Meet Drs. Derek Chenet and Veronica Yu
Dear Dr. Wilson’s patients and their families,
Our names are Derek Chenet and Veronica Yu, and we feel incredibly fortunate and honored that
Dr Wilson has entrusted us with your dental care. After getting to know Dr Wilson over the last year and
realizing that our values and treatment philosophies align, we all feel this transition makes sense. In our
search for the “right” practice, we wanted to find an office that is patient centered, values the latest
technology and advancements in dentistry, and provides high quality and lasting dentistry. That is exactly
what Dr Wilson has built, and we are excited to continue that legacy.
Dr. Yu, a native of Madison CT, is delighted to return to the Shoreline with her family to serve
the community she holds dear to her heart. After graduating from Brown University, Dr. Yu graduated
with honors from Columbia University College of Dental Medicine. She then completed a general
practice residency at North Shore Long Island Jewish Hospital. Dr. Yu, known for her gentle touch and
demeanor, appreciates getting to know each of her patients and improving their oral healthcare. She also
enjoys educating her patients on the links between oral health and one’s overall health; she applied her
passion for education as an instructor at the hygiene school at Eastern Florida State College. Dr. Yu is
well-versed in CAD/CAM technology, and is an Invisalign certified provider.
Dr. Chenet is a newcomer to Connecticut but is already loving his new home, much to his wife’s
delight! He graduated from Duke University before moving to New York City. There, he graduated with
honors from Columbia University’s College of Dental Medicine where he met his lovely wife, Veronica.
Afterwards, he completed a two year general practice residency at the Bronx VA Medical Center where
he received extensive training in restorative dentistry and prosthodontics, endodontics, oral surgery, and
dental implants. Since then, Dr Chenet has strived to stay at the forefront of dentistry and has become a
Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, a member of Academy of Osseointegration, a member of
the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, and a Spear Faculty Club member. After practicing in
Florida, he decided he wanted to move to the shoreline of Connecticut where his wife grew up. He is so
happy to call the Nutmeg State home – just give him some tips to survive the winter. He is excited to
bring new, cutting-edge technologies like dental photography, CAD/CAM, and 3D printing to the
practice.
In our spare time we enjoy cooking together, watching sports – especially tennis for Dr Yu – and
hiking and exploring new areas of Connecticut. Lately, we devote most of our time to our two year old
daughter, Evelyn. If you would like to learn more about us, please read our biographies on the office
website. You are also invited to the office open house on Saturday October 19 from 9-11am! We are
excited to raise our family here and look forward to meeting each of you. Choosing a dentist is an
important decision, and we feel honored to be called your family dentist.
