I chose to continue my education in dentistry as a Prosthodontist after dental school because I felt that more understanding was needed to treat in a more comprehensive manner for oral health instead of just drill and fill. I love what I do because of the instant gratification of making physical improvements of the patients dental health, however, the emotional and psychological aspects are even more powerful. When my patients smile with confidence and give me a hug, it really makes my day and know that I chose the right profession. Peter S. Bae, DDS
