I have been seeing Dr. Archie Tang at Concept Dentistry for years, and I truly can’t say enough good things about him. I have always struggled with a fear of dentists, but Dr. Tang is incredibly considerate, patient, and understanding. He takes the time to explain everything and makes sure I feel comfortable throughout each visit. I also really appreciate how mindful he has been about working within my budget. He never pressures me and always helps me prioritize treatment in a way that feels manageable. Dr. Tang is pleasant, kind, and very knowledgeable. The clinic uses up-to-date technology and equipment, and his work is excellent. I’m so grateful to have found a dentist I trust completely. Highly recommend!

I want to warn other patients about my extremely negative experience at Concept Dentistry SE Calgary with Dr. Archie Tang. My husband and I were looking for a dental clinic for long-term care and were planning to transfer all of our treatment there (we have very good insurance coverage). When booking the appointment, my husband clearly explained that I had been experiencing pain for more than 12 days after a root canal retreatment, and that I also had another tooth with decay and strong sensitivity to hot and cold that required prompt treatment. Despite the fact that I was in pain, the earliest appointment offered was about a week later. Before the visit, I was required to complete a lengthy online form requesting a large amount of personal information. On the day of the appointment, we arrived on time but had to wait 1 hour and 10 minutes to see the doctor. When scheduling, the receptionist specifically assured us that a full hour had been reserved for me — enough time for a new patient exam and treatment of the problematic tooth during the same visit. When Dr. Archie Tang finally saw me, X-rays were taken along with numerous photographs. After a prolonged examination, he stated that this was a “complex case” and asked me to return another day for treatment — even though I came in with active pain. When we reminded him that we had been told treatment would be provided during this appointment, he refused to proceed, saying he was “not comfortable.” In reality, I waited over a week for the appointment and more than an hour in the clinic, yet I received no treatment at all. During our waiting time, the doctor was seeing several other patients. What is most concerning is that I later visited another dental clinic, where the same tooth was treated in 15 minutes without any complications. The issue turned out to be a small cavity near the gum line causing sensitivity. There was no “complex case.” This raises serious concerns about the accuracy of the clinical assessment and the overall professional approach. A patient seeking help for acute dental pain should not be sent away without treatment after such a long wait. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this clinic. If you are looking for timely and patient-focused care, you may want to consider this carefully before booking an appointment here.

Dr. Tang and his team do an exceptional job ensuring that my family’s and my dental health are well cared for. Dr. Tang noticed my inflamed TMJ and other dental issues that I had been ignoring for far too long, and he explained the treatment plans clearly and thoroughly. From reception to the dental assistants and hygienists, the entire team is warm, professional, and highly skilled. My dental hygienist (as well as the others), Selina, has gentle hands and is very mindful of pressure, carefully avoiding unnecessary irritation to my gums. What I appreciate most is how the team truly listens, takes the time to discuss treatment options, and makes you feel informed and comfortable throughout the process. I highly recommend this clinic.

I highly recommend this dental office. We have been patients for several years now and every visit has been wonderful. Our needs have been met and they have taken great care of our teeth. Kim, the hygienist, is wonderful. I am always nervous about my teeth cleanings and she was very gentle without causing any discomfort or pain. Dr Gina, Dr Park and Archie are superb and know how to deal with patients with anxiety over dental visits. Tricia the receptionist is always super welcoming and lovely to talk to. Thank you for such excellent care of my families dental health!

I am deeply grateful to have found Concept Dentistry during one of the most emotionally overwhelming periods of my life. I came in feeling distressed and confused after a difficult dental experience at another clinic, where my bite and symptoms worsened and left me feeling lost and anxious. I didn’t know what was happening to my teeth or who I could trust anymore. I found Dr. Tang through recommendations from people in the Calgary community online, and I am so thankful I followed that advice. Dr. Tang was incredibly kind, patient, and honest. He spent over an hour carefully listening to my story, examining my condition, and explaining things clearly without rushing or dismissing my concerns. For the first time in a long while, I felt truly heard and taken seriously, which alone brought enormous relief. What truly touched me was his integrity and compassion. Despite spending a significant amount of time with me, he did not charge for the consultation and simply said, “I didn’t really do much.” That humility and sincerity meant more to me than words can express. He also took the time to prepare a thoughtful referral letter to support my next steps, which showed genuine care for my well-being rather than any financial motivation. The front desk team was equally wonderful — gentle, patient, and supportive. From the moment I walked in, I felt respected and cared for, not rushed or brushed aside. Dentistry is a profession that requires not only technical skill, but also responsibility and humanity. When you are working on someone’s body, especially when they are vulnerable, sincerity and care truly matter. I am deeply grateful that this city has a clinic like Concept Dentistry, and doctors like Dr. Tang. If you are feeling lost, anxious, or overwhelmed with dental concerns, I wholeheartedly recommend Concept Dentistry. Thank you for being there when I needed it most.
