MeetDAVID CHI, DDS
Your Trusted Kirkland Dentists Committed to Excellence and Compassionate Care
Dr. David Chi is thrilled to return home to practice dentistry in Kirkland, less than 10 minutes from where he grew up! After graduating with a Bachelor's from Northwestern University, Dr. David worked in management consulting before returning to Seattle to attend the prestigious University of Washington School of Dentistry.
Dr. David invests heavily in his dental education, spending 100+ hours on continuing education each year. His training has allowed him to perform many advanced procedures, including dental implant placements and surgical extractions of impacted wisdom teeth.
Dr. David earned his Fellowship (FAGD) in the Academy of General Dentistry in 2024. Earning a Fellowship takes dedication to dental continuing education (CE) beyond graduation. Only about 6 percent of general dentists in the U.S. and Canada are AGD Fellows. When you see a dentist with FAGD after their name, you can rest assured that they care about knowing the latest techniques and best practices in dentistry.
Outside the office, Dr. David loves spending time with friends and family enjoying the outdoors. His hobbies include golf, skiing, scuba diving, and hiking. You may find him and his Siberian husky, Ava, running along the local trails and parks in the PNW.
