Meet Our Dentists in Chula Vista
David Liu
David Liu D.D.S., General Dentist
ABOUT ME
Dr. Liu says, “ I find dentistry rewarding because it gives me the opportunity to build relationships with patients and bring back their smile and confidence.”
“As a kid, I had a lot of cavities and one time I chipped my two front teeth when I fell on my face by the playground. The intense pain not only prevented me from eating and drinking my favorite foods, but also made me hide my smile from friends at school. Thankfully, my parents were dentists, and they relieved my pain and restored my smile.“
“That experience inspired me to become someone who could have that same impact on others’ lives. As I grew up, I discovered my growing passion for dentistry and decided to follow my parents’ footsteps. Dentistry is a unique discipline that combines the principles of medicine, science, engineering, and art. It is both a challenging and fun profession because it requires one to have well-rounded knowledge and synthesize ideas from diverse fields to formulate a comprehensive treatment plan and skillfully execute it.”
After graduating from UCLA, Dr. Liu received his Dental Degree from the UCLA School of Dentistry. To keep abreast of cutting edge technology, he’s a member of the American Dental Association and the California Dental Association. He also speaks Spanish and Mandarin Chinese.
Away from the office, Dr. Liu relaxes by playing the piano, hiking and travel.
