Summary
I am a recent dental graduate passionate about contributing to the oral health and well-being of Albertan communities. My approach to dentistry is rooted in patient-centered, compassionate care, with a strong focus on building long-term relationships and fostering a welcoming, family-oriented environment within the practice.
I am enthusiastic about all aspects of dentistry, with particular interests in endodontics, oral surgery, and pediatric care. I have gained hands-on experience performing molar endodontics using rotary instrumentation, surgical extractions, pediatric procedures with nitrous oxide sedation, and full coverage crown and bridge restorations. In addition, I have been trained in implant restorations, supported by comprehensive didactic education in implantology.
Fluent in both Mandarin and Cantonese, I am well-positioned to effectively communicate with and serve a diverse patient population. I am excited to bring my clinical skills to a collaborative private practice setting, while continuing to expand my knowledge and expertise in the field.
