Wendy Chu, DMD

Dr. Chu’s Biography

Dr. Wendy Chu is a meticulous and compassionate orthodontist dedicated to providing care that goes beyond just teeth—focusing on the whole patient. Known for her authenticity, patience, and dedication, Dr. Chu brings a thoughtful and evidence-based approach to every treatment plan.

Her path to dentistry was deeply personal. As a child, she feared dental visits and often felt judged instead of supported. That experience inspired her to become the kind of provider she once needed—one who listens, connects, and offers care with empathy. She was drawn to orthodontics for its transformative power, not just in smiles but in confidence and well-being.

Dr. Chu is especially proud of a case where a routine orthodontic exam helped uncover a pituitary tumor, reinforcing her belief in holistic care. At Willamette Dental, she found a professional home that values collaboration, integrity, and putting patients first.

Outside the clinic, you’ll find her exploring local trails, sipping coffee at new cafés, or recharging with a good routine. Whether in the outdoors or at work, Dr. Chu brings presence, curiosity, and genuine care to everything she does.
