Dr. Royce Ing | Dentist
Dr. Royce Ing has had firsthand experience in the life-changing impacts of dentistry. During adolescence, his congenitally missing lateral incisors led to difficulties eating, speaking and even feeling comfortable enough to smile. These teeth were later replaced using dental implants, which eliminated these struggles and inspired him to pursue a career in dentistry himself.

Dr. Ing obtained his BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Sciences from Toronto Metropolitan University, where he was granted the Undergraduate Research Opportunities award for his research in microbiology. He then graduated with honours from the University of Toronto, Faculty of Dentistry, where he also led their recreational Dentistry Dragon Boat team "Plak Attack" as team captain. Dr. Ing completed a postgraduate residency in Buffalo, NY, as part of the NYU Langone Hospitals Advanced Education in General Dentistry program.
