Howard sat down in Singapore at the dental office of Dr. Weng Cheu Yue and his wife Louisa Yue of DP Dental.
Weng Cheu Yue:
Dr Yue Weng Cheu is the Clinical Director of DP Dental. The focus of his dental team is to provide comprehensive family care, emphasizing on patient comfort as well as high standard in delivery of advanced dental care and services.
He believes that all patients deserve the latest in management of oral health with minimal intervention and sustainable outcomes. It should be done with proper consideration to total body system. He spares no effort and resources in acquiring the technology and knowledge. He strives to make that accessible in a safe and professional environment for the best interest of the patients.
Quoting his mentor, Clayton Chan, DDS
"I remain a "General Dentist', purposely not specializing in any particular area of dentistry, which would limit my scope of care and ability to treat my patients comprehensively."
With great emphasis on continuing professional education, Dr Yue has relentlessly pursued personal growth through his post graduate studies.
Louisa Yue:
Louisa Lee is a serial entrepreneur whose passion for learning and teaching has led her to where she is today.
She read English, Literature, and Philosophy in university, graduating with a Masters in Linguistics from UCL and became an educator after that in a top Girls’ school in Singapore. She started and has since sold two other businesses while joining her husband Dr Yue Weng Cheu to purchase and run DP Dental in 2006. What started as a small practice with one dental chair has since grown to a six-chair practice with close to 30 employees. Together, they have created a unique, family-run, boutique practice. Instead of spreading resources and launching clinics around Singapore for reach, they opted to concentrate their talents and technology, creating a fully integrated practice, complete with some of the most progressive equipment and knowledge in dentistry.
As the Managing Director of DP Dental, Louisa strongly believes in honest dentistry with a heart and that businesses should run accordingly. The Mandarin name for the practice诚芯牙科, translates this perfectly. Strong ethics and values shape and define her personality and work culture as the practice only hires those who have a great attitude and an open mind for learning. Louisa travels the world with her husband seeking more knowledge on cutting-edge procedures and equipment as well as ways to remain completely modern and progressive in Singapore.
She and Dr Yue are adamant that they are the early adopters in technology, be it through machinery or practice. This applies to management ideologies too. She believes that being a congruent entrepreneur is the key and hence they are progressive in all aspects of the business. In addition to technology, Louisa’s other main focus is building a holistic practice similar to Functional Medicine or Traditional Chinese Medicine, where the root cause is looked at, rather than just the aesthetic.
She is currently also Director of Dental ED South East Asia, providing cutting-edge, high quality education for dentists in the region.
A strong supporter of philanthropy and CSR, she sits on the advisory board of Imagine Cambodia Foundation to raise funds for the home housing orphans or children from disadvantaged background.
