Meet the Dentist

 

Lina Yu, DMD

After 6+ years of experience in corporate dentistry, Dr. Yu developed the concept of The Ivory Dental. Her vision as an office where, not only she would love to treat patients, but a place she would love to be a patient.

Although her family has roots in New York, she considers herself a life-long Floridian. And, aside from her time in Chicago earning her doctorate of dental medicine, Dr. Yu has lived, studied, and practiced dentistry exclusively in Central Florida.

Dr. Yu is a UCF alumni, with a Master’s of Biomedical Science from Barry University. She earned her Doctorate of Dental Medicine from Midwestern University in Chicago, Illinois.

When she’s not treating patients, you can find her playing with her daughter and obsessing over her two Shiba Inu puppies.

 

Philosophy of Care

Through her educational, volunteering, and professional experiences - Dr. Yu developed her philosophy of care around individualized patient treatment. The patient is more than a set of x-rays and a chart, and she makes a point to understand each patient’s preferences and concerns.

Dr. Yu will recommend the most minimally invasive procedures where possible, preferring long-term oral health through patient education and support.

The Ivory Dental is her own private practice, which lets her spend the time to listen to each individual patient. Her philosophy of care is at the heart of the practice, from the patient comfort built right into the walls of the office, to the selection of her dental equipment, and training of our staff.
