Hai Qing, Ph.D, DMD, FACP is an American Board-certified Prosthodontist, specializing in smile makeover. Dr. Qing teaches as an assistant professor at University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, lectures and published multiple articles on cosmetic dentistry.  The foremost principle of cosmetic dentistry is to prioritize oral health and function.
