Altadore Dental

I got my passion and interest for dentistry early on in my life.

While I was in high school, I had a snowboarding accident where I broke one of my front teeth in half that required an emergency root canal. Running around the city on Sunday evening to find a dentist who could get me out of pain made me think about what a good dentist and dental care can do for a person. Coming from a Korean immigrant family whose parents owned a small business with no dental insurance also gave me a perspective in equity of dental care as well. With these interests while growing up on the North shore of Vancouver, I went on and pursued my degree in dental medicine from Tufts School of Dental Medicine (TUSDM) in Boston, MA.

Since graduating in 2010 from TUSDM, I have been practicing dentistry in different parts of Calgary. While I was working as an associate in different practices, I started to think about how I would practice dentistry differently if I was to own a practice. Altadore Dental is a culmination of all the things that I have been thinking about, focusing on patient education and experience, equity in access to care, and the best clinical care that I can provide.

I have been constantly taking further training to keep up to date with the newest technologies and knowledge in the field. My recent focus on continuing education has been on understanding how teeth work with each other (bite) and also how oral health is interconnected with systemic health through extensive training at Kois Center in Seattle WA with world renowned Dr. John Kois.

I am happily married to my lovely wife, Hwanhee, and we have three boys at home that keep us busy and active in one way or another. It would be my privilege to see you as a patient in my practice if you choose us as a dental care provider. Thank you.
