I found Evergreen Dental Care through web search. Since going on lockdown from COVID, I have not been able to keep up with personal care and health as well. The one thing that bothers me most is feeling like my teeth are uncleaned. Through a quick search, I found this office to be open during this time (I must mention my gratitude to their dedication in providing healthcare at this critical time). I called to make an appointment for a cleaning and came in the following week. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by friendly staff and a warm welcome for my first visit. Everyone was taking superb safety precautions, wore PPE and took temperatures. I felt safe and comfortable during my visit. The hygienist was amazing (and super friendly) as well as she thoroughly cleaned and examined my teeth. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a caring oral care office with a safe and positive environment to be in (especially during a pandemic!). Thank you Evergreen Dental Care!

At 56 yrs of age I’ve had many dentists over the years. This entire procedure was done completely painlessly! And since it also involved amalgam removal, safety was a huge concern. Dr Chang is certified in SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) removal of amalgams and accredited by the IAOMT. The employees are th friendly and knowledgeable and go the extra mile in customer service! I plan on having some cosmetic work done as well and it will definitely be here! I’ll never go anywhere else for dental work!

Hello and good day Evergreen Dental Care, Shout out to Stacy for all she does for her patients! She really goes out of her way to get the job done, she truly loves what she does and will not leave you unsatisfied. I am very pleased with the opportunity to know great people at Evergreen Dental Care, it brings me comfort and confidence to go back! Time is the greatest gift anyone can give me personally and when someone like Stacy takes her time to genuinely get my health on track, that’s the best gift ever! A great staff makes a great difference in customer service and representation of Dr. Chang! Respectfully, Isaac Acosta

Great dentist, excellent dental care, wonderful staff and my teeth are happier than they’ve been in a long time!  Dr. Chang is attentive, patient, competent, careful and a very nice person!  Before visiting his office, I had a rough dental history.  Dr. Chang has fixed problems and saved teeth with less drastic measures than others would have taken or did take; and with better results in the end.  Since going to Evergreen, my teeth have been cleaned by two different hygienists (about 4 – 6 times total) with great results each time!  The staff is friendly and responsive.  They verify insurance coverage for treatments and file claims.  The office has a calm feeling when I walk in and I have always had a good experience.  A friend had referred me to Evergreen Dental Care and later, my husband also started going there for his dental care.

Dr. Chang is very caring! Unlike other dentists who only want my money, Dr. Chang actually cares about my teeth and even more, my health/wellbeing. The hygienists who work here are gentle with their tool-work and also remembers you. Receptionist Ceci is always enthusiastic and welcoming. I’ve been coming here for years and I’ve always felt safe and cared for. Excellent service!

★★★★★

It is always a pleasure and a delight to go to Evergreen Dental Care. Dr. Richard Chang takes great pride in his work and does superb work. His staff display the same dedication to their work. No dental office surpasses their thoroughness, attention to detail and cheerful, courteous service. My experience with Dr. Chang and his staff has been very much like the experiences of the other people who have posted reviews. He and his staff are truly wonderful. I have been a patient of Dr. Chang for many years, and I can state, without any exaggeration, that Dr. Chang has a rare gift for making everyone who comes to him feel special and cared for. In the Talmud, it is written that a man is rich according to the number of lives he has touched. If this is true, Dr. Chang is one of the richest men I have ever known, and I think many of his patients will agree with me.

★★★★★

Dr. Richard Chang is the most professional dental specialist that my family has been his patients for about 3 years. Both my kids (14 & 10 yrs old) will only want to be treated by him now compared to any other dentists they have visited before. He is very gentle and patient with great compassion. My kids feel very comfortable with him. His state-of-the art clinic performs multiple procedures including check ups, teeth cleaning and cavity treatments. He also made a custom mouth guard for my husband to cure his snoring / severe sleeping apnea problem. My husband can now sleep through the night without hyperventilating in the middle of the night. We are so grateful to have Dr. Chang as our family dentist. I would highly recommend him !

Dr. Chang is an amazing dentist, and his whole team is so fantastic. They responded to an emergency broken tooth by scheduling a quick appointment to alleviate pain, followed by expert and compassionate care. Dr. Chang is a calm, professional and caring dentist, and would highly recommend Evergreen Dental Care.

I am extremely pleased at the professionalism,cleanliness and very caring attitude from everyone associated with EVERGREEN Dental Care. I chipped my front teeth just before Thanksgiving…Causing me to not want to smile through the holidays. Then I went to Dr. Chang and he wanted to make sure I would enjoy my Christmas holidays and gave me temporary veneers, when I told him my birthday was January 6th he rushed the order through the holidays just so I could have that winning smile for my birthday!  Dr. Chang is a man of his word, and I am most grateful for his services!

