Yanjing Ma
Associate Dentist
DMD
From international economics to oral health, Dr. Yanjing Ma has followed an unconventional (but well-brushed) path to dentistry. After earning her first degree in International Trade and Economics in Beijing, she pivoted to biology in New York, then dove headfirst into dentistry at the University of Pennsylvania. She polished off her training with an Advanced Education in General Dentistry at the Eastman Institute, and now she’s all smiles—literally and professionally.
Driven by a deep passion for making dental care more accessible and a dedication to patient-centered service, she brings both precision and heart to every appointment. Whether restoring a tooth or restoring a patient’s confidence, she’s all about the details—and maybe a few good puns.
When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll probably find her exploring new cities, cuisines, and cultures—traveling the world one passport stamp (and dental floss) at a time.
