Prior to moving to the Bay Area, Dr Chong spent many of her earlier years in warm and sunny Southeast Asia and the beautiful British Columbia, Canada. In Vancouver Canada, Dr Chong worked in several dental offices during her high school summer breaks and it was through these experiences that Dr Chong developed a passion for helping others create beautiful smiles. Dr Chong then moved to the City of Brotherly Love to pursue her passion in dentistry at the prestigious Ivy League Institution – the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine.
At Penn, she was selected to attend the combined Orthodontics/Periodontics residency program, the only one of its kind in the world which accepts one resident each year. Dr Chong treated numerous patients at Penn with orthodontic, periodontic and complex, interdisciplinary dental needs. Dr Chong also had the privilege of lecturing on different treatment techniques and served as clinical faculty to dental students. In recognition of her efforts and dedication to dentistry, Dr Chong was the recipient of the American Dental Education Association Johnson & Johnson Award, Colgate Research Award, Dr Morris Bradin Award in Periodontics and attaining Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics.

The team at Embrace Smiles is committed to providing patients with a family-oriented, fun, and meaningful experience. Our team members are passionate about delivering patient-focused care, one that will leave our patients continuously raving about!
