By using only non-toxic materials and treating the tooth with ozone before and during treatment, patients can avoid tooth sensitivity and allergic reactions.

Dr. Chang’s holistic methods are helpful in cases of TMJ problems, too. Ozone therapy can relieve inflammation.

Crowns and bridges can be toxic if they contain metals or other materials the patient is allergic or “reactive” to. Dr. Chang depends on biocompatibility testing to help ascertain which materials are more suitable or less reactive for the patient’s immune system. Based on test results, he uses the least toxic materials in both crowns and bridges. 

When recommending dental implants to replace missing teeth, Dr. Chang treats every patient individually based on the patient’s health goals, family history and current medical history. He then advises a patient on whether or not dental implants would be an optimal solution for their health. When it’s time for a crown to be attached to the implant, Dr. Chang will provide it using the least toxic materials possible. 

Mercury removal is carried out according to the Huggins Protocol which was designed to minimize mercury exposure and provide Vitamin C supplementation to counteract the health risks. The Huggins Protocol also boosts the body’s ability to detoxify metals. 

When a patient opts to remove a dead tooth or root-canal-treated tooth, placing ozone in the site to be treated greatly reduces post-surgery discomfort. 

As a biologic dentist, Dr. Chang truly uses an integrative approach to help patients naturally heal more quickly with less discomfort. Most patients who have oral surgery performed at Transcend Dental Health don't require pain medication following the procedure.
