I can't thank Formosa Dental Arts enough. I woke up with a severe toothache, and when I asked for recommendations in a local Facebook moms group, at least five people mentioned Formosa Dental Arts. The pain was unbearable, and I was so grateful they were able to give me a same-day appointment. They diagnosed the issue quickly and referred me for the next step of care right away. It is hard to find doctors who are truly empathetic. Wishing them all the best. read more

Dr Alexander Chang is a word-class dentist and the only one in SoCal that could help a very difficult case of former olympic athlete dental trauma, with multiple teeth broken/missing etc. and give him back functionality and smile. After seeing technically the most experienced dentists across LA and OC only to be told the case is above their professional competence, Dr Alex took care of me in a way that made his much older peers look like his students who skipped homework for too long. Dr Alex, thank you! and I seriously encourage you to consider an academic career as well as your much needed practice that you bless your community with! Amitābha! read more

I usually dread going to the dentist, but Formosa Dental Arts and Dr. Chang completely changed that for me. This was by far the best dental experience I've ever had. From the moment I walked in, the front desk staff were so warm, welcoming, and organized. The hygienist was incredibly sweet, gentle, and patient, and made me feel completely at ease the whole time. The dental assistant was also kind and attentive. Dr. Chang was amazing, kind, thorough, and genuinely caring. He took the time to explain everything clearly, showed me my X-rays and photos of my teeth, and walked me through what he was seeing and why he was recommending certain treatments. I felt listened to, respected, and never rushed. It's funny to say this, but I actually loved my experience at this dental office. For someone who usually avoids the dentist, that means a lot. I would never go anywhere else now. So grateful I found this team! read more

I had been visiting Dr. Alex Chang for 8+ years now and still the BEST dentist that I could recommend in OC/Irvine area. Highly recommended

Staff is always very welcoming. Dentist and Hygienist always do their best to make you feel comfortable and have all your questions answered. I was persistent with my questions and finally got a referral for second opinion with outside Oral Surgeon covered by my insurance. The office is always so well kept and very clean, sanitized! Brightly lit too. The hygienists really do their best to help me maintain my teeth. They ran out of goodie bag at one of my visits but the last two, they always have goodies bags! I have not had any serious treatment done besides 2x/year maintenance. The location is pretty convenient in Irvine with plenty of parking during weekend days. I always book my appointment early during weekdays to avoid all the shopping traffic from late morning into the night all day every day. read more

See all

I went for my first appointment in June of 2025 and have wanted to write this review ever since. I had an absolutely horrific experience with a previous dentist I tried, who specifically tried to recommend both cosmetic and functional procedures all at once to make $5000 upfront. She tried to push me by saying scary things about how things could go wrong, and if I hadn't been under the care of a capable family friend for most of my life, I might have believed her. It scared me off dentists for a year. Dr. Emily Liu at Formosa Dental Arts really gave me the opposite experience. She was very conservative in her estimates of what work needed to be done, thorough in her evaluation of the teeth without using scare tactics, and even nerded out a bit about current research to give me more information about my own teeth. I loved speaking with her and found her office staff professional, friendly, and kind. A dependable dentist is a true gem. Definitely give this office a try if you're looking for a long-term provider. read more

Dr. Chang was very knowledgeable and gentle. He meticulously worked through every details and also gave extremely valuable and honest guidance. Ignacio was super accommodating and helpful. Very professional. read more

I chipped my tooth and called Dr Emily Liu's office . She was very accommodating and able to see me the same day. She did a great job fixing my chipped tooth. I'm able to chew on the right side now. I'll be seeing her in the future for my future Dental care. The office staff are all very professional and I'm able to get appointments relatively quickly read more

I was in and out pretty quick and their care is great. They provide coffee and water as well in the waiting area, but I never had to wait long. read more

Almost no waiting time! Checkup and cleaning done in 30 minutes! Will come back in 6 months.

Dr. Alexander Chang and his team (Michael, Emily, Ryan, and Ignacio) are excellent. They put patient first. 1.) They don't push you to get unnecessary procedures (ethical). 2.) They don't claim to know everything (truthful). 3.) They help solve your problem as if you're their family (trust). I am glad I stumbed onto Formosa Dental Arts. They don't need my five-star review. They'll get plenty of new patients through word-of-mouth referrals. To Formosa Dental Arts: Thank you guys for being patient-first. Keep up to good work. I'll recommend you guys to all of my friends and family. read more

Today was my first visit to this dentist and it was honestly the best dental experience I've had. I had chosen this place because the place I would normally look at (where my daughter goes) was booked and picked this based on the reviews and they don't lie. I will definitely keep going to this place. Dr Emily was the one who I saw but the whole staff is very friendly and chatted with my daughter for a bit and gave her some goodies, so she loves them too! Emily is super friendly and knowledgeable, will take the time to answer all your questions and explain what's going on which I've never had from a dentist, which definitely eased my anxiety. They won't nickel and dime you like I've experienced at an older dental place, which is refreshing. Thank you Dr Emily and Formosa! read more

Truly an amazing experience! They really took care of me and loved the knowledgeable team. You can't go wrong visiting this office!

