Summary

A dedicated dentist with the highest level of passion and enthusiasm in my work. Having mainly worked in private sector, I can confirm my proficiency in a wide range of dental procedure including restorative, endodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics, oral surgery etc. with a keen interest in aesthetic dentistry.

Being multilingual with a gentle and calm chairside manner has served me well in my dental career so far, with large number of patients choosing to return exclusively to me for their dental treatments due to the trust and confidence we’ve built in their oral care journey.

My active preparedness, attention to detail and perfectionist approach towards my work is well known to my dental colleagues and team members alike.

I strongly believe in continuously pursing dental education to further enhance professional development in order to provide the highest quality care to my patient. The CPD courses I have completed so far and the resulting growth in my skillset and hunger in seeking more is a testament to this.
