Meet Dr. Nikki Chin

Dr. Nikki Chin

I entered the dental field because of my passion and desire to help people achieve optimal oral health, and this continues to excite me every single day. Meeting our patients, getting to know them, and seeing their reactions at the end of their treatment are a constant thrill. Knowing I am a part of bringing them to a greater awareness about dental care makes me proud.

Outside the Office

When I’m not helping people achieve the smiles they desire, I enjoy traveling, cooking and being active.   I love spending time with my twin daughters (Jemma and Zoe) and son (Davis).  My husband and I enjoy trying new restaurants and foods and also find time to golf in our spare time.  I am also an avid reader and enjoy participating in a book club with friends.
