Dr Winston How graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) degree in 1998 from the National University of Singapore (NUS). With a keen interest to expand his knowledge and broaden his array of skills, he returned to NUS again in 2007 to pursue a structured and formal training in dental implantology. He attained the Graduate Diploma in Dental Implantology in 2009.
An advocate of continuing dental education, Dr How continues to upgrade his clinical skills and knowledge by attending a wide range of courses as he strongly feels he can best serve his patients’ needs only if his knowledge and techniques are current. Dr How enjoys all aspects of dentistry with special interest in Family Dentistry, being able to comprehensively serve the dental needs of patients across all age groups. He also relishes the challenge of helping dentophobic patients overcome their fear of dental treatment.
Outside his usual clinical hours, Dr How is a volunteer dental surgeon at HealthServe, a charity that offers subsidized health services to injured migrant worker not receiving health assistance from their employers. The charity and Dr How were recently mentioned in an article in The Straits Times.
