Dr. Vivek Singh DDS, MS
Dr. Vivek Singh considers himself a practitioner of the art of dentistry. He believes that dentistry is more than just a scientific pursuit, and it requires aesthetic perception, intuition and intricate workmanship. He is committed to blending art and science to create healthy smiles that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. Because of his interest in painting and sculpture and because he enjoys working with his hands, he finds dentistry to be a natural fit for him. He enjoys the meditative state that intense esthetic designing involves and is comfortable at evaluating shape and design with light and color.
While dentistry definitely requires fine motor skills, Dr. Singh also recognizes that it involves a personal finesse. He loves working with patients and relies on his intuition to tailor his work to meet each patient’s specific needs. He is very sensitive to his patients’ needs, and he has the ability to relax even the most apprehensive of patients. Dr. Singh immediately puts patients at ease and makes the dental visit not only stress-free but virtually painless and enjoyable.
Dr. Singh is committed to updating his skills as new techniques in cosmetic and restorative dentistry are developed. Dr. Singh uses the most advanced state-of-the-art dental technology with full digitalization to help his patients understand their dental options so they can make informed choices about their dental health. He strives to help his patients improve their long-term oral health by stressing prevention.
Dr. Singh received his DDS from the University of South California, Los Angeles. This top west coast school’s curriculum emphasized medical training to ensure their dentists were trained in understanding how oral health contributes to total body health.
With a deep curiosity in surgery, Dr. Singh has a fellowship in implant dentistry, which he received after placing and gaining experience in numerous and successful placement and restoration implants. He received advanced training in surgical dentistry and in the treatment of medically compromised patients. He has vast experience in wisdom tooth (third molar) extractions.
Dr. Singh loves kids! He practices pediatric dentistry with a gentle and caring hand, playing and speaking with them to help children feel comfortable. While performing treatment, he is very kind and always makes sure they are happy and enjoying the visit. He provides quality care as well as nitrous oxide sedation to help children feel more at ease.
Dr. Singh has much experience in endodontics (root canal treatment). He has advanced education in endodontics and uses the most recent and updated instruments and techniques. He performs root canal treatment on all teeth (incisors, premolars and molars).
Educated and Experienced in Dentistry
Dr. Singh has studied in four countries and has one master and postgraduate diploma degree. He received his BDS (Bachelor in Dental Surgery) from India, and later he moved to Singapore to gain further education. He finished his DDS from Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry from USC, Los Angeles, and MS in Clinical Research from the Medical University of South Carolina.
