A Parent’s Dream! Expert Care
Years with Dr. Chan for my 3 boys, and I never thought I'd love a dentist this much! The arcade games make it fun, and the girls ensure comfort. Dr. Chan is amazing—no second-guessing. Quick, expert care, even for my 4-year-old's cavities and 1 1/2-year-old's crowns. Highly recommend 100%!

Positive Dental Experience
The staff at dentistry for children are so good with my children every time we come in for a check-up. Very thorough. Helpful when it comes to understanding what insurance will pay for and what will not be covered.

A Calming Experience for Kids
Amazed at Dr. Chan's incredible work on my 13yr old's teeth. More to do, but my son looks forward to returning. After the first visit, he had only good things to say. Bringing my 11yr old next week. Great for any child, even those afraid of dentists. Highly recommend this calming, welcoming office.

So pleased with my new smile
Dr. Chang is the best dentist for my kids! Excellent with them, easy to talk to. Ages 17 to 3, they all love him. Every visit is fun, and the staff makes it comfortable. We've been with Dr. Chang for 3 years and will continue until they're adults. Highly recommend Dentistry for Children!
