Dr. Aldwin Chan, DMD
My dental philosophy: I don’t harp. I’ll give best practices and work with you on the best possible options for your teeth. In the end, I believe you are the one who decides what is good for your own health. Helping you achieve good oral care through my experience and education is my commitment to you.
Favourite food: Sous vide cooking. Ask me about this!
What makes me smile: Cooking for my wife, my family and my friends.

I then proceeded to do a general practice residency at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto where I refined my skills in oral surgery and periodontic procedures.
