Dr James Yap Thai Huah is a founding member of SHUANG DENTISTRY, a dental clinic in Yishun. He studied at the prestigious University of Otago in New Zealand and is currently a member of the Singapore Dental Association and New Zealand Dental Association. He draws upon his large wealth of experience from his previous work at community based private clinics and various hospitals across New Zealand with an interest in post graduate study in Oral Surgery. In Singapore, Dr Yap has worked both in high end, boutique clinics on Orchard Rd and HDB clinics in the heartlands, giving him a wide exposure to all aspects of dentistry. He is able to provide treatment in all aspects of dentistry such as oral surgery, wisdom tooth removal, dentures, crown & bridge work, root canal treatment, and implant dentistry. In addition to this, Dr Yap works closely with visiting specialists who are experts in their fields to give his patients the best possible result.
During his time in New Zealand, he has also been heavily involved with clinical research in the field of forensic dentistry and prosthodontics. Working in collaboration with the staff at the university, he has published and presented his findings at various symposiums and conferences. Dr Yap has also offered his time to volunteer in Dental Projects in the Asia-Pacific region, including Singapore, New Zealand and Rarotonga (islands of the South Pacific).
Dr Yap is a firm believer in professional continuing education and routinely attends lectures, workshops and courses to further develop his clinical skills so that he can provide the very best care to his patients. He practices preventive dentistry and regularly engages his patients in education to increase their dental awareness. Most importantly, he strives to provide a gentle, pain free experience and gains tremendous satisfaction in building rapport and relationships with all his patients.
In his free time, he enjoys sitting down with a good book, tinkering with his various projects and (tries) to keep a fit and active lifestyle.
