Dr. Elston Wong hails from Ottawa, but has taken the scenic route to Barrie. His undergrad years were spent at The University of Western Ontario in London (chemistry and biochemistry), and his dental degree was completed at The University of Toronto. After graduation in 1999, he trekked off to Boston for a year-long hospital-based general practice residency (GPR) at Tufts University. He practiced in a general dental office in Saint John, New Brunswick before finally arriving in Barrie in 2002. In 2015, Dr. Wong completed the curriculum at the Kois Center in Seattle in order to better handle the more complex reconstructive problems faced by general dentists, and to this day thinks it’s the best professional decision he ever made. Since then, continuing education has been a mainstay of the practice with the attitude that “things can always be made better.” Dr. Wong passed the mentor examination process at the Kois Center and as of 2018, serves as a mentor to incoming students.
