Mins words: My Dental Background

I graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery with Honours from Sydney University in 2000. I moved to Australia to start my family after meeting my former husband while I was doing further dental study in Japan. I had just been offered a sponsorship from the Japanese government to complete a PhD in prosthodontics, but I’m glad I turned it down as I have loved every bit of my journey since!

After working in Inverell and the Central Coast, I moved to Tamworth and bought Dr Wong's share of Marius St Family Dental in 2002. The other partners retired over the years and we have been busy renovating and improving the practice since 2009. 

From the first year after I graduated almost 25 years ago, I have been dedicated to mastering cosmetic dentistry and smile design, driven by a passion for creating natural, beautiful smiles. One of my favorite techniques is using white fillings to build and reshape teeth, commonly known as composite veneers. What I love most about it is that my patients get the result on the same day, at an affordable price. Many Tamworth patients can’t afford porcelain veneers but deserve to have their dream smile - that's why I have spent so much time perfecting composite. Of course, all cosmetic dentists love to do high-end porcelain treatment, but I do admit that bringing top-end dentistry to your everyday person is what makes my career so satisfying. Despite having completed hundreds of cases, I still find immense joy in seeing the transformative impact these treatments have on my patients' confidence and happiness.

I further continued my studies in occlusion, the science of how to building up the teeth so that they come together properly. This restores your smile and chewing function. My training then continued into dental implants, starting with replacing one tooth at a time to now replacing all missing teeth predictably.

Outside of Work

Outside of work I enjoy ballroom dancing, basketball and table tennis. I have previously won the regional waltz dance competition. Also, from primary school through to University, I was the captain of the basketball team. Nowadays, I am interested in living a healthy life. I enjoy a lot of my spare time on cattle farms just outside of Tamworth and can really appreciate taking life a bit slower.
