Dentist—Prince Albert, SK
Meet Dr. Walter Yim
I chose the path of dentistry as a means to contribute to people's overall well-being. My father, a dedicated and compassionate dentist himself, served as my inspiration and instilled in me a deep sense of purpose.
Why did you become a dentist?
Over the past 35 years, while managing my own dental practice in Toronto, Ontario, I've cultivated that same dedication and enthusiasm. Many of my patients and staff have been an integral part of my dental journey, remaining with the practice for decades.
Where did you study dentistry?
I obtained my dental degree from the University of Toronto in 1988. I further honed my skills under the guidance of respected mentors such as Drs. Bond, Macdonald, Misch, Kois, Zarb, and, notably, my late father. My commitment to continuous learning has led me to specialize in comprehensive restorative care, implantology, endodontics, prosthetics, bone grafting, and preventive dentistry.
As an active member of esteemed organizations like the Toronto Crown and Bridge Study Club, the Pierre Fouchard Academy, The Ontario Dental Association, the Canadian Dental Association, and the American Dental Association, I consistently expand my knowledge and refine my skills.
What do you like to do outside of dentistry?
Beyond my dental practice, I've earned a master’s in healthcare design and taught at OCADU. My hobbies include playing tennis, engaging in woodworking, and cherishing quality moments with my wife, children, and extended family in Saskatchewan.
