Preventive and Cosmetic Dental Team in Honolulu, Hawaii
Our dental practice is privileged to have well-qualified, friendly and caring staff. All are CPR certified and licensed in their area of expertise. Like Dr. Chin, staff members keep current through frequent continuing education courses. They are committed to doing their best for each patient and making every dental visit convenient, comfortable and as relaxing as possible.
Dr. Chin completed the General Practice Dental Residency at The Queen’s Medical Center (QMC) 1981-82 and has practiced dentistry in Hawaii for over 40 years. Currently on staff at QMC, she recently completed 2019 - June 2023 term as Chief, Dentistry Division. Dr. Chin has been honoured to be named one of Honolulu’s Best Dentists since 2001. A fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry since 1988, she graduated Magna Cum Laude from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine 1981. Continuing education is a year-round commitment for Dr. Chin and staff.
Practice Philosophy
Dr. Chin has dedicated her practice to providing excellent, prevention-oriented dental care using the most conservative techniques as gently and carefully as possible. Sharing up-to-date information with her patients in order to contribute to their oral health and in turn, overall health is a priority. Dr. Chin and staff always do their best to follow-up and help our patients keep on track with their needs and goals. While we pay special attention to our keikis, it is never too late to start practicing good oral care habits and get in shape to have a healthy, attractive smile. Healthy smiles contribute to healthy bodies and minds.