After thoroughly researching the effects of mercury in silver fillings, i further researched every holistic/biological dentist in Los Angeles. I decided on Evergreen Dental Care and Dr. Chang because he had amazing Yelp reviews, is accredited by IAOMT, and made me feel in good hands after my initial consultation. He proved to be a highly skilled, caring and concerned dentist who takes mercury removal very serious. He spent plenty of time making sure I was fully educated on the procedure and that all of my worries were put to rest. The procedure went smoother than I hoped and I am so glad I did it with him. Their office has a very Zen like atmosphere which helped keep me calm. It feels great to have the mercury out of my mouth! 😀

Rico R. from Alhambra, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Found about this place because my wife needed to get her amalgam “silver” fillings (which contain 50% mercury by weight) safely removed. Only a biological dentist should be doing this because they have the proper equipment and training. They did such a great job here and very friendly that we switched dentist and now come here for everything

Beth B. from Los Angeles, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr. Chang is the best dentist ever. Very caring and kind, he is never impatient and always listens to your concerns. I’ve had so much dental work done and he is the best at the numbing injections, I’ve never had any pain with fillings. The dental assistants here are also super sweet and take great care of you. Thanks to Kim and Areeha both for taking care of me and making me laugh! And the best receptionist (Melanie) was willing to walk me through every step of my insurance and spend so much time on the phone with them and then with me to make sure I fully understood beforehand all of the costs and options. Truly a wonderful place. Thank you!

This place is simply awesome, you come at the appointed time to be served promptly (no waiting) and get professional treatment. Life is busy for many of us, but the staff will call you to remind you of your appointment, just in case you may forget. As shown in the picture, the dental clinic’s waiting area exudes a warm ambience (see if you can find a sketch of Dr. Chang and her two beautiful twin daughters on the wall ^_^) Thank you, Dr. Chang and kudos to all your staff, for excellence in service and care.

searched for 6 months to find the right dentist to remove several amalgam fillings I received as a teenager. Dr. Chang just finished my last amalgam removal today! He and his staff are amazing. You can tell he really cares for his patients and his staff love working for him. What a wonderful atmosphere, he takes the anxiety out of going to the dentist. His facility is immaculate. I drive 42 miles to go there and I won’t go anywhere else. Thanks for the great work!

I recently went for a cleaning, wow!… they are so nice, professional. The place is so clean, even their restroom is really nice. I really liked that they treated me so gentle, I was afraid of the whole thing, like everybody else when they go to see a dentist, but I will definitely come back! Thank you all!

Dr. Richard Chen, the very knowledgeable award winning dentist here, is the best and most honest holistic dentist that I have seen in my life. Dentist of the year in Alhambra 2017. This is by far the best, most honest, most professional dental care that I have been to. I have seen dentist in US, Canada, and Taiwan. Dr. Richard Chen, who speaks Chinese and English fluently, was very honest and as a very rare holistic dentist, he tries his best to save a cavity, and only does root canal as a last resort. He explained in detail to my wife and I about the pros of oil pulling using organic coconut oil, which will delay and preserve a cavity from getting worse, and help the teeth to expel bacteria. Dr. Chen does oil pulling himself and can attest that it really works to improve our teeth. A previous dentist in San Gabriel that I went to tried to make my cavity worse by enlarging it, and tries to pressure me into an unnecessary root canal. But, Dr. Chen is probably the best and most honest dentist in the SG valley. My wife and I wholeheartedly recommend him. I am a Christian Bible teacher, so I do not exaggerate or boast. Truth is, if you want to find the best and most honest dentist in all of LA, it is Dr. Richard Chen. He even has patients driving in from Vegas to see him. Receptionist Melanie was great, caring, patient, professional, and very warm. This holistic dental will provide the best care for your teeth while being the most honest and trying best to save you money! You will not want to go anywhere else after meeting Dr. Richard Chen, the best and most honest holistic dentist in LA, maybe in all of the US.

I’d been visiting Evergreen Dental Care since 1990’s. Dr Chang is caring and professional, and he ensures his patients are comfortable enough under his care. During my cavity and root canal treatments, he would constantly check with me about my pain level. The injections were almost painless!!! He is very health conscious that he changed out all of my silver fillings that contained mercury. I was thankful for that because now my teeth look absolutely beautiful, and I don’t need to worry about any harmful substances that might affect my body by any chance. I’d also received teeth whitening from Dr Chang, and I got praises from people commenting how neat looking my teeth were after the procedure! He also promoted regular checkup to keep me in check. He is never tired of educating his patients about maintaining good oral hygiene and care. He is more than a dentist to me who I can trust! The office environment and staff are nice and welcoming! Overall I give Evergreen Dental Care a five thumbs that I would recommend it to everyone!!

