    Ask the Community - Gerald E Chang, DDS

    Do you do root canal? Do you extract teeth and do implants there all at same dental office? If you…

    Hi Cindy. Yes we do root canals, extractions , and implants here at our office. However, depending on the difficulty of the case there are times we will refer the treatment out to a specialist.… Read more

    If, after consultation , your suggestion is for dentures, do you do full dentures?

    We do fabricate full dentures here at our office. If the case is complex due to lack of bone we may refer out to specialists if necessary.

    One more x-ray question. Are your x-rays the newer, more comfortable digital or the old style that are difficult for some (like me) to tolerate?

    Sorry I don’t know but our X-ray sensors are standard size and shape. We try our best to make our patients comfortable while we take them but it can be uncomfortable for some people.

    Do you do the panoramic x-ray or only bitewings?

    We do not take panoramic X-rays here at our office. We only take full mouth series and bite wings X-rays.

    Do you accept Liberty Dental, a PPO?

    We are not an in-network provider for liberty ppo however we do bill them as an out-of-network provider.

    Do you perform root canals?

    Depending on the case we do some at our office. However, most root canals are referred to a endodontist.

    Hello, is Dr. Chang accepting new patients and he is able to do a root canal (redo/Re-treatment) if needed in addition to the crown replacement? I see he is on the delta dental provider list and the website describes root canals.

    Hello. We do accept new patients with emergencies. However, we do not redo root canals. We would need to refer you to a endodontist for that procedure.

    I call to make teeth cleaning appointment with your office, I have ppo Delta dental insurance, but you don’t take new patient, when should I call back for appointment?

    Hi Betsy. With patients feeling safer now to come to the dentist since being vaccinated we are finding ourselves to be fully booked. You can try calling back next month to see if we have any openings for new patients. Thank you for your inquiry.

    Do you Accept Delta Dental thru Kaiser Permanente?

    If it is a PPO plan yes we do. If it is a HMO plan no we do not.

    Do you accept the New Dental Choice plans?

    We do not accept the new dental choice plan.

    I recently learned that your office is charging $10 per visit for "Unspecified preventive procedure, by report-Code D1999." This is to cover PPE for the office during the pandemic. Why was this not communicated to patients before billing them for it?

    This is charged out to the insurance company, not to the patient directly. Please contact our office for further explanation. But in the meanwhile we will look into ways to efficiently communicate this to our patients.

    Hi! Do you accept any dental discount plans such as iDental, Aetna Dental or Ameriplan? Thanks so much!

    Yes we do accept certain plans at this time.

    Do you accept United Healthcare?

    No we are not an in-network provider. However, we accept UH as a out-of-network provider for PPO plans.

    Does your office take Delta Dental PPO?

    Yes we do accept Delta PPO

    Do they take Guardian?

    Yes we accept Guardian as long as it is a PPO plan.

    Is Care Credit accepted as a form of payment?

    Hi Rylan, Yes we do accept care credit as a form of payment. However, there are requirements and limitations. Please contact our office if you need specific information.… Read more

    What does the insurance actually cover?

    Hi Ruth. Sorry I missed your question. Every insurance policy is different so its hard to say what they will cover and what they will not cover. If there is something specific you are looking to see coverage for you can call your insurance company… Read more

    Dr. Chang do all of the dentists you have set up to cover for those 3 days you are not available take the same insurance that you do?

    Each dental office has their own list of insurances that they are providers for. Some of them may or may not be in-network providers but all of them can bill your insurance… Read more

    5 Stars - Absolutely Outstanding Experience!…read more If I could give more than five stars, I would! Palm Springs Modern Dentistry truly lives up to its name--modern, clean, and incredibly professional. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a team that was kind, spirited, warm, and genuinely inviting. Their energy made me feel comfortable and welcome right away. What impressed me the most was how heard and supported I felt. I'm currently navigating some financial challenges due to a divorce, and not once did they make me feel pressured or guilty about my situation. Instead, they showed nothing but understanding, compassion, and patience, which meant the world to me. I left feeling cared for, respected, and grateful to have found a dental practice that not only takes care of your teeth but also cares about you as a person. I highly recommend Palm Springs Modern Dentistry to anyone looking for a dental team that combines professional excellence with true human kindness.

    My initial visits to this office were fine, but the dentist I was assigned to left the practice. It…read moretook them a few months to hire a replacement, and once they did they scheduled me for a routine appointment. After x-rays, I waited in an exam room for the new dentist. Eventually a very young-looking woman barged through the door and announced "we have a problem." What? And who are you? I assumed she was the new dentist, but I'd never met a medical professional who failed to introduce herself. She brought my x-rays up on a screen, and pointed to a shaded area above a molar. "You have an abscess." I noted I'd had a root canal two years prior, but wasn't experiencing any abscess symptoms. She countered with "you don't practice good oral hygiene because you haven't seen a dentist in two years. You probably have bone loss and will need an extraction and implant." HUH??? I informed her that if she'd read my chart, she would know I 1) had recently seen the dentist she replaced, 2) had a teeth cleaning 6 months ago, and 3) have a serious medical condition that contraindicates tooth extractions and implants. She backed off and said we could "try" a second root canal, then disappeared and was replaced by a salesperson who attempted to upsell me on the above. I spent decades in the music/entertainment industries, and never have I experienced a clumsier hustle than this predatory dental gaslighting. The reviews here speak for themselves, but add to that the dentist had apparently graduated from dental school just a few months before I became her unwitting patient. Needless to say, I switched practices pronto, and enhanced imaging by a far more experienced dentist revealed the "abscess" was actually a sinus polyp. Turns out I didn't need $8,000+ of upsell that could've killed me after all. Go figure. Buyer beware.

    Congratulations...you have found a rare professional! Dr. Jeffrey Tom, who was referred by my…read moreendodontist for a TMJ consultation, is a breath of fresh air in the field of medical professionals. Dr. Tom stands unique in his ability to set a tone of calm in the room, listen to his patient's "story," handle a comprehensive examination, analyze the information to determine a diagnosis and clearly outline potential treatments, with an overarching conservative approach. Dr. Tom is superbly qualified among peers, having completed advanced study in prosthodontics. To round out the picture of this practice: The office is beautifully designed for aesthetics and privacy, and each associate from the front desk to the initial interviewing dental assistant understands the importance of client care, and friendly, competent interaction. Dr. Tom has hired and built a real team. Even with a degree in journalism, I can't find enough words to detail the quality of the experience you will have in this office.

    I went in for what should have been a very simple dental bonding procedure on my front teeth, and…read moreit turned into a really upsetting experience. The bonding was done poorly and did and does not look right at all. Instead of taking accountability, I was met with excuses rather than solutions. This is especially frustrating considering how basic this type of procedure is supposed to be. What made the experience even worse was the pressure from the front desk staff--specifically Julie--who repeatedly pushed me toward getting a crown instead. It felt inappropriate and unnecessary, especially when I originally came in for something much more conservative. This has genuinely affected me emotionally. My front teeth are something you can't ignore, and this happened right around my birthday, which completely ruined what should have been a special time. It's been two weeks and I still can't look at myself in the mirror. I came in expecting a simple fix and left feeling stressed, unheard, and unhappy. I would not recommend this office based on my experience.