Extremely caring, thorough, and pleasant experience. I came in as a new patient, got a set of x-rays and cleaning done.

This was a first with the many dentists I've been through. Very clean and quaint office, got efficiency down to an art as well! read more

My 82 year old father is in need of a lot of dental work. After consulting with 2 dental offices and not feeling comfortable with them, I decided to try one more dental office that a friend highly recommended. Although it was out of the way, I was determined to finding the right dentist for my father. So I took my 82 year old father to Formosa Dental to see Dr Chang. Oh Boy! Was i happy i did. Unlike the other dental offices. At Formosa dental they are straight forward with everything. From the front office manager to the staff and the doctors, The process has been so smooth and efficient. I since have made an appointment for my mother and myself. All the Doctors are so kind, professional and so skillful. They go above and beyond and their prices are so reasonable compared to other dentists. From the moment you walk into this office, you can feel happiness in the air. Most importantly, My father is getting the treatment that he deserves. I could not be happier to have found this office. They make you feel like family and we are now customers for life. Thank you to everyone at Formosa Dental. We Love you and see you soon for our next appointment. I Highly, Highly, Highly recommend Formosa Dental. read more

Dr. Chang has been my dentist for 8 years. I think the minimal turn over of staff at his office speaks volumes about the type of person he is. Ryan is my dental hygienist and he is the person I interact with most. He does excellent work as well and keeps me updated about the things that I need to watch out for. When something does arise related to my teeth, it's so nice to know that I can count on someone like Dr. Chang. He has really steady hands. He is precise but at the same time non-intrusive. His level of professionalism is just on another level. In the 8 years, Dr. Chang has never recommended an unnecessary procedure. He will take the time to explain everything in detail if you have questions. This is such a contrast from all my other dental office experiences before. I have PPO insurance, which is what is accepted at his office. I believe he speaks mandarin and if I had to pay cash for dental care, I honestly would trust Dr. Chang's recommendations. read more

Choosing a dentist is no easy work, but finding one that truly understands and cares for your dental health is like finding a needle in a haystack. Fortunately, I've found Formosa Dental Arts. My experience with Dr. Emily Liu has been excellent. She's very caring, attentive, knowledgeable, and personable. Ryan the hygienist was also extremely patient and detailed during the cleaning. Great team here at Formosa Dental Arts. I look forward to my future visits with you. Thank you! read more

I moved to Irvine last year and needed to find a new dentistry. After a few quick searches I found Formosa Dental Arts with great reviews and it's only few minutes drive away from me. I called to make an appointment and got a call back saying I can go in same day. From prior experience I was never able to get appointments so quickly, so I was very glad I could get my check up done. I arrived at my appointment time and waited a couple minutes in the waiting room. I filled out the forms online so I didn't have to fill it out in the waiting room. It's nice that I had the option to digitally fill them out instead of writing things on a clip board. I was then called inside and seated on the dental chair for a good 10+ minutes before anything happened. Got my x-rays done which felt a little more cumbersome but good thing these are only done no more than once a year. I love how I was able to see the x-rays on a TV screen right in front of me as it happened. In the past x-rays were in a manila folder where only the dentist could see. Waited another 5 minutes and then Dr. Emily introduced herself and did my routine check up / teeth cleaning. She was very nice and detailed and explained to me what was going to happen. We talked about my problem tooth and the plan moving forward. Afterwards a dental hygienist did the polishing and flossing. This specific dental visit took about 1.5 hours. Overall I would say it was a good experience. I do wish there was a goody bag at the end (like my prior dentists had given me!) but that's not a dealbreaker :) As I was leaving, I asked about the quarterly raffle and am excited to see if I could win! Thanks Formosa Dental Arts for great first time experience at your dental office! read more

Most people generally fear going to the dentist but the friendly staff and the impressive dentistry work by Dr. Chang makes getting your teeth worked on a pleasure. I recently had a tooth extracted and had heard many stories from friends of how painful the procedure is and to brace myself. I went in expecting to be in pain but before I knew it the procedure was already done! And I barely felt a thing! Alison was extremely helpful in explaining the entire process and getting everything set up around my busy schedule to make the whole experience even simpler! read more

Formosa Dental Arts - The accursed wisdom tooth - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Irvine, California

I've been going to Formosa Dental Arts for about 5 years now. Dr. Chang and his team are AMAZING. Every encounter I've had with everyone in the office has been pleasant, yet always professional. It's like seeing family every 6 months lol. First, Allison is the best. She is very organized and on top of scheduling and reminding us when we have an upcoming appointment. Rose is the RDH that I usually see, and it's always like catching up with a girlfriend. Dr. Chang always explains things very thoroughly, and our conversations always pick up from the last appointment without skipping a beat. If you're looking for a dentist in Irvine, give Formosa a try. You won't have to look any further. read more