I become Dr. Chang’s royal client since my first visit in early 2000. He and his team are professional, friendly and care for the clients I use to be sleepless a night before the dentist visit, but not until I find Evergreen Dental Care. I actually look for the periodical regular check up. I like how front desk will make the reminder call and help out with check-in. The facility is clean and up-today technology. The hygienist is so detail in deep cleaning and help on prevention. Once I have cavity and oral treatments, Dr. Chang always cares my pain level during and after the treatment. He cares more than I do. Even my feedback is painless, he will still follow up to check how am I doing. Thank you Evergreen Dental Care. Thank you Dr. Chang and the team!

Im a retired Veteran and also a Conditioning Coach for Pasadena Waldorf School. My first visit with Dr Chang and his wonderful staff Lucy, Crystal, Jaquelyn, Stacy and Elma was nothing but professionalism at its finest. A warm friendly environment for your Dental needs. Very friendly is an understatement. For those that had a bad experience with any Dentist, I highly suggest that you change over quickly with this organization. If pain is your fear factor, well you will experience no discomfort whatsoever.  Highly Recommended hands down.   Thank you so so much for upholding the simple word….Care

I have been going here for a couple of years now and my experiences here have always been great. The front desk girls are so welcoming and during Covid-19 they have been patient and make you feel safe. I did a procedure for my gums where we laser my gums to did a deep cleaning and it was a great experience. Thanks to the entire staff the procedure was smooth and easy.

I went in for Amalgam filling removal and found Dr Chang on the IAOMT website. He is certified in SMART removal of amalgams. Not only did he do a terrific and safe job (many levels of safety protocols), but it was the first dentist visit in 50 years that was completely painless! I’ll be going back for some cosmetic work soon; he takes his time and is genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Terrific office staff that is known and very helpful. I’ll never go anywhere else.

Dr. Chang and Evergreen Dental are awesome. My partner was having severe tooth pain after breaking a tooth.  We were able to schedule an emergency appointment to address the pain and get the tooth prepped for the eventual root canal.  Throughout the process Dr Chang was informative, calm and very professional.  Follow up visits were just as good – expert advice, very experienced dentist with a fantastic reassuring professionalism.   We’re thankful for Dr. Chang and his whole team!

There are not many dentists that think and believe in the wellness and welfare of your teeth than Dr. Chang. I have been going to Dr. Chang for the past year and I have to say that if you’re looking for a really good hearted and kind doctor, who gives his patients with much tender care and attention and honors his business. Now if you’re looking for a “cheap” doctor, that is NOT Dr. Chang. He is rich in his heart and gives all that he can. His humaness makes you feel at ease. I redid all my mercury fillings and even fixed and redid one of my inlay fillings without taking any payment!! Also the staff are so awesome and wonderful people. I can feel the positive energy coming from. But then again I am so blessed to have found such an attentive and caring soul making others feel cared for too. Thank you so much!!

Today was a huge milestone, Dr. Chang removed the last of my amalgam fillings. I searched for 6 months to find the right dentist to do the job. Best dentist ever, his staff is amazing as well. His facility is immaculate! Thanks for the wonderful work.

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.

I am impressed by how professional and clean Evergreen Dental is! Nice waiting room with modern art, plants and magazines for your short wait. Staff is friendly and the dentists are very gentle and knowledgeable. I was fitted for braces there and I would recommend anyone to this place! Thank you Dr. Richard Chang for having pride in your office, staff and treating your patients with love and care!

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!

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR

Drill-less Dentistry For some cavities, you can now enjoy more comfortable procedures...without the need of noisy, whirring, vibrating drills! Mercury-free Dentistry The "silver" amalgam fillings are 50% mercury, with larger fillings possibly containing as much as that in a thermometer. Considering mercury is the most toxic non-radioactive element on earth, it is of utmost importance to us to safely remove these fillings when they become faulty and replace them with today's modern materials. Conservative Crown Modern crowns are an excellent, conservative solution to cavity pain, reduced chewing strength, and general degeneration of the back teeth. Virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth, they discreetly restore teeth to an optimal state of health. Visit drteeth.com for the latest information! Evergreen Dental Care was founded by Dr. Richard Chang in 1992 with the mission of helping people achieve optimal dental health in a friendly and caring environment where natural and holistic procedures are used whenever possible. Dr. Chang is a proud member of the San Gabriel Valley tradition of dental comfort and excellence. He is a fellow of the International Academy of Dentistry, a dedicated member of the American Dental Association, and an accredited member of the International Academy of Oral Medicine & Toxicology. Dr. Chang has been a First Aid & CPR instructor for the American Red Cross since 1995, as well having volunteered at a local children’s clinic in Hacienda Heights and served as a Dental Director at an international charity free clinic in Alhambra. His passion in dentistry takes him to countries in other parts of the world such as Haiti, Bhutan, El Salvador, Bolivia and Mexico. Additionally, he is also an active member of a dental van team that travels to various locations in Southern California serving the needy and the homeless.
