For him, the most fulfilling part of his work is being able to coordinate patients’ rehabilitation, often in collaboration with other specialists not only to restore patients’ function and smile but also their confidence and self-esteem. “It can be a very emotional journey for patients ending with tears of happiness!”

Dr Tan enjoys educating others about prosthodontics. “I am committed to generating, disseminating and preserving knowledge.” In addition to working at Blacktown Specialist Dental Care, he remains active in academic teaching at the University of Sydney.
