About Derrick Chua, DMD
Dr. Chua learned grew up in a family of dentists who have inspired me throughout my life. As a high schooler, I spent a lot of time helping my mother at her dental office. I looked on as she improved her patient’s health and livelihood through her work, and soon I had no question that I wanted to go into science and medicine, as well. After graduating from Temple University School of Dentistry, I joined the family practice and, years later, now run it as my own. Through collaboration with my mother and furthering my skills base with continuing education courses every 3-4 weeks, I continue to learn and grow as a medical professional. I’m constantly excited about all of the changes, improvements, and new technologies coming to dentistry because they allow me to provide even better care to my patients. I treat a wide range of patients with varying professions and dental health goals at my practice. My ability to speak Tagalog, Fukienese, Mandarin, Spanish, and English allows me to connect with an even larger population in the Bay Area and run one of the most diverse practices in the city.
