Meet Dr. Tao Zeng
On Being a Dentist
My patients become my good friends. They are part of our community, and I enjoy seeing them around the area, and when they come to me for their dental care. I love that they trust me to provide gentle dental care for them, improving their dental health, overall wellbeing, and their smiles, too.
As a dentist, I am passionate about helping people develop optimal oral health, both functionally and aesthetically. When I use my knowledge and skills to relieve pain, restore the ability to comfortably chew, and develop a healthy and beautiful smile, I feel fulfilled. My profession means I get to make positive changes to people who are my friends. ~ Dr. Tao Zeng
