Dr. Chau was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, where her passion for global health and helping others inspired her journey into healthcare. She completed her undergraduate studies in Global Health and International Development at the University of Toronto, and went on to earn a Master’s degree at McMaster University, further deepening her understanding of public health and patient care.
Wanting to combine her public health background with hands-on clinical care, Dr. Chau pursued her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry at Western University. Staying true to her commitment to community care, she had the privilege of serving patients in South London, Ontario at The Wright Clinic, where she provided compassionate, accessible dental care to a wide range of patients. This experience further strengthened her belief that everyone deserves high-quality, patient-centered dental care.
Beyond her work in the clinic, Dr. Chau also shared her knowledge and experience as an adjunct instructor at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, where she enjoyed mentoring dental students and contributing to their growth as future professionals.
Outside of dentistry, Dr. Chau loves spending time with her family and friends, browsing antique shops for unique finds, and cruising around on her longboard — though she admits she often takes a tumble! These hobbies help her stay balanced, joyful, and refreshed.
Dr. Chau is excited to welcome you to Casa Dental, where her goal is to provide gentle, thoughtful care that supports both your oral health and your overall well-being.
Growing up in Mississauga has made it especially meaningful to now care for the community that has always felt like home. I completed my Honours degree at McMaster University, where I was invited into the Golden Key International Honour Society for academic excellence. I then earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Western Ontario. Since graduating in 2009 I’ve continued to build my skills through advanced training and involvement in professional organizations, including the Toronto Crown and Bridge Study Club and the Halton Peel Dental Association.
I enjoy welcoming patients of all ages, whether it’s a child’s very first visit or helping an adult regain confidence after time away from the dentist. My approach is calm, thorough, and centred on making each person feel genuinely comfortable. I understand that the dental chair can be stressful, so I do my best to create a space where you feel at ease and supported. Often with a soft tune in the background, since I’m known to sing while I work.
I’m passionate about both the art and science of dentistry, with particular interests in Invisalign, cosmetic restorations and smile makeovers. Whether we’re maintaining your oral health, addressing a single tooth or rebuilding your smile, I believe in personalized, evidence-based treatment delivered with kindness.
Outside the clinic, I love exploring new ideas through reading, traveling, trying foods from around the world, and staying active. Above all, I enjoy time with my family and our dog
I look forward to getting to know you, answering your questions, and being part of your oral health journey. Thank you for trusting me with your care!
