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.

I’ve been seeing Dr John for years now and it’s wonderful to see him establish his own practice. I simply don’t want anyone else looking after my teeth, he’s the best. A lifetime of dental anxiety is gone because of Dr John’s manner, patience, kindness and skill.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Light Up Dental. John is fantastic - really professional, friendly, and does excellent work at a very fair price. The practice itself is stylish, welcoming, and fitted out with the latest dental technology, which makes the whole experience feel modern and comfortable. I’ve already recommended Light Up Dental to friends, and they’re now patients too. Highly recommend!

I had my first teeth whitening done at LightUp Dental, and I’m already seeing great results by week 2! It’s really boosted my confidence in my big smile. Dr. John is very experienced, kind, and caring. I trust him completely with my dental care. The clinic itself is modern and cozy, with friendly staff and easy parking. I really appreciate the excellent service and won’t be looking for another dentist again. Highly recommend!
