Dr. Diana Liu
Dr. Diana Liu is passionate about oral health from a holistic and functional perspective.
She sees the intimate relationship between how the quality of sleep, nutrition, breathing, airway, and oral habits / products all impact the health of our mouth and body.
She offers the full spectrum of general dentistry from fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, nightguards, surgery, prevention, Invisalign, Sleep Apnea Care, and Myobrace; she takes the time to understand every patient’s individualized needs from a holistic perspective and strives to make each dental visit as comfortable and relaxing as possible.
Her own personal journey with insomnia and burnout; as well as her mother’s diagnosis of sleep apnea, propelled her on a unique journey to discover Dental Sleep Medicine. This unique niche within dentistry allows her the opportunity to support kids and adults who struggle with Sleep and Sleep Apnea.
She provides holistic, non-invasive dental options to support breathing and development such as Dental Sleep Apnea Night Guard, Invisalign, and Myobrace.
She grew up in Windsor, Ontario where she received her undergraduate degree in Biochemistry. Her interests in healthcare led her to a rewarding career in dentistry, where she received her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Toronto.
She is very grateful to be living on the Sunshine Coast with breathtaking nature, warmer climates, and an intimate community feel.
When she is not practicing dentistry she is sharing yin yoga, yoga nidra, and sound bath healing on Sunday nights at Coast Flow Yoga Studio in Gibsons, offering wellness and self care retreats for the community, or replenishing in the forests and beaches with friends and family.
We look forward to hearing from you soon!
