Dr. Yassin is one of not too many dental surgeons that are dual trained in both Periodontics and Oral Surgery. His full-time practice at Light Dental Studios is limited to Dental Implants, Esthetics and Regenerative Periodontics (Gum Surgeries) and Oral/Dental Surgery. Influenced by his father as a doctor and his older sister as a dentist; Dr. Yassin knew that he wanted to be a dental surgeon when he was 14 and worked hard to achieve his goal! He graduated from Dental school in 2001 top 5 in his class where he was on the dean’s list for his outstanding academic performance.
