Background

Dr. Min Hee Oh was born in Seoul, South Korea. She moved to Singapore at the early age of one month. Attending international schools, she graduated high school from the Singapore American School (go Eagles!).

Dentistry was always the career she had chosen from her formative years and was accepted to attend an accelerated DDS program at the most prestigious school in South Korea; Seoul National University, School of Dentistry, where she received her first DDS degree.

After working for several years, she decided to broaden her skill sets and applied to programs in US. She was selected as a PPID (Professional Program for International Dentists) student at UCLA and received her second DDS degree, graduating with several certificates of achievement.

Having grown up in many different cities around the world, and immersed in many different cultures from a young age, Dr. Oh is a true Third Culture Kid, and speaks fluent Korean and English.

Training

Upon graduation from UCLA, Dr. Oh worked as an associate for many years at several practices in Los Angeles with the vision of opening her own practice in the city. Dr. Oh is always looking to enhance her skills, taking multiple Continuing Education classes throughout the year. She completed a 2-year intensive orthodontic course at Progressive Orthodontics upon graduating dental school at UCLA.

In the past few years, Dr. Oh completed and implant training program via Implant Seminars and received a fellowship in Implant Dentistry through the International Dental Implant Association. Dr. Oh has also been a certified Invisalign provider for many years and was a doctor at a Platinum provider’s office. Dr. Oh is highly trained in digital dentistry via CEREC Doctors. Dr. Oh is most passionate about staying on the leading edge of dentistry by investing hundreds of hours into ongoing training every year. This allows her to provide the most comprehensive care for her patients.

Community

Dr. Oh decided she wanted to be a member of the healthcare industry from an early age and was active in social services throughout the high school and dental school years. She participates at CDA Cares annually on days she is not at the office for the rewarding experience of providing dental services and teaching the importance of dental health to underserved populations in Southern California. Most recently, she spent a time at the Dominican Republic providing implant dentistry as part of a mission group and plans to do so every year.

Outside Dentistry

Beyond the scrubs, Dr. Oh is a true foodie, always on the lookout for new restaurants, good farmer’s markets, and cooking classes. Ask her about a new restaurant in town! She actively practices pilates throughout the week. Growing up in South East Asia early in her life, she had the opportunity to travel to many countries throughout Asia with her family. One continent she has yet to travel extensively is Europe, which she hopes to do so in the near future. Always welcoming food and travel recommendations, Dr. Oh is excited to meet you soon!
