Message from Smile Well Dental

Smile Well Dental team is very happy to introduce ourselves to patients in Greater Vancouver Area. We have provided comprehensive treatments from prevention to full-mouth rehabilitation in a professional and patient-oriented manner.

Our Principal Doctor

Dr. Sangmin Shin has a variety of work and educational experience. He was born in Busan, South Korea, and studied Physics at Seoul National University, the top university in the country, and received a degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D), and afterward led a research team at Samsung Electronics. As a physicist and an engineer, he acquired a high level of scientific knowledge which, in turn, supplemented his knowledge and professionalism for his new degree in dentistry (DDS, Doctor of Dental Surgery) from the Seoul National University.

Thanks to his unique double-degree background, he is able to provide service to his patients in an evidence-based and scientifically-proven manner. Furthermore, he has dedicated his energy to more predictable, reproducible, and comfortable treatment outcomes for his patients.

The highlighted acumen of his diagnosis of patients is his in-depth understanding of oral health in connection with systemic health. He always gives medical attention to patients and relates their oral problems with their systemic health and daily habits, and finally builds up a thorough treatment plan for patients in a very appropriate way. His approach should be highlighted, especially for patients who would need extensive implant surgery and full mouth rehabilitation, which are those types of therapy Dr. Shin is very competent.

Dr. Shin has been doing thousands of implants from this perspective. Thus, he recognizes all variables necessary for success in implants and his patients are very happy with his service and care. Now, he is providing a relaxing and anxiety-free environment during treatment with IV sedation which has been certified by the BC College of Oral Health Professionals. He is also a clinical advisor of HiOssen Implant Canada. He is always endeavoring to find a breakthrough in dentistry to bring more comfort and less invasive therapy to patients, collaborating with related industries and some renowned universities.

In addition, Dr. Shin graciously shares his expertise by volunteering with those people who are less fortunate. He visits the Philippines once every year to provide free dental care. He recognizes his duty to repay global society for providing him with many opportunities: receiving higher education, and developing his professional reputation in multiple countries.
He is continuously getting state-of-the-art skills and knowledge in all phases of dentistry to provide the best care for patients. Dr. Shin is a member of the Canadian Dental Association and an organizer of the Maple Study Club, where his BC colleagues discuss in-depth knowledge and feasibility of comprehensive periodontics, prosthodontics, implantology, and orthodontics treatments.
