Evergreen Dental Care

I have been going to Evergreen dental clinic for about 3 years now. I couldn’t be happier with the professional and courteous care given to me at every visit.
I have had removal of mercury filling, cosmetic and cavity treatments, and teeth cleaning done by the best dentists and hygienist here. All the doctors (Dr Chang, Dr Osada, etc) and hygienist (Ellie) make sure there is as little discomfort as possible during the procedures, while ensuring the jobs are done right! Often times I’m so relaxed I could fall asleep!
I’m so grateful that I found Evergreen to look after my dental health. You can’t go wrong with their state-​of-​the-​art equipments and excellent services!

I’ve been a patient at Evergreen for about a year. There are pros and cons.
The pros: I’ve never had 2 wait in waiting room & after being called in I’m seen right away. Hygienist are very good and thorough, they even do a cancer screening of the tongue. Place has always been clean. Office staff are polite and text & remind you of an appointment.
In addition I feel that personnel are mindful of my feelings, patient and caring, i had a procedure completed, and not only it didn’t hurt, the dentist personally called me the following day to see how I was. I also had x-​rays done, and although I have not verified, I was told, that they have the latest equipment which uses minimum amount of radiation. I also like that I requested to have copy of my x-​rays emailed to me and this was completed within minutes.
The cons: I don’t like is that the prices are kind of high and that there’s a $ 40.00 fee if you don’t show up to an appointment. If it weren’t for these two things I would rate them 5 stars.

Today was my third visit to Evergreen and I saw Dr. Chang.
My experience was amazing!!! Everyone who works there is so kind and patient.
I’m the type of person who asks a lot of questions when I am at the doctor or dentist and everyone who works there always takes the time to listen and respond throughly.
Highly highly recommended!

Juicy one stop dentist
Dr Richard Chang is certified IAOMT and he’s one of the few in the area. The certification means that it takes out the toxic mercury fillings without spreading the toxins in the air and is safe for you not to ingest it also. If you still have mercury fillings, you should remove it asap since it is very toxic.
I had 2 inlays done with him and it was very excellent. He does a great job of giving the anesthesia where it does not hurt at all. The fillings and inlays were done perfect. It is all done in efficiency and you are out the door in an hour or less depending on your situation.
I also did teeth cleaning and it was excellent. One thing I noticed after the cleaning that not a lot of hygienist do is check for oral cancer. The hygienist did that afterwards and gave me lots of great recommendations on how to take care of my teeth. My teeth was cleaned very well and it was a great experience.
Other reasons for the 5 stars are the nurses are very professional, kind, and genuinely do care for your well being. The place is clean and very well maintained without the awful dentist smell. They take insurance and cash with prices being reasonable. You won’t be disappointed, you also get a referral credit if you refer someone.

Best dentist ever! Dr. Richard Chang and his staff are professional, courteous and mindful of your feelings. Your comfort and wishes come first! Dr. Richard Chang uses wholistic means and homeopathics to treat your teeth and gums. He will also use porcelain instead of filling your cavities with composite (which is plastic). This practice will treat children and adults. Cleanings are awesome! Ellie is my favorite hygienist ever! And we recently had to call the office for a dental emergency and Dr. Change and Donalyn came on a Sunday night, glad to help us. Very very kind.

I am usually one who dreads going to the dentist, let’s just say it’s not on my list of favorite places to go. But when I do go, this is absolutely the place that I go to.
I’ve actually been away from the LA area for the past 5 years, and now that I’m here again for the time-​being, I’m so glad that Evergreen dental is here. Dr. Chang and his staff is a pleasure to be around and they are so good at what they do. I just left from here this afternoon and had what I might sort of call a major surgery, at least for me, and I was pretty comfortable all the way through. I did not feel a thing, kept expecting it, but nada. I’m not sure how Dr. Chang does it, but I feel pretty good when I leave every time.
I also have an adverse issue with anything that has to do with metal, like if you ever had to get a crown, and one of the big deals for me is that they don’t use that metal fillings or lining here. I think it’s called holistic dentistry.
Billing and working with the insurance was a breeze, they just took care of it all and I paid my share via credit card and was out the door.
Thanks Dr. Chang and team!

It’s always a challenge to find a dentist you can truly trust and depend on.
I’ve been going to this dental office for over 10 years now. Not only are the hygienists very gentle, caring, and nice, they make sure you understand each step of the process you’re going through, going through each tooth thoroughly with their clean tools. Dr. Chang himself is extremely knowledgeable, also very considerate, patient, and informative. He tries his best to make sure you don’t feel any pain during the process.
Not only are the people nice, even the office itself is always looking clean and fresh. They really try hard to keep it fresh by placing different pots of orchids, new magazines, decorations, time-​killing toys, and fresh water for their patients.
I highly recommend coming here for dental work, to feel the love and care they really have for each of their patients, and to feel secure with a dentist again.

i’ve known Dr. Chang for some time now. Visiting his office is not like visiting an other dentist office I’ve ever been to. Everybody is kind and attentive. Just getting my teeth cleaned I feel like I’m the most important person in the world. And they are very thorough and informative.
I started seeing him because another dentist wanted to do an emergency root canal after I bit a rock hidden in a burrito and chipped a tooth. Dr. Chang did some tests and told me to wait a week or two. Turned out I didn’t need a root canal. He didn’t even charge me for the consultation. I’ve been going back to him ever since.
Getting a filling done is actually relaxing – if you can believe it. He does something when he’s administering the novocaine where you don’t even feel the needle go in. He takes his time and makes sure you’re comfortable the entire time.
I highly recommend me and his staff.

