Dr Tan comments that his biggest satisfactions come from offering his patients a beautiful smile and a brighter future through orthodontics
Dr Tan grew up in Malaysia and arrived in Australia 1995 to study his final years of high school. He went on to study Dentistry at Adelaide University. Following his graduation Dr Tan returned to Malaysia for three years to practice general dentistry.
He then returned to Australia once again and moved to Queensland to study the specialty field of Orthodontics at the University of Queensland. On completion of this degree, he then established his own practice in Sunnybank where he has been practicing for more than ten years.
Dr Tan is married to Wendy who is also a dentist. Wendy at times practices general dentistry from the Sunnybank practice but mainly works at the hospital for Queensland Health. They have 2 daughters Shania and Tiana. Dr Tan is an avid soccer fan supporting Chelsea in the English premier league and the Brisbane Lions of the AFL.
Dr Tan often comments that the first reaction of the patient immediately after the removal of braces is one of the most gratifying experiences an orthodontist could have, often exclaiming “oh my God, I can’t stop smiling now” and ”I can’t believe it, I have a beautiful smile”.
