Meet Dr. Dharmini

After attending Cornell University as an undergraduate, Dr. Dharmini pursued a doctorate in dentistry and Ph.D. in dental and craniofacial skeletal biology at the University of Connecticut. With great appreciation and understanding of the growth and development of pediatric patients, she was accepted to a unique and competitive residency program combining both pediatric dentistry and orthodontics of all ages at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Dr. Dharmini’s passion for the oral health of her patients spans from cavity to crooked tooth and everything in between, with the utmost concern for establishing a highly esthetic result. Dr. Dharmini recognizes the sensitive position of providing care for children, “It is my goal to make sure patients from my practice do not develop the anxiety towards the dentist that is so prevalent.”  

With her strong focus on children, Dr. Dharmini also engages with adolescents and adult patients for their orthodontic care. She understands the approach for one patient is never identical to the next and tailors treatment to each individual’s needs. She says, “The ability to shape and create each patient’s best self through orthodontic treatment and the impact it has on a person’s health and well-being is absolutely priceless.” 

Outside of practice, Dr. Dharmini enjoys the weekends by running after her boys, playing with the dogs in the yard, and cooking a new dish.
