Jackie Chima

Registered Dental Hygienist, also known as our Confidence Creator

Jackie has been a beloved part of the TDC family for over 23 years—and there’s no place she’d rather be. One visit from a dental professional in her 5th grade classroom sparked her curiosity in dentistry. That moment planted a seed, and years later, Jackie discovered that dental hygiene was her true calling. With advanced training in laser therapy, sedation, oral cancer screening, nutrition, and more, she brings not just clinical skill but deep care to every guest she meets. She especially loves turning anxiety into comfort, helping guests understand the power of oral health, and building trust across generations—caring for parents, children, and even grandchildren who now call TDC home.

Outside the office, you’ll find Jackie spending time with her husband, daughter, and their beloved black Lab. She loves to garden, hike, travel, and recently discovered a new creative outlet in painting. Her grandmother’s quiet strength and empathy continue to inspire the way she shows up every day—with attentiveness, intuition, and heart. To Jackie, a smile isn’t just a transformation—it’s a lifelong gift of confidence.

Fun fact

I’ve recently fallen in love with painting—it allows me the freedom to create something without rules or boundaries.

The TDC behavior that moves me

We are all leaders. I treat each guest as I would hope to be treated. This resonates in all that I do. Their comfort and my understanding of their needs is my top priority.

My happy place in Turlock

I love a variety of local restaurants and shops. I'm also a sucker for TJ Maxx and Ross, to find new treasures or must haves.
