Jonathan Chang, DMD
Hi, I’m Dr. Jonathan Chang. As a child, I had some issues with my teeth and needed braces for six years. I never minded going to my dentist, but it was much later in life that I decided to pursue dentistry as a profession. I came from a family of physicians and knew that I was destined to be a doctor someday. It wasn’t until I was sitting in a dental chair myself for a routine checkup that I heard “Dr. K will be with you in a moment,” and it occurred to me that dentists were doctors too! I love the interaction and relationships that come with being a dentist. Having the ability to calm someone’s nerves, decrease their anxiety, and allow them to enjoy the process is an incredible feeling.
In dental school, I was assigned a patient who was in a bad accident and the prescribed pain killers completely destroyed her teeth. She volunteered as a patient at the school because she had been shamed by other dentists and was embarrassed. Over the years of working on her, we became close friends, and I was able to restore her smile back to health. We built a personal connection and needless to say, the experience put my life into perspective. Throughout my career, I’ve made it my mission to get to know my patients so that they can trust in the care I provide to them.
I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, playing lots of pickleball, and walking my dogs with my wife. I am also a proud member of the Sugar Hill Downtown Development Authority and enjoy being on a committee that serves my community.
