Bourbon and Legos is undoubtedly a strange combination for a collector, but Dr. Kevin Tsui, of Waterside Dental Care in Denver, explains that the small details are what draw him in. “I have really enjoyed understanding the intricacies and subtle nuances in different kinds of bourbon, and being able to take small Legos and build a perfect piece is very gratifying,” he explains. Dr. Tsui takes the same focus on the details with all his patients, too. “I also take a straightforward approach to explanations, so that my patients can make the best-informed decisions,” he explains.

A graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill’s Dental School, Dr. Tsui was first inspired as a middle school student by his dentist in his Kings Mountain hometown. “To get a better understanding of the field, I started shadowing several dentists, and I continue to be friends with them to this day,” he smiles. Dr. Tsui continues to stay up-todate on the newest technologies and remains a member of the Charlotte Implant Study Club. He is also an active student of the Kois and Spear Education Continuums.

Dr. Tsui credits his success to the unconditional support of his parents who immigrated to the

U.S. in 1982. From providing him with all the equipment and opportunities for tennis lessons when he had dreams of being a professional tennis player, to his aspirations of becoming a dentist, his parents never discouraged him from pursuing his goals.

While he isn’t a globetrotter, there is one trip that Dr. Tsui makes annually. “I visit my grandmother in Vancouver every year and explore the beautiful area of Banff, Alberta,” he says. Seeing life from a different perspective is something that Dr. Tsui values. The story of Dr. Paul Kalanithi, in “When Breath Becomes Air,” recounts his experience as a doctor with a terminal diagnosis. “The book really opened my eyes to a deeper

understanding that life is more than just working and making money, but about appreciating the small things in life.”

Attention to the details drives this Lake Norman dentist in and out of the practice, and his passion lies in helping as many people as possible. Dr. Tsui says: “Our mission is to provide exceptional dental care with compassion and great customer service. We do this by caring for our patients as family with a focus on honesty, trust, and comfort. I am lucky to be able to help my patients improve their dental health every day, and it makes me smile when they are happy with what my team and I have been able to do for them and their smiles.” w
