Dr. Sam Huang
Dentist
Dr. Sam Huang, known as Dr. Sam by many patients, graduated from the University of Manitoba in 2013. After graduating, Dr. Huang worked in northern Manitoba before moving to Stettler, AB to run his first dental practice. During the years practicing in a rural community, Dr. Huang performed and perfected his skills in dental surgeries, challenging restorative dentistry cases (large fillings and crowns/bridges), root canals, dentures and laser dentistry. In 2016, Dr. Sam relocated to Edmonton with his wife and their cat and bunny, to be closer to family, and took over the 34 Ave Dental Clinic.
Dr. Huang is fluent in both English and Mandarin and has experience working with all ages. He is known for his gentleness and reassuring manner that minimizes fear and anxiety and is committed to providing the best possible dentistry for his patients. Dr. Huang has continually improved his knowledge and skills through education in orthodontics, laser dentistry, oral and nitrous sedation, complex extractions, and cosmetic dentistry. He is also interested and experienced in orthodontic procedures (traditional wire braces and Invisalign® clear braces) and restorative implants.
Dr. Huang is well involved in the community as a Rotary Club member and, in his spare time, enjoys spending time with his wife and their baby boy, taking road trips to the mountains, swimming and basketball.
