CHUCK LE, DDS Dr. Chuck Le is the founder of 7 Day Dental and is a recognized leader in the field of dentistry. He immigrated to the United States in the 1970s to attain the American Dream through dedication, effort, and hard work. Following an intensive academic education in high school, Dr. Le entered the prestigious School of Dentistry at the University of Southern California (USC), where he participated in the first accelerated Doctorate of Dentistry program, and in 1989, after only six years, he graduated with his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree. While this marked the beginning of his remarkable career, it in no way signaled the end of his education or training. Since opening the 7 Day Dental in 1990 in Anaheim, California, Dr. Le has continued to keep abreast of odontological advances made through continued professional development and education, which is no mean feat considering the scope of the rapidly developing new procedures and techniques evolving in dentistry. In addition to his hundreds of hours of postgraduate specialized education, Dr. Le completed a three-year residency program at Esthetic Professionals in Woodland Hills in California, from 2002 to 2005, where he studied, practiced, and developed his expertise in esthetic dentistry. More recently, Dr. Le completed a one-year residency in implantology at the Boston Dental Institute where he qualified under the exacting examination and program guidelines to become a member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) as a certified dental implantologist. His training, his experience, and his pioneering efforts in esthetic dentistry have also made Dr. Le a specialist and a master in the areas of porcelain veneers and dental implants. Dr. Le’s professional memberships include the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the American Dental Association, and the Orange County Dental Society. Dr. Le is also a noted business leader of the Anaheim community. In 2006, the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce awarded 7 Day Dental the Business of the Year Award, and in 2010 conferred the esteemed Business Person of the Year Award upon Dr. Le himself for not only his business achievements, but also for his professional and personal contributions to society. Dr. Le has also received recognition from Top Docs L.A. (http://www.topdocla.com) for his outstanding achievement. For several years, Dr. Le has dedicated his resources, skills, and time to working with organizations and causes that help the less fortunate, as well as youth development and wellbeing, both here and internationally. His philanthropy has included his contribution to the disaster relief efforts after the 2004 tsunami in Thailand, restoration efforts after major conflagrations in Vietnam, and the donation of proceeds from new-patient referrals to the ongoing humanitarian efforts to help the victims of the Fukushima, Japan nuclear plant catastrophe. Previously, Dr. Le donated 20,000 toothbrush kits to the earthquake victims in Haiti. Here at home, Dr. Le spearheaded a team of 14 oral surgeons and 100 volunteers to launch the first annual “Dentists Pulling From the Heart Day” on February 13, 2011, a locally unprecedented collaboration of dental health care providers who performed free extractions and other treatment for the indigent and those who cannot afford to pay for basic dental care, in order to relieve their pain from neglected teeth and to raise awareness of the importance of good dental care. Orange County Supervisor Janet Nguyen personally recognized 7 Day Dental and the team for the selfless donation of their time and care they made to the community to alleviate those suffering, particularly children. In fact, Dr. Le’s love for children and his concern for their well-being has become an even higher priority in both his professional and his personal life since becoming a father himself, and he continues to provide sponsorships to the Y.M.C.A., as well as being a regular benefactor to several local youth sports teams. Dr. Le is also actively involved with the youth development program
