A Periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease and in the placement of dental implants. In addition, they can perform cosmetic periodontal procedures to help you achieve the smile you desire.
Your dentist and Dr. Chang work together as a team to provide you with the best possible care. They will combine their experience to formulate the best treatment plan for you while keeping each other informed about your progress. When you have completed your treatment with Dr. Chang, he will refer you back to your general dentist but may also see you periodically for follow-up care and periodic maintenance treatment.
Please remember that the most important member of the treatment team is you. Your interest, participation and commitment are essential to the success of your treatment.

What to Expect
Your initial appointment typically includes an evaluation, then a detailed consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. We want to educate our patients about their health and what to expect. The more you know, the better equipped you are to make wise decisions about your health care. The more you know about our daily procedures and policies, the more comfortable you will feel.
Usually treatment is provided at your next appointment, but occasionally treatment can be done the same day as the consultation.
X-Ray
If your dentist has taken recent x-rays (within 6-months), you may request that they forward them to our office. If additional radiographs are necessary, they can be taken at our facility. Our office utilizes state-of-the-art digital technology.
