Dr Ning Yu,

I grew up in Handan, a northern city in China, and earned my dental degree from China Medical University in Shenyang. I later completed my periodontal training at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where I was honored with the Orban Award from the American Association of Periodontology for excellence in research. My family and I eventually made our way to New England, drawn by the beauty of the four seasons and the warm, welcoming communities. I’m passionate about the long-term connections I build with patients and believe in delivering care that’s both expert and compassionate. I joined Spoonwood Dental because of the incredible team and supportive environment, and I’m excited to explore more of the Monadnock region, especially the hiking trails! Outside of dentistry, I enjoy reading non-fiction, running 5Ks, and relaxing with a good book by the pool. My daughter Emma, a rising third grader, keeps me busy with her love of soccer, swimming, and guitar. My husband Mao, is a scientist in cancer research.
