A Natural Approach to
General Dentistry
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.
Dr. Chang choose holistic dentistry to offer patients a natural, healthier, nontoxic dental care. As a result, patients experience less discomfort, faster healing and healthier dental procedures. Observing holistic protocols, Dr. Chang provides these general dentistry services:
By using only non-toxic materials and treating the tooth with ozone before and during treatment, patients can avoid tooth sensitivity and allergic reactions.
Crowns and bridges can be toxic if they contain metals or other materials the patient is allergic or “reactive” to. Dr. Chang depends on biocompatibility testing to help ascertain which materials are more suitable or less reactive for the patient’s immune system. Based on test results, he uses the least toxic materials in both crowns and bridges.
When recommending dental implants to replace missing teeth, Dr. Chang treats every patient individually based on the patient’s health goals, family history and current medical history. He then advises a patient on whether or not dental implants would be an optimal solution for their health. When it’s time for a crown to be attached to the implant, Dr. Chang will provide it using the least toxic materials possible.
When a patient opts to remove a dead tooth or root-canal-treated tooth, placing ozone in the site to be treated greatly reduces post-surgery discomfort.
As a biologic dentist, Dr. Chang truly uses an integrative approach to help patients naturally heal more quickly with less discomfort. Most patients who have oral surgery performed at Transcend Dental Health don't require pain medication following the procedure.
Dr. Chang’s holistic methods are helpful in cases of TMJ problems, too. Ozone therapy can relieve inflammation.
Mercury removal is carried out according to the Huggins Protocol which was designed to minimize mercury exposure and provide Vitamin C supplementation to counteract the health risks. The Huggins Protocol also boosts the body’s ability to detoxify metals.