I worked with this office in a professional setting! They were wonderful to work with. Very friendly staff. They understood exactly what I needed from them and worked well with my schedule.

I was looking for new dentist office .My dentist he pass away and patients list was sold to another office. My old did some work removed my old filling. They said I have few cavities, one was on same tooth that my old Dr replace filling. I ask them if can send digital X ray to dentist office for second opinion. They yes month later no E mail to office. So call and ask to send it to my Emails. They said their New email system won’t let them .ask for it on flash drive, they said they can not put my X ray on drive without other patients X ray. I don’t trust this dentist office. Did not go back for schedule work.

I am a total wimp when it comes to going to the dentist. I’ve had quite a few bad experiences in the past, so when I say that the only dentist I would ever trust with my care is Dr. Chang — well, that says it all. I highly recommend Evergreen Dental!

This is the best dental office from the front desk to the hygienists to Dr. Chang himself. Everyone has a gentle touch and they must all be trained in listening skills because they really hear you. There is easy parking plus the office itself is comfortable and quite cozy yet modern. There are always interesting magazines to read in the waiting area but no time to read them — they whisk you in and out rather quickly. I was really surprised at how fast the procedures are. The staff is also cheerful and knowledgeable — so friendly. This office feels good to walk into like they’re genuinely glad to see you. Not only that, dr. Chang does wonderful work, checking as he goes along to make sure you’re not in any discomfort. I’ve not had any pain in his care with filling or crown.
OH! I had to bring a friend to him for an emergency visit. My friend was here for less than 24 hours from overseas and he was suffering with an abscessed tooth. I kept telling him how it was going to be ok because he was going to Dr. Chang. He was dubious but when it was all over he was blown away by the fact that he had absolutely no discomfort and was very glad he he went to Dr. Chang. A month later he reports all is good and there were no complications. He wishes he had Dr. Chang where lives.

I have been going to Dr. Chang for dental care for a couple of years now and I couldn’t be happier. After getting ripped off and brutalized by what I was told was the best dental office in L. A. (USC graduate) it took me about 5 years to go back to the dentist because I was terrified.
I have never in all my years encountered a kinder, more gentle dentist than Dr. Chang. His office is incredibly gracious and very professional. The work Dr. Chang does from fillings to crowns is absolutely beautiful and he works with my budget.
I love going to Evergreen Family Dental and look forward to my visits.

I have been going to Evergreen Dental Care for about 3 years now. I wanted to see a dentist who specialized in mercury filling removal, after battling chronic fatigue for years, doing my own research, and deciding that mercury fillings could be a potential cause of the fatigue. Dr. Chang did a great job explaining how the mercury removal would work, and how it is suctioned out with a powerful vacuum thing that they put on your tooth so there’s no danger of mercury being swallowed or absorbed back into your body. He put porcelain on-​lays where the mercury fillings were and you can’t even tell that they are fillings. They just look like natural teeth and I LOVE them! I wish I could afford to replace all my composite with porcelain, but it is pretty expensive and insurance doesn’t cover all of it.
Ellen is a wonderful hygienist and I am very picky about hygienists because you end up spending most of your time with them rather than the dentist, providing you have been good and don’t have a ton of cavities. She is very thorough with cleaning my teeth and asking about any changes in health and medical history. They also use a thyroid collar for x-​rays which I appreciate. Yes, their equipment is outdated and could really stand to be replaced, in my opinion, but I don’t go there for the equipment. I go there for Ellen and Dr. Chang and the MERCURY-​FREE dentistry.

I’ve been to dozens of dentists in eight countries on three continents and I honestly say without any reservation that Dr. Richard Chang of Evergreen Dental Care is THE BEST dentist I’ve ever trusted with my teeth! He is enormously patient, extremely careful, and that a patient like me who defines dental-​phobia. He was able to remove several mercury-​based amalgam fillings and to replace them with a safe ceramic-​based product. WONDERFUL WORK!

I was visiting family earlier this week and, out of nowhere, cracked my tooth. The receptionist (I forget her name) was so nice and promised they’d take care of me that day. I got in within the hour and was out in no time. Dr. Chang made sure I missed very little of my trip. if I ever move down here, this is where I’ll go!

