Dr Desmond HW Cheong is a male General Dentist who speaks Cantonese, Hokkien, Malay and Mandarin (as well as English).
Born and bred in the culturally rich island of Penang in the north of West Malaysia, Desmond grew up wanting to serve with mission aids in underdeveloped communities. He saw dentistry as a tool he could use to benefit society and came to study at the University of Otago, graduating in 2017 with a Bachelor’s in Dental Surgery. He has since learned a lot not only about helping people to have healthier smiles but also about giving people a reason to smile. Having completed his primary exam with the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons in 2019, he is constantly improving his dental skills both academically and clinically.
Desmond strives to provide a safe place where you would feel comfortable to achieve the dental health you want, from wherever you are at. Desmond enjoys providing whole-person care to enable good physical, functional, and psychosocial outcomes. His areas of interest include restoring smiles, saving teeth, decay prevention, and patient education. With the wide variety of technology and collegial network at My Dentist, he is proud to be able to provide quality dental care for his patients.
