BDS (Singapore),
Dr Shannon Chia is a female who speaks Cantonese, Hokkien and Mandarin (as well as English).
Dr Shannon graduated from the National University of Singapore with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery in 2004. She was in government service for four years. She served the School Dental Service, before being accepted by the Singapore Armed Forces as a dental officer. She was then invited by the Singhealth polyclinics to be overall in charge of the dental officers. Dr Shannon transitioned to private practice seeking greater opportunities to develop her interests in paediatrics and orthodontics. She completed the Comprehensive Orthodontic Programme and obtained her certification in 2008.
Training in Invisalign, the market leader in invisible aligner solutions, was a natural progression and in the year 2012, Dr Shannon was awarded Best Newcomer by Invisalign. She is truly fascinated by the beauty and intelligence of Invisalign technology and has even undergone the treatment herself so that she can better relate to her patients. She believes every person should have smiles he or she can confidently show off, and is particularly good at offering conservative, non-invasive approaches like teeth whitening and direct no-drill veneers. Most of all, she puts in her best efforts in ensuring her young patients look forward to dental visits and wants never ever again to hear people say they have dental phobia because they had bad experiences as children.
