The founder of Beacon Dental's story is a unique one. Dr. Hongli Wang was born and raised in Beijing, China. She earned her first dental degree from Beijing University in 1988 and worked as a dentist for five years. She came to America in 1993, but did not speak English. She learned the language and enrolled in dental school in New York. She graduated from New York University’s Dental School and earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2001.

After working as an associate dentist for 3 years, Dr. Wang made the decision to take control of her future and opened her own practice. She was recently married and was a new mother of a toddler (pictured above, who is turned 15 in 2015!) when she opened her office. Dr. Wang is a caring, gentle dentist who takes the time to educate her patients about their oral health. Her goal is to help patients achieve successful treatment and have a beautiful, healthy smile, and goes out of her way to make sure each patient’s needs are met.
