Why Jaw and Face Surgery?
As a dental student, Dr. Loo became interested in how the bones of the face shape both how we function and how we look. Over more than a decade in the surgical units of Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong and Khoo Teck Puat and Tan Tock Seng Hospitals in Singapore, he honed his expertise in facial re-contouring, complex jaw and facial surgery, and dental implant rehabilitation.
Dr. Loo offers his patients clarity from the first consultation, focusing on what matters most: an accurate diagnosis, a clear treatment plan, careful 3D planning so there are no surprises, and honest guidance on recovery time.
