Dr. Eugenia Chan’s passion for rebuilding damaged teeth is only matched by her passion to educate and serve others – be it dental students, patients, or underserved children, seniors, and families. A graduate of the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry at the University of Southern California, Dr. Chan went on to earn her certificate in prosthodontics from one of the world’s top dental schools: the Harvard School of Dental Medicine (HSDM).

While pursuing her Doctor of Dental Surgery and Master of Medical Science in Oral Biology degrees from USC and HDSM respectively, Dr. Chan’s proficiency in restorations and tooth replacement, as well as her excellent communication skills, was on display as an instructor and teacher’s assistant, and attending to pre-clinical students at Harvard’s “school within a school”: the Harvard Dental Center.

Dr. Chan has worked side-by-side with Harvard and USC professors on research related to advanced dental materials and technologies. She deftly juggled the pursuit of her DDS and prosthodontist certificate, an achievement that requires at least three years of additional training and education beyond dental school (as one of nine specialties recognized by the American Dental Association), with an array of leadership and community involvement activities.
