At Smilehaus Newmarket, we've created an environment where our partnership of four experienced dentists shares a common vision for what patient care should be.
Dr. Youngwoo Joo, Dr. Henry Shin, Dr. Luke Yoon, and Dr. John Moore each bring unique skillsets, perspectives, and expertise to create a collaborative environment that promotes top-level care for our patients. Whether you see the same dentist every visit or different providers, you can expect the same high-quality care every time.
Our Core Values
The foundation of our dental practice rests on five core principles that shape your experience:
- Care: We treat every patient as we would our loved ones, with empathy, respect, and integrity. We prioritize your comfort, respect your concerns, and work with your financial means to help you achieve optimal oral health.
- Communication: We listen carefully to your concerns, explain treatments in language you can understand, and encourage you to ask questions at every stage. You'll never feel rushed because we take the time to ensure you feel heard and informed about your dental health and treatment options.
- Clarity: We believe in setting clear expectations for our team and providing honest information to our patients. You deserve to know exactly what treatment you need, why you need it, what it will cost, and what results to expect.
- Consistency: We hold every member of our team to the same high standards of care and conduct, ensuring that your experience remains excellent, regardless of which dentist or hygienist you see. You'll experience peace of mind knowing you'll receive the same exceptional treatment every time you visit.
- Culture: Our team is driven, trustworthy, and always ready to learn. Dentistry evolves rapidly, and we invest in ongoing education and advanced training to provide you with the latest techniques and technology.

Dental Education
Committed to providing the highest level of care, Dr. Joo has pursued extensive advanced training across multiple specialties. He completed an Implant Residency at The Institute of Dental Excellence in Toronto, where he received extended education in advanced dental implantology, including Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), a process that offers optimum results and healing.

Care Philosophy
One of the things Dr. Joo enjoys most about being a dentist is getting to know his patients and building trust and life-long relationships. He enjoys educating patients about the importance of oral health and its impact on their overall health and well-being. Dr. Joo considers the appreciation and acknowledgment from patients for the quality of work they received as one of the most rewarding aspects of his job.
When he's not helping patients maintain their oral health, you can find Dr. Joo snowboarding, golfing, or watching basketball.
Dr. Luke Yoon
Dr. Yoon has been part of our practice since 2021, bringing a compassionate approach rooted in his lifelong passion for helping others. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from New York University College of Dentistry and began his dental career in 2020. Raised in a family of physicians, he developed a natural curiosity about the human body and discovered that oral health is one of the most prevalent health concerns in our communities, inspiring him to make a meaningful contribution through dentistry.
The most rewarding aspect for Dr. Yoon is the impact he makes on patients' lives, whether relieving their concerns and pain or sharing in the joy of positive oral health outcomes. He's equally passionate about mentoring his team, aspiring clinical members to grow and find fulfillment in their work. His approach combines clinical excellence with genuine care, creating an environment where both patients and team members thrive.
Outside the office, Dr. Yoon enjoys travelling, exploring local neighbourhoods and trails, and staying active through workouts and Pilates. He's a fan of nature documentaries and NBA vlogs, and enjoys building LEGOs and tending to his collection of plants at home. An interesting chapter in his journey: he spent a year living in Hawaii, where he completed an introductory counselling program at the University of the Nations.
Dr. John Moore
Dr. Moore joined our practice in 2022, bringing his passion for the life and health sciences to the Twinsburg community. Inspired by his eldest sister, who is also a dentist, he was drawn to dentistry for its perfect blend of scientific knowledge and hands-on patient care. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from New York University College of Dentistry.
What Dr. Moore values most about his work is building enduring relationships with patients and getting to know them on a personal level. He finds the appreciation from patients to be one of the most fulfilling aspects of his career, and he's committed to being an integral part of the community he serves.
Originally from Vancouver and Penticton, Dr. Moore has a deep love for learning that extends beyond dentistry. During his undergraduate years, he nearly earned a second Bachelor of Arts degree in history, and he continues to enjoy reading about different time periods from around the world. He's also an avid runner who has completed several marathons and runs two to three each year, with the goal of one day completing an ultramarathon. When he's not running or reading, Dr. Moore enjoys exploring new restaurants and cuisines, both locally and during his travels.
Dr. Kent Shin
Dr. Shin joined our practice in 2024, bringing extensive training and a passion for comprehensive care. He earned his Bachelor of Oral Health in Dental Science and Graduate Diploma of Dentistry from Griffith University in Queensland, Australia. His commitment to advanced education includes a Graduate Diploma in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics through EODO in Sydney, advanced implant training at IAADent, a Fellowship in Modern Aligners from Ripe Global, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Aesthetic & Restorative Dentistry from the London Dental Institute.
Dr. Shin offers a comprehensive range of services, including restorations, orthodontics, surgical extractions, implants, and root canal treatments. What drives him is building genuine trust with patients—helping them feel comfortable and guiding them toward confident, healthy smiles. His approach blends science, artistry, and human connection, creating a calm and collaborative environment where both patients and team members thrive.
Early volunteer experiences providing dental care in remote villages across Cambodia, India, and Kyrgyzstan inspired Dr. Shin's commitment to compassionate care. Outside the clinic, he trains in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which he credits with sharpening his focus, building resilience, and maintaining the discipline that enhances his clinical work.
