Meet Dr. Wang

A dentist who listens first, then explains, then treats.

Dr. Yanliang Wang, DDS, PhD, brings nearly three decades of dental practice and an internationally‑published research career to every patient visit. Formerly Chief of Oral Surgery at the Stomatology Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, he was trained in craniofacial research at the University of Utah under Prof. Rena D'Souza — later Director of the NIH's National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research — and co‑authored peer‑reviewed papers with 2007 Nobel Laureate Prof. Mario R. Capecchi.

His practice in Hillsborough is built on the same discipline he brought to the operating room and the laboratory: unhurried attention, careful diagnosis, and honest options.
