort and ability to cooperate, and we focus on creating a calm, gentle experience.


    Q: Do you offer holistic dentistry for the Austin area?

    A: Yes. While our office is located in Round Rock, TX, we serve patients throughout the greater Austin area who are seeking mercury-free, fluoride-free, and biologically focused dental care.


    Q: Who is the lead dentist at Transcend Dental Health?

    A: Our practice is led by Kevin Chang, a highly trained biological dentist dedicated to combining evidence-based dentistry with holistic healing principles.


    Q: What should I expect during my first holistic dental exam?

    A: Your first visit typically lasts about two hours and includes a comprehensive exam, digital X-rays, and a detailed consultation to review your health history, dental concerns, lifestyle, and systemic health connections.


    Q: How do I prepare for my first appointment at Transcend Dental Health?

    A: We ask new patients to complete digital forms in advance and bring any recent lab work or dental X-rays. Be prepared to discuss your overall wellness, diet, lifestyle, and health goals.


    Q: Do you accept insurance?

    A: We are an out-of-network, fee-for-service practice. Payment is due at the time of service. We provide a prefilled insurance claim form so you can easily submit it for reimbursement. Many patients receive reimbursement directly from their insurance provider.


    Q: What are biocompatible materials?

    A: Biocompatible materials are carefully selected dental materials designed to work in harmony with your body, minimizing immune reactions and supporting long-term health.


    Q: Do you safely remove mercury fillings?

    A: Yes. We follow established mercury-safe removal protocols, including the SMART Protocol and the Hal Huggins Protocol, to protect patients and staff while minimizing mercury exposure and supporting detoxification.


    Q: What is your approach to root canals?

    A: From a biological perspective, root canal-treated teeth are considered long-term temporary solutions. These teeth can harbor bacteria that may contribute to chronic inflammation or systemic health concerns over time.


    Q: Do you remove root canal-treated teeth?

    A: Yes. We offer biological tooth removal focused on reducing systemic impact and supporting healing. This may include ozone therapy, PRF/LPRF, and bone grafting when appropriate.


    Q: Do you incorporate ozone into treatments?

    A: Yes. Ozone is an important part of our biological approach and is used to reduce harmful microbes, support healing, and improve outcomes in cavities, gum therapy, and surgical procedures.


    Q: What is LPRF and do you offer it?

    A: Yes. LPRF (Leukocyte- and Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is created from your own blood and helps accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and support bone and tissue regeneration after extractions or surgery.


    Q: Do you place dental implants?

    A: Yes. We offer biocompatible implant options and often recommend hybrid zirconia/titanium implants. Each treatment plan is customized based on bone health and overall wellness.


    Q: Do you offer fluoride treatments?

    A: No. We do not use traditional fluoride treatments. Instead, we focus on cavity prevention through diet guidance, remineralization strategies, pH balancing, and oral microbiome support.


    Q: Do you offer sedation?

    A: Yes. Sedation is available for adult patients when appropriate, particularly for anxiety or surgical procedures. We carefully review medical history to ensure safety.


    Q: Do you help with detox or chronic illness support?

    A: Yes. We support patients dealing with mold exposure, toxins, chronic infections, or parasites by identifying and addressing oral sources that may impact overall health.
