Meet Dr. David Chong

Dr. David Chong was born and raised in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Seattle. He knows the impact that consistent figures in the community can have. Through his practice, he aims to be that kind of resource for you and all of Olympia.

Multiple roads led Dr. Chong to dentistry. He volunteered to go on a dental mission trip to Guatemala after he finished his undergrad degree. There, he saw firsthand that dental care is more than techniques and knowledge. It's also about making a genuine connection with each patient.

Also, as the child of immigrant parents, he accompanied them to dental appointments to translate. By becoming a dentist, he hoped to remove cultural and language barriers that many patients have to face, so it is easier for them to receive care.

Dr. Chong graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor of Science in molecular biology. He earned his dental degree from the same institution.

Since then, he has taken numerous continuing education courses, including ones for dental implant placement and restoration, clear aligners, sleep apnea therapy, and advanced treatment planning. He has studied with some of the top instructors in the world at the renowned Kois Center. He is an active member of the American Dental Association and the Washington State Dental Association.

Outside the office, Dr. Chong is always looking for new hobbies. He loves being outdoors, so you'll often find him snowboarding and biking. He and his wife often spend weekends trying out new restaurants, hiking around the PNW, and spending time with their families, who live close by. A big fan of road trips, his goal is to one day design and build a camper van so he and his wife can explore more trails together.
