What Dr An loves about dentistry?

I love dentistry because it gives me the opportunity to help patients better understand their oral health and work with them to create positive dental experiences. Having worked with many anxious and elderly patients, I truly feel privileged to be able to assist in restoring their smiles and improving their comfort. The most rewarding part of the job for me is seeing the difference we can make in a patient’s confidence and well-being.
