Yin: I was born and raised in Taiwan and moved to Seattle after high school. Love the northwest and graduated with Husky pride. Being a hygienist gives me the opportunity to help people keep their mouths healthy.Besides trying out different restaurants in search of good happy hour food, I enjoy reading, exercising and hiking during my free time.
Lillias: I have had the pleasure of working in different aspects of the dental field from paper work to the oral cavity. I started dental assisting in 2005 and have since expanded my dental knowledge helping in the front office and now am a certified dental hygienist. I enjoy helping patients feel comfortable and at ease during procedures, and helping them understand many aspects of oral health. I have worked at Bellevue Wellness Dental since 2013 and love being part of a wonderful team. In my free time I enjoy hiking, painting and traveling.
Jackie: I enjoy working out at the gym, hanging out in the sunshine, watching sports, playing soccer, listening to music, trying different beauty products and most of all spending time with my daughter. My favorite part of dentistry is assisting with orthodontics because the journey from start to finish is so rewarding.
Kayla: I really love animals and have a full house of furry friends. I also enjoy the great outdoors. A lot of my life and job experience has involved children and this is something that has stayed with me in dentistry. Previously, I worked in pediatric dentistry before wanting to be a part of treating the whole family. I may eventually transition into nursing, but will continue to stay in the field of healthcare which I have a great passion for.
I was born and raised a Huskies, Mariners, Sonics and Seahawks fan across the water in Seattle. Growing up in the Northwest I grew fond of the great outdoors and enjoy camping, hiking, basketball, ping-pong, snowboarding and raising my two dogs, Wookiee and Kongsoon with my loving wife. I received my doctorate from New York University College of Dentistry and my bachelor's degree in biology from UC Berkeley. My love for dentistry led me to participate in being an annual provider for the United Way's Community Resource Exchange dental mobile van for the homeless population, Smiling Faces Going Places (a dental van providing dentistry to underprivileged children),Oral cancer walk fundraisers raising awareness and doing screenings for oral cancer, community dental clinic volunteer in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco and providing services to the community in various King County Public Health Dental Clinics around the region. Prior to returning to the great Northwest I had the opportunity to treat the needs and desires of my patients in Palm Desert, CA doing significant smile makeovers and smile reconstructions
One of the areas that I love are treating those patients with dental fears. Having received professional training, specifically in sedation (D.O.C.S. certification), I am able to confidently give these anxious patients excellent oral care in a calming safe environment. I also love gadgets as dental science is advancing all the time which allows me to employ the newest technology and techniques to provide the most up-to-date care for my patients. Advancements in the dental field is one of my interests including consulting for the University of Washington research team for a new dental technology. I am versed in many phases of dentistry including certifications in MIT (minimally invasive technique) soft and hard tissue grafting, tissue laser dentistry (by the World Laser Institute and Academy of Laser Dentistry), modern Orthodontics (AOS lifetime member), gummy smile treatment, oral surgery, Invisalign Preferred Provider, botox facial therapy, dental implants and sleep apnea treatment (American Sleep Dentistry). I have a penchant for continuous learning and am constantly going to advanced courses to better my dental treatment. I have been awarded as an implantologist Fellow by the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and also was awarded Fellow and Master by International Academy of Dental Implants. Most importantly, I believe in giving ethical and honest treatment to all of my patients.
