A profile
A considered hand, patiently trained.
Trained at the University of Hong Kong. In practice in Singapore since 2008, and at Camden Medical Centre on Orchard Boulevard for most of the years since.
Dr Chang Fu Shi practises general dentistry with a particular weighting towards implants, restorative work, and aesthetics. Consultations run a full hour. Complex cases are planned and staged in writing before any treatment begins.
She graduated from the University of Hong Kong in 2007 with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery, and an Oral-B Prize for the best undergraduate community health project. The following year she began practising in Singapore, at Pacific Healthcare Specialist Centre. Since then she has worked principally from the seventeenth floor of Camden Medical Centre, on Orchard Boulevard.
She is on the Associate Fellowship track of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, a programme in implant surgery and prosthetics measured in years. At the chair her focus falls on three areas: implants, restorative care, and aesthetic treatment.
She writes occasionally on dentistry. One piece examines the cumulative wear that hard food and night-time clenching inflict on enamel across a working life. Another traces the relationship between obstructive sleep apnoea, the airway, and the bite.
Away from the clinic she swims, practises yoga, and sits silent vipassana retreats.
Dentistry runs in her family, though she prefers her own work to speak first.
The treatment she takes on is intended to last decades, and she plans it on that basis from the first appointment.
