My Dental Philosophy
For me, dentistry isn’t just about the teeth. It has everything to do with our entire body. A beautiful and healthy smile not only projects a better image of yourself but also improves your self-esteem and mental health, and reduces the risk of life-threatening conditions such as heart disease and stroke, to say the least. I am also a firm believer in prevention and early treatment. Developing good oral habits as a child is crucial in preventing oral diseases throughout life, and this will allow anyone to attain a beautiful and healthy smile when they grow up.
What Makes Me Smile
- Seeing smiles on my kids' faces.
- When I am about to eat delicious food paired with a good quality adult beverage.
- Seeing or hearing about the story of rescued animals living a wonderful life in a new, loving home.
- Being appreciated for the little things I've done for other people.
Favourite Food
It would be so hard to pick just one. I love food so much. I love trying out different ethnic foods, especially when they are homemade.
What I Do When I Am Not Caring For Your Teeth
Outside dentistry, most of my time is spent with my family. My two little kids keep me very busy. If there is any time left at the end of the day, I usually spend it researching recipes, the latest home décor trends, and home organization ideas. I am very much a homebody, but I also love travelling around the world whenever I have the chance.
Dr. Yoo’s investment in airway assessments, orthopedics, and TMD treatment means patients at Ultima Dental Wellness benefit from a level of whole-body clinical thinking that goes well beyond what most general practices offer. Whether she is helping a child establish healthy habits that will last a lifetime or guiding an adult through a comprehensive treatment plan, Dr. Yoo brings the same genuine care, thorough preparation, and warmth to every appointment. She looks forward to seeing you at Ultima Dental Wellness.
