Patients often describe Dr. Chang as calm, patient, and thorough. He takes the time to explain treatment options clearly, answer questions honestly, and make sure patients feel comfortable every step of the way.

Dr. Chang is a lifelong learner. He regularly pursues advanced training in implants, orthodontics, and modern dental techniques so his patients can benefit from up-to-date, high-quality care.
Giving back is important to him as well. He has participated in dental mission trips to underserved communities and recently spent three weeks providing care in Bhutan.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Chang is a husband and father of two. When he's not working, he enjoys running, hiking, and relaxing with his family over a good movie.
At Beacon Hill Dental, Dr. Chang's goal is simple: to provide honest, comfortable dentistry in an environment where patients feel heard, respected, and well cared for.

Our technology
Digital x-rays are an approved technology used to take dental x-rays. They are an essential, preventative, diagnostic tool that provides valuable information in detecting dental concerns; with up to 90% less radiation exposure. Without x-rays, problem areas may go undetected.
Dental x-rays are essential, preventative, diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam. Dentists and dental hygienists use this information to safely and accurately detect hidden dental abnormalaties and complete an accurate treatment plan. Without x-rays, problem areas may go undetected.
Are dental x-rays safe?
We are all exposed to natural radiation in our environment. Digital x-rays produce a significantly lower level radiation compared to traditional dental x-rays. Not only are digital x-rays better for the health and safety of the patient, they are faster and more comfortable to take, which reduces your time in the dental office. Also, since the digital image is captured electronically, there is no need to develop the x-rays, thus eliminating the disposal of harmful waste and chemicals into the environment.
How often should dental x-rays be taken?
The need for dental x-rays depends on each patient's dental health needs. Your dentist and dental hygienist will recommend necessary x-rays based upon the review of your medical and dental history, a dental exam, signs and symptons, your age, and risk of disease.
A full mouth series of dental x-rays is recommended for new patients. Bite-wing x-rays (x-rays of top and bottom teeth biting together) are taken at recall (check-up) visits and are recommended once or twice a year ro detect new dental problems.
Intraoral camera
The intraoral camera is an effective diagnostic tool used for viewing different angles in the mouth allowing a closer look at any potential issue or problems that may arise. It allows for simple patient-doctor interaction and effective treatment planning.
