Mr. David Chin-Shong
ORAL & MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEON
Bch MD, Bch Surg BDS, FRCS, (OMFS) MFDS
Mr. David Chin-Shong graduated Medicine in 1996 from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, and Dentistry in 2002 from University College Cork. He pursued his specialty training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in London and Liverpool, receiving his Consultant qualifications in 2006. David is Irish with an Asian father whom he credits with teaching him the importance of hard work and diligence, and an Irish mother who stressed people skills and the art of communication (and his sense of humor!).
Despite his UK specialty training in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery, David’s outstanding interest is to make a patient’s experience, especially for those that are anxious, a positive one. From taking out a tooth or removing a skin cancer – ensuring the patient understands and feels in control of the process is his top priority.
He is a proud recipient of two UK Aesthetic Dentistry awards which he credits to the importance of teamwork and he is very excited to be a part of the team at Wellington Oral Surgery.
David enjoys following his children’s sporting pursuits. Since moving to the Southern hemisphere he has been able to enjoy outdoor activities including camping, barbeques, and golf.
During the year we will be providing implant based courses for practitioners wanting to start restoring implants, and also for experienced practitioners. David will demonstrate the latest 3D techniques for planning and creating surgical stents and bio models.
