Before her career as a dentist, Dr. Stephanie Shum worked as a teacher where she developed a passion for working with children. That passion has carried over into her dental practice. Dr. Shum’s warm demeanor and vivid storytelling make dental visits a comfortable and calming experience for all her patients but especially children. Prior to joining the Maxwell Heights Dental clinic, Dr. Shum practiced in Brooklin, Ontario, where she continues to hold her part-time position as head of the dental department at Ontario Shores Hospital Centre.

She completed her Doctor of Dental Surgery with distinction at the University of Western Ontario, where she received the crown and bridge award from the Toronto Academy of Dentistry. Dr. Grace has built her practice with an emphasis on compassionate and conservative dentistry. In the past, Dr. Grace has travelled to remote dental clinics in Paraguay and Brazil to provide dental care for the less fortunate.

Today, Dr. Grace remains an active participant in a volunteer organization where she provides dental care for the underprivileged in the Greater Toronto Area.

These meaningful experiences have helped Dr. Grace discover her passion for rebuilding smiles. Your smile is a reflection of who you are and is many times the first and most lasting impression you make on others.

Dr. Grace believes that everyone deserves a healthy smile and strives to work with patients to achieve that! In her spare time, Dr. Grace enjoys scuba diving, piano playing, curling up with a good book, and, above all, spending time with family and friends.

Dr. Pamela Li completed her dental degree at the University of Western Australia in 2010. Afterwards, she practiced in both the Australian Dental Health Services, and private practice for two years before returning to Canada. Dr. Li has served in various communities in Ontario, most recently in Markham and Pickering. She is excited to join the team at Maxwell Heights Dental.

Dr. Li believes in a collaborative approach which includes educating and empowering patients, so that they understand their treatment options, and can maintain excellent oral health and a confident smile for life. Dr. Li is a member of the RCDSO, ODA and Toronto Crown and Bridge Study Club. She enjoys advancing her clinical skills by regularly taking continuing dental education courses.

Prior to dentistry, Dr. Li completed her Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy, with First Class Honours, at Curtin University in Western Australia. During this time, she developed a good understanding of various musculoskeletal conditions and how rehabilitation can effectively manage and resolve pain, and enable patients to regain their strength and mobility. The joy of helping patients achieve a better quality of life has continued as a dentist.

Dr. Roland Leung earned his Honours Bachelor of Science with distinction in Immunology, followed by a Master of Science and is now a well established Periodontist.