After considering several dentists to remove my mercury fillings, I finally decided on Dr. Chang. I am relieved to say that I am happy with my choice. All six fillings were removed using an accredited safe process with no discomfort at a reasonable price. In fact, it was one of the best dental experiences I’ve had. The office is very relaxing and has this peaceful energy. Dr. Chang and his staff are also very warm, attentive and accommodating. I urge any reader to remove your amalgams if you are experiencing health issues as I had. Two mornings after the removals I got outta bed, for the first time in years, effortlessly! I feel like I’ve been released from a spell or curse. It’s been only two days but I feel a very noticeable change in my spirit. I know, though, that there will be some unpleasant detoxing up ahead until my body rids itself of the residual mercury.
A word of advice, here. Before you get any dental work done where you change the top surface of your biting teeth, make sure you do bite exercises to familiarize yourself with your bite (e.g., where do your teeth meet; what does it feel like when you chew, etc.). This way you can recreate your bite after dental work.

I went to this dental office because of the raving reviews below. I was thoroughly disappointed. This dental office has outdated equipment and Dr. Chang and some of his staff don’t have your best interest in mind.
1. MONEY GREEDY– they tried to rip me and my insurance off for unnecessary procedures
2. they have outdated equipment and will take unnecssary X rays exposing your body to unecessary radiation.
3. they will waste your time — my routine cleaning+exam took almost 3 hours.
I went in for a routine dental cleaning. I was taken to go get X-​Rays. Seriously, oldest machines ever — the white plastic on the machines were all stained yellow from age. I had to take the typcial ones where they stick those white pieces in your mouth, but also a standing X-​ray, which i later found out was not needed. The hygienist was such a sweetheart and the only postiive thing about this dental practice.
I waited around 15 minutes after the dental cleaning for Dr. Chang to finally examine my mouth. He claimed I had 6 cavities, 3 of which required Onlays (which are almost like crowns). I was in disbelief because I’ve gotten regular dental cleanings every 6 months for the last couple of years. I couldn’t have needed such drastic procedures out of no where. I asked for him to show me what exactly he thought needed to be done, so he took me to a separate room where I was told to wait again in this room by myself. After 10 minutes, he finally came back and he showed me a model of the onlay procedure. Not once during the entire exam did he ever show me the XRays to proove there were cavities.
I still didn’t beleive that this was necessary so I asked him to show me with a camera. He said he hadn’t used this camera in such a long time and needed to set it up. Evidence that he doesn’t usually explain to his patients what needs to be done, despite how quick he is to charge them for expensive procedures. I was surprised he even had a camera given how outdated the rest of the equipment was. Had to wait yet another 15 minutes. Finally he used the camera to show me the teeth he was talking about, but didn’t even take pictures so I couldn’t ask questions with the camera in my mouth. He just pointed the camera at teeth and said «here». Horrible at explaining anything… I expect a clear explanation of why I need to have a $ 1400+ procedure done…
Horrified at this exam, I asked for a quote on paper of the 3 onlay procedures he recommended. I had to wait in that room by myeslf again for another 15 min. Eventually, the receptionist came in with quote. The total for the 3 onlays was $ 2,961.00!!! Insurance was covering about $ 1,500 and I was going to be charged over $ 1400. I took my X-​Rays and told them I was leaving to get a second opinion, and I am SO GLAD I DID.
Went to the get a second opinion yesterday at. Jefferey Chen (
). Showed him the Xrays and his first comment was «Why did they take this XRay when you don’t even have wisdom teeth? This is just a waste of radiation to your body.» Then he took me to the camera and took a series of 6 – 10 pictures. He showed me each tooth that Dr. Chang claimed needed to be worked on, explained what the Onlay procedure would do to my teeth, and then told me none of them were necessary. I asked if there were any cavities or anything that needs to be done immediately, and he said no and to just keep doing your regular cleanings.
Moral of the story, don’t go to Everygreen Dental unless you wnat to get ripped off. Save your money and teeth and go to Jeffrey Chen, DDS.

Evergreen Dental’s dentists and staffs are very professional and friendly. I’ve had dental treatment in several different dental offices before; compare them with EG Dental, EG provides the best service and caring. My serious gum disease which bothers me a lot have been treated very well and effectively in EG Dental. Especially thanks to Dr. Man and Yifan. Appreciate your hard work so much! I’ll take care of my gum better.

Decided to try Evergreen Dental and was very pleased. I delayed seeing a dentist for over a year because of having a bad experience at my last dentist. I was nervous about going to a new dentist but Dr. Chang and his staff were very nice and made me feel very comfortable being a new patient there.
I had my teeth cleaned and some x-​rays taken. Dr. Chang found that I had some new cavities and that my current mercury fillings were no longer any good. I decided to have all recommended work done because I felt comfortable with his treatment plan and by this time I already knew that this experience would be better than the ones I’ve had in the past.
I had to schedule a few appointments with them to get everything done but that was not a problem and I don’t live too far away so I didn’t mind at all. When all the work was finished I was so happy because my ugly mercury (silver in color) fillings were gone! Dr. Chang uses a tooth colored filling which matched pretty well with the color of my teeth.
Overall the entire experience was positive even when I thought it wouldn’t be. I thought the shot to numb me down was going to be painful but it wasn’t, Dr. Chang was gentle which made me feel very relaxed. I felt very little discomfort while he was working on my teeth and most of the time, none at all. Dr. Chang is a great dentist and I’d recommend anyone looking for a dentist to give Evergreen a try.
