Meet your Dentist

I was born in South Korea and grew up in New Zealand from the age of 7. Queensland has been home to my family and I since 2011 when I started working as a dentist in Hervey Bay. Having gained valuable experience on the northside of Brisbane for more than 11 years, I am excited to open my practice to provide services in my local community on the southside.

Building rapport and trust with my patients is a merit of this profession I find enjoyable and rewarding. I have experienced the importance of continuity in dental care as patients become familiar with my approach to dentistry and allowing a deeper understanding of patients’ preferences and needs, enabling me to tailor services effectively.

Lightup Dental is such a beautiful, modern facility, and all the staff there are so lovely. The staff are so warm and welcoming — from the moment you walk in, you’re made to feel comfortable and cared for. It’s a genuinely lovely experience. I’ve been seeing Dr John for many years now, along with other family members, and I honestly can’t imagine trusting anyone else with our dental care. He is not only incredibly skilled, but also has such a calm, kind, and reassuring nature that makes every visit feel easy. We’re so glad to have followed him to Lightup Dental.

I haven’t visited a dentist in ten years and was feeling a little anxious …. Dr John and his team made me extremely comfortable from the moment I walked in to the practice. He was warm and reassuring throughout the entire appointment…I felt like I had been a patient for years. Thanks so much to Dr John and his team for the great job!
