Dental Staff

It is well established that the mouth is the window to our health so it is critical to work with a practitioner who aligns with your values.

While working on my undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Southern California, I began working with kids and teaching them about oral health through Young and Healthy Pasadena's First Grade Dental Education Program. I then continued to volunteer and provide free dentistry for underserved kids through the well-respected USC Mobile Dentistry program while continuing my dental education at the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC.

Upon graduation, I decided to continue working with children and joined the family-oriented team at Western Avenue Dental. I believe the most rewarding parts of my profession are focusing on disease prevention and early intervention, nutrition education, and creating a positive environment for kid's to grow up loving the dentist! It is my deep rooted philosophy to treat children holistically and to ensure they feel seen, safe, and soothed during all stages of their dental experiences.

I am currently working on becoming a Fellow through the Academy of General Dentistry and commit to the pursuit of education, professionalism, and advocacy daily. Outside of dentistry, I enjoy traveling to expand my horizons, cooking plant-based meals to nourish my body, and practicing yoga and meditation to bridge my spirit and human experiences.

I look forward to meeting you and caring for your loved ones.

With Love and Gratitude,

Dr. Nicole Mahdavi
