Dr. Royce then pursued his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) at the University of British Columbia and graduated with distinction. His love for the people and the lifestyle of Vancouver made him decide to stay and serve the community he grew up in.

During his training at UBC dentistry, Royce joined and became an active member of the Tucker Gold Study Club to further refine his clinical skills and knowledge. Royce is also passionate about community service and has volunteered in various expedition trips bringing him to St. Elizabeth’s Parish, Jamaica and Bella Bella aboriginal reserve in Northern BC. He has also volunteered with both Richmond General Hospital and the Chinese Canadian Dental Society of British Columbia (CCDSBC) and helped numerous patients improve their oral health.

Royce seeks to provide optimal dental care for all his patients in a gentle and friendly manner. He believes that spending an extra few moments communicating and understanding each patient’s needs and concerns can greatly improve the treatment outcome and satisfaction. Royce practices all disciplines of general dentistry, including fillings, root canal therapy, crowns/bridges, veneers, teeth whitening, Invisalign, and extractions. Royce is fluent in both English and Mandarin Chinese.

To date, Royce is always actively advancing his skills and knowledge by participating in various continuing education (CE) programs and study clubs. He has completed advanced courses in endodontics, advanced direct composite restorations, and minimally invasive extractions.

Outside of work, Royce enjoys photography, travelling, snowboarding, and ultimate Frisbee, which he used to play on the Dentistry intramural team.
