AboutKarrie Chu DDS Dental Care

Dr. Karrie Chu earned her dental degree from The University of Indiana Dental School, Indianapolis, Indiana. There she gained experience treating medically complex patients, handling dental emergencies and performing aesthetic procedures.

Education is extremely important to Dr. Karrie, for herself and her patients. She continues to learn the newest techniques in dentistry through continued course work to give patients the best options in treatment. "I take a comprehensive approach to dental care, to properly treat the patient and effectively restore their oral and overall health." Her professional memberships include The American Dental Association, the California Dental Association and the San Gabriel Dental Society. "Throughout the years, I noticed that many patients who had dental fears became very comfortable with me." Dr. Karrie uses many ways to make the dental visit more comfortable including noise cancelling headphones, aromatherapy, dark glasses to eliminate bright lights and nitrous oxide if additional anti anxiety help is needed. For patients that have a strong phobia, she is one of the few dentist in Pasadena with a license to provide conscious sedation.

Dr. Karrie is constantly motivated to improve the lives of her patients and strives to provide an environment where patients feel protected, happy and listened to. When Dr. Karrie isn't in the office creating beautiful smiles, she spends her free time cooking, road-tripping, snowboarding and being active with her husband and two kids.
