Dr. Maggie T. Chao earned her DMD from the Harvard School of Dental Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts. She then furthered her training at Harvard to sharpen her diagnostic and clinical skills with a residency in Prosthodontics. During her residency, she was awarded for her achievements in material science research and excellence in clinical care. Dr. Chao also earned a Master of Medical Science in Oral Biology.

Originally from California, Dr. Chao completed her undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley before moving to the East Coast for dental school. Having returned to the Bay Area, Dr. Chao pursues her love for academia as an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of California at San Francisco. Dr. Chao is also recognized for her presentations on her research and innovative clinical techniques at national dental conferences. Dr. Chao keeps up to date with the latest technology as an active member in the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, San Francisco Dental Association, Contra Costa Dental Society and American College of Prosthodontics. Dr. Chao is a board-eligible member of the American College of Prosthodontists.

Since returning to the Bay Area, Dr. Chao enjoys exploring and reacquainting herself to the area alongside her husband Wan. As an enthusiastic person dedicated to self-improvement, Dr. Chao would like to run a marathon and to return to her passion for painting and art-- hopefully all her artwork won't look like teeth!
