I joined The Dental Clinic team in 2006, after a long career in hairdressing and embarked on my Dental Surgery Assistant certification course, passing this in 2007. Over the next few years I assisted in many oral surgery procedures, including several visits to the plastics unit at Hutt Hospital, where several of our patients have undergone extensive treatment for various oral cancers.
In 2010, I successfully completed my Level I examinations in Orthodontic Assisting and followed this by achieving certification in Level II in 2012. I have attended several Invisalign courses as well as being trained in Fast Braces and tooth whitening systems, the use of Botulinum Toxin for treatment of Bruxism and dento-facial aesthetics, Dermal Fillers and the Obagi range of skin rejuvenation treatments.
As of 2019 I have taken the position of Practice manager where my duties include day to day management of the practice and assisting in all aspects of general dentistry when required.
In my spare time I look after my demanding animals and enjoy developing our rural home and section with my partner.

Hello, I’m Yuen Xin and I graduated from the University of Otago with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery with First Class Honours (BDS Hons) in 2022. It is my pleasure to be a part of the awesome team at Masterton Dental Clinic!
I am genuinely passionate about all aspects of dentistry and you will definitely see that come through when you are in the chair with me. My goal as a dentist is to not only help you achieve your best smile, but also make sure that it stays healthy for years to come.
I strive to always provide a gentle and compassionate dental experience while upholding the highest standards of excellence. I am committed to continuing education that will allow me to offer you the most innovative and effective treatments available. I love to integrate the latest techniques and technologies into my care so that I can provide you with the most efficient and comfortable dental experience.
Outside of dentistry, I am a big foodie and enjoy baking, cooking, and exploring different food places. I also love to travel and have been to numerous countries around the globe.
I look forward to seeing you in my dental chair!

After graduating from the University of Otago in December 2015 with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) and a Bachelor of Biomedical Science (BBiomedSc) I was thrilled to start my journey in private practice in Masterton, especially after having grown up in Wellington.
Since starting I have introduced many of the latest technologies into the field and we now offer a comprehensive range of services all in-house. The most rewarding part is to be providing world class dental care locally in the Wellington region.
What I love about being a dentist is taking the time to get to know my patients, and putting them at ease during their visits while delivering a high standard of dental care. My focus largely is on full mouth reconstructions, smile makeovers and implant dentistry. Same day smile makeovers are my favourite.
I am very grateful to have a profession which I am so passionate about, and I get to work alongside talented dentists with a diverse skill set to collaborate with to bring the best outcomes to people. Since graduating I have taken many opportunities to travel worldwide and attend the most reputable residency programmes including full mouth rehabilitation, cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, and dental implantology. I have ongoing affiliations with NZ dental association (NZDA), Wellington branch of dentists association and NZ sedation dentistry (NZSSD).
When Im not looking at teeth or travelling, I thoroughly enjoy the relaxed lifestyle the Wairarapa offers. In the summertime I can be found on the beach or entertaining friends and colleagues from out of town. My hobbies include fitness and racquet sports like badminton and squash.
