Meet Lisa Hongying Pan, DDS, PhD

Growing up in a family dedicated to dentistry, I was surrounded by a network of patients who were not just clients but also dear members of our extended family . Through more than a decade of rigorous training and pursuing BDS/DDS/PhD degrees in prestigious dental institutions globally, I’ve embraced a philosophy rooted in evidence-based dentistry. I also have 17 publications in peer-reviewed topnotch dental journals, and was cited for over 400 times by other dental colleagues globally.

My goal is to ensure that the treatments I provide offer lasting improvements to my patients’ oral health and overall happiness. I firmly believe in utilizing both traditional methodologies and cutting-edge dental technologies to achieve this.

A guiding principle in my practice is treating each patient as I would my own family members. If a procedure isn’t something I would recommend for my mother, cousins, or myself, I wouldn’t suggest it for any patient. This personal connection drives me to deliver the highest standard of care.

After engaging in extensive discussions about patient cases and sharing philosophies on dental care, Dr. Wellborn graciously entrusted me with his legacy. It is an immense honor for me to become a part of his nurturing community, continuing the tradition of caring for existing families and welcoming new patients into our large
