Paramount Dental Center

I am very thankful for being a dentist. I feel privileged to be given the opportunity to build relationships, educate the community, and grow as a person each day in my profession. Education and Continuing Education For my dental education, I earned my DDS from the University of Washington School of Dentistry. I completed my dental education with knowledge of the most advanced technologies and methods in dentistry. Because my profession changes constantly and being a true professional mean...Read Mores continued learning and growth, I must always stay aware of emerging dental advancements. As a part of my continuing education, I regularly participate in educational courses and clubs to improve and grow my skills. I am an alumnus of the Kois Center for Advanced Dental Education, as well as the Esthetic Professionals Comprehensive Dentistry Study Club. In the Practice I love doing dentistry, plain and simple. I feel that I am playing rather than working when I am taking care of teeth. The first time you walk in our door, you will feel the friendliness of the people in the practice, and you will always feel welcome. My team gives me an opportunity to have a fantastic time being a dentist day in and day out. Our patients show their commitment to us by coming in year after year, and we are committed to always providing the highest quality services for them. Family Life Although I was born in Manila, Philippines, I have lived in the Seattle area for most of my life, and I love it! I have two children named Caleb and Leah, who keep me busy and active. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching news or sports, and reading. I also enjoy cycling, and have completed the Seattle to Portland bike ride three times! Read Less

I received advanced surgical training to become a skilled implantologist in the placement of implants, bone grafting, sinus augmentations, esthetic soft tissue management and the restoration of implants from both the single tooth to full mouth rehabilitation. WHY I LOVE DENTISTRY Growing up, I have always had an interest in healthcare, especially dentistry. It has allowed me to exercise my passion as a clinician and to improve the oral health of my patients. In addition, dentistry has given me the chance to make it possible for patients who have not smiled in a long time to lay a big and healthy beam on the world and be seen as they really are. It can change people’s lives in many, many ways - most of which I am sure I will never know. But, occasionally, a dentist will get a heartfelt `thank you` that makes it all worth it. I feel very privileged to be able to serve my community and to deliver quality care especially in the area of dental implantology. FAMILY I was born in Jakarta, Indonesia and I have lived in the Seattle area for most of my life. Despite my wonderful experience living in CA and NY during my residency and fellowship programs, I am still a loyal Washingtonian! In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family & friends and being active. Read Less

Why I Love Dentistry As I explored the field of dentistry as a possible career path in undergrad, I found dentistry is a perfect marriage of my interests; science, artistry and relationship. I love working with my hands to create something beautiful that simultaneously improves my patient’s overall health. It is challenging, but greatly rewarding. Needless to say, I’m glad to have chosen dentistry as career. Family and Fun I grew up in Winthrop, Washington, but moved to Seattle to go to college and have been in the area ever since.
