Dr Emmanuel is one of the amazing Specialist Orthodontists at our Parramatta and Fairy Meadow clinics. For him, it’s all about the orthodontist-patient relationship. Being able to make a significant and positive change in someone’s life and building a relationship with the client over the course of treatment is a huge reason why he comes to work everyday with a smile on his face.

Born and raised in Sydney, Dr Emmanuel Chan started his education at Normanhurst Boys’ High School before relocating to South Australia to pursue Dentistry. It was here, at the University of Adelaide that he graduated concurrently with both Bachelor of Dental Surgery and Bachelor of Science in Dentistry with First Class Honours.

With this impressive achievement under his professional belt, he moved back to Sydney and worked as a general dentist within a private practice. It was at this time that he identified his keen interest in orthodontics. When asked, he says he was attracted to the field due to the big and meaningful impact treatment can have on someone’s life, and it involves careful planning and problem solving.

His passion led him to undergo specialist training at the University of Sydney, which resulted in him receiving his Doctor of Clinical Dentistry in Orthodontics. This turned out to be the right path for him, as in his final year his excellent work was recognised when he was awarded the Australian Begg Society of Orthodontists Award for Best Postgraduate Clinical Case. Furthermore, he has been awarded Membership to the Royal Australian College of Dental Surgeons.

As a proud graduate of the University of Sydney, Dr Emmanuel has returned to his alma mater to teach dental students as a clinical lecturer.

When he is not with patients or passing on his knowledge to the next generation of orthodontists, he enjoys spending time with family and friends, playing piano and learning guitar. In another life he may have been a song writer! He also likes keeping active with tennis and basketball, which helps keep his mind razor sharp in the clinic.
