Meet Yu En, your teeth straightening dentist in Buckie
Award-winning care, more than 300 smiles straightened, and a dentist who actually remembers you.
Why I do this
For me, orthodontics has never really been about teeth. It is about the moment someone catches their reflection and, maybe for the first time in years, likes what they see. I have watched quiet, self-conscious patients walk out at the end of treatment with a completely different energy, and that is what keeps me doing this. Every smile I plan is built around the person, not a template.
What to expect when you see me
Your first visit is unhurried. I will listen properly, explain everything in plain language before we do anything, and show you where we are heading before we begin. If you are straightening your teeth, I map the whole plan out in 3D first, and once you are underway your progress is checked each week through Dental Monitoring, using scans from your own phone. That means fewer trips to the practice and no guesswork.
If it has been a while, or the dentist makes you anxious, you are in good hands - a lot of my week is spent gently winning round patients who used to dread coming in. When you are ready, you can also read about clear aligners and teeth straightening or a general check-up and new patient exam.

A quick word on the chocolates
Do not be surprised if you hear about them. Yu En has a habit of receiving thank-you cards and boxes of chocolates from patients he has treated - which tells you most of what you need to know about how people feel when their treatment is done.
Yu En Cheah - your questions answered
Which treatments does Yu En offer?
Yu En looks after teeth straightening with clear aligners and braces, along with general and cosmetic dentistry such as check-ups, fillings, and rebuilding worn or damaged teeth.
Does Yu En treat nervous patients?
Yes, and it is a big part of what he does. He takes things slowly, explains everything first, and there is no pressure to go ahead with anything.
Does Yu En do clear aligners as well as general dentistry?
Yes. Many patients see him for a routine check-up and go on to ask about straightening their teeth - because it is the same dentist, your care joins up naturally.
