John T. Chan, DDS

As I promised in my previous review of Dr. John Chan, I am now sharing the rest of my dental experience with you.
In the last few years, several established dentists told me what I wanted to accomplish from the dental procedure was «impossible», while I was simply wishing to restore the original look of my teeth, and my natural smile. I didn’t want my teeth to look like something you see in a magazine, straight, even, sparkling white — but unnatural. I brought my old pictures to Dr. Chan and told him my «impossible» wishes. Much to my surprise, he not only said to me: «it is possible», he also said: «everything is possible», with a positive tone.
That was not an empty promise. Dr. Chan has made my wishes come true, with flying colors. Every tooth of mine now has its own personality, variations of contour, color to match my skin tone and the tooth next to it, then cohesively blends in with the rest. They all fit so well with no visible spaces in between. Let me tell you, it took tremendous effort and patience from him, and from his team, it was not an easy task, indeed! Hey, I knew I came with lots of expectations, and I would not settle for the second best. It took a few months to get all the work done, as my gum needed time to heal in between the bite fittings, crown moldings, and the matching of shade and shape. No details were ever missed by his keen eyes. The work was finally completed before the holidays.
I said to myself, it would be a great time to put Dr. Chan’s work to a test from the reaction of my friends and families in the holiday gatherings. I worried that I could have been bias because I was impressed by Dr. Chan’s positive attitude and personality, it was the perfect timing to let the third parties be the judge. As a result, I am happy to share with you that, almost everyone in the parties said to me: «you look so young and happy there, your smile just looks different, what is it? » You see, this was exactly what I had always wanted to achieve all those years. I did not want to draw attention to my dental work, instead, I wanted to draw attention to how the dental work had restored and affected my smile, the natural smile that I was always proud of, but lost it from the dental work done over the years by those «Dr. Impossible», who did not take my wishes and concerns to their hearts.
Before I had the dental procedures performed by Dr. Chan, all my crowns and implants looked fine from the surface, straight, flat and even; however, they were so rigid with no personality, just like a denture without a life of its own. To make it worse, the bad fittings and lack of contour of the crowns done by my previous dentists had been causing problems to my gum and bite, therefore, slow deterioration underneath my teeth. During the time Dr. Chan was performing the procedures for me, I learned from him that, the length and the contour of each tooth contributed to the way we smile, forming the shape of our lips, and creating the youthfulness in our facial expression, at the same time, taking our dental health into consideration, as a whole. I also discovered that, Dr. Chan was ambidextrous, making him extremely versatile using both hands equally well, no wonder he was able to get into the delicate area behind a tooth any which way he wished to. It was ironic that, my dental expenses with Dr. Chan only amounted to 76% of what I had paid to many of my previous «Dr. Impossible»!
All dentists receive their technical training from schools, but a caring heart is not something that could be trained, it comes from within. That’s what makes Dr. Chan and his team different from many others in the dental practice.
I want to say «THANK YOU» to you, Dr. Chan, and to your Amazing Team; together, you have made me SMILE again, this time, with CONFIDENCE.

dr. chan is the best!!!

Dr. Chan is a wonderful dentist! He is patient, kind, gentle, and extremely knowledgeable. I was impressed with how much time he took to really listen and evaluate before he came to a diagnosis and plan for treatment. He explains everything thoroughly in language you can understand, and he truly makes you feel like he is looking out for your best interests, and wants what’s best for your oral health and overall health. If you want a skilled, honest, caring dentist, I definitely recommend Dr. Chan!
