Dr. Holman Yu

Dr. Holman Yu graduated from the University of Connecticut dental school and practiced in the United States for 5 years before coming back to Canada in 2008 for family. Prior to studying at Connecticut, he attended University of Toronto and received a Bachelor of Science with distinction.

 

Dr. Yu has received multiple awards including the Pierre Fouchard Award – future leader in the community and a community service award from the University of Connecticut. While in dental school he was very involved in extracurricular activities. These included working with the Connecticut Dental Student Association, taking on vice presidency of ASDA (American Student Dental Association), becoming National Consultant on Diversity for the ADA (American Dental Association), and the chief editor of the University of Connecticut Dental Journal.

For Dr. Yu, dentistry is based on science, but artistry and heart brings it to life. Since he began practicing dentistry, Dr. Yu has kept up to date on many continuing educational classes, ensuring that his patients receive the most comprehensive and advanced dental care. Certifications in implants, Invisalign, nitrous oxide, and Cerec give patients a wider variety of treatment plans.

Dr. Yu and his wife Inez met in high school and married 8 years later in 2003. They had their first born, Aidan, back in 2006 when they were still living in Connecticut. In 2009, they had their second son, Lucian, in Toronto. Dr. Yu now spends most of his extra time keeping up with his two, very energetic, sons.
