On the other hand, he is also focusing on less invasive treatments on tooth cavities and gum diseases, and is researching some technological innovations in this field. Currently he collaborates with KAIST, the top engineering university in South Korea, to develop several dental devices which give more comfort and less pain to patients during treatments.

In addition, Dr. Shin graciously shares his expertise by volunteering to those people who are less fortunate. He visits the Philippines once every year to provide a free dental care. He recognizes his duty to repay the global society for providing him with many opportunities: receiving higher education, and developing his professional reputation in multiple countries.

Dr. Shin is a member of the Canadian Dental Association and an organizer of Maple Study Club, where his BC colleagues discuss in-depth knowledge and feasibility of comprehensive periodontics, prosthodontics, implantology, and orthodontics treatments. He is also continuously taking education in all phases of dentistry.

Dr. Shin lives in Lynn Valley, North Vancouver with his wife, Jasmine, and their three sons. Jasmine was a medical doctor in Korea and is now a medical esthetician in Canada.
