White Rock Dental Clinic Owner & Clinician: Dr. San Bhatha, General Dentist
- Doctor of Dental Medicine, 2001; Vancouver, British Columbia, UBC Dental School
Dr. San Bhatha graduated from the University of British Columbia’s Dental School in Vancouver, BC, Canada, in 2001 with a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree. After honing his skills as an associate dentist, he took ownership of a downtown Vancouver practice in 2005. A year later, he realized his vision for a second practice by founding Southridge Dental, a community-centered clinic in South Surrey’s White Rock area. Dr. Bhatha’s commitment to his patients and community led him to dedicate himself fully to Southridge Dental after selling his downtown practice in 2011.
In 2023, Dr. Bhatha and his team made the decision to adjust their clinic hours, working Tuesday through Thursday from 7 am to 7 pm. This change allows him to pursue other passions, including becoming a part-time faculty member at UBC Dental School in early 2024. There, he supervises fourth-year dental students, nurturing the next generation of dental professionals.
Dr. Bhatha believes in the power of community and giving back, which he considers a central purpose of his work as a dentist. His generosity reaches local schools through donations of backpacks, winter gear, and contributions to graduation fundraisers. He has spoken with high school students to inspire them to pursue their dreams, while he and his team actively raise funds for causes such as the Surrey Food Bank, women’s shelters, and recovery homes. Dr. Bhatha and his family also participate in fundraisers for homeless youth, with contributions to Youth Unlimited and Covenant House BC.
In July 2024, Dr. Bhatha celebrated 25 years of marriage. Both of his children now attend and live at UBC, following in his footsteps. Outside the clinic, he enjoys an active lifestyle that includes early-morning workouts, road biking with his wife and friends, hiking, and local walks with his wife. The Bhatha family is also passionate about travel, continually exploring new destinations and embracing adventures around the world.
