Having been practicing dentistry for over two decades, Dr. Zhang has treated tens of thousands of patients in China, Canada, and the United States. She has acquired a very broad base of expertise in every specialty, including oral surgery, periodontics, orthodontics, implants, endodontics, cosmetic dentistry, and more.

Taking dentistry to a new level, Dr. Zhang is committed to continuously improving her knowledge and clinical skills; and also in keeping up with the most advanced dental techniques and technology through continuing education.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy. 

Moving forward, Dr. Zhang sees her practice continuing to do more community work with her current three offices. She wants to improve her skills and become a better dentist. She also wants to implement her philosophy in her practices so that she can help more people.
