Brighter Smiles, One Appointment at a Time
At WPH Dental, we believe in transforming the dental experience into one that is not only necessary but also pleasant. Each patient deserves to understand the condition of their teeth and the steps needed to maintain their function and appearance. By empowering patients with knowledge about their oral health, our team ensures that they understand their treatment options and the reasons behind them. Our goal is to redefine the standard of dental care and inspire confidence in all our patients.
Our dentists Dr Thomas Tran, Dr Suzanne Chin and Dr Sonya Shi approach each interaction with empathy and professionalism, adopting personalised techniques to prioritise patient comfort. From sharing x-rays and answering questions to tailoring treatments to individual needs, we go above and beyond to ensure a positive experience. We recognise the importance of building trust, particularly during sensitive procedures like administering local anaesthesia. This is why we strive to make each dental visit a pleasant and informative experience.
