Hi, I’m Dr. Bob Yu. I grew up in Louisville, KY and attended Washington University in St. Louis for my undergraduate studies and the University of Louisville School of Dentistry for my dental education. Afterwards, I completed a one-year general practice residency at Summa Akron City Hospital (where LeBron James and Steph Curry were born) to expand my clinical skills and knowledge. Upon completion, I worked at a rural, public health clinic in Southeastern Ohio to treat a severely economically-disadvantaged population that desperately needed dental care. In June of 2019, my wife and I moved to Orange County for her pediatric training at UC Irvine/CHOC.

My approach to dentistry is very conservative and I aim to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible. I am well-trained in all facets of general dentistry and am dedicated to providing the highest quality care I can to every patient. I value the faith and trust patients have in me, so I will never over-diagnose or oversell treatment that is not absolutely necessary. I make sure to listen to each patient and his or her individual needs, so that we can create an optimal treatment plan together.

In my spare time, I enjoy exploring Southern California with my wife, playing/watching basketball, snowboarding, making music, and painting. Thank you for visiting our website. Hope to see you soon for all your dental needs!
