While Dr Trieu has been a Dentist since 1996, she has been in dentistry for most of her life. When most high schoolers were worried about what to wear to the senior prom, a young Monica was working in a dental office.
Dr. Trieu earned her Biological Sciences degree from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) and her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) at the prestigious School of Dentistry at UCLA. It was at UCLA where she showed a special knack for restoring teeth with composite fillings, earning her the moniker The Composite Queen.
Her community involvement included serving as the Dental Director for the Laguna Beach Community Clinic and assisting with the Share OurSelves organization, providing dental care for the underprivileged community.
