Our Amazing Doctors

Dr. Dara Kimia D.M.D.

Dr. Kimia grew up in Montreal, Canada where he attended Dental School at the tender age of 17 and received his DMD degree in 2004 at the age of 23. He served as an Alpha Omega president, as well as the Dental Student Body President for two years. 

After 15 yeas of brutal winters, he started his southwestern journey with a rather small move to Rochester, NY where he completed his AEGD residency. He remained and practiced in upstate New York till 2008 before moving to Scottsdale, AZ. After 5 years spent in the heat of the desert, and constant petitioning from family members, he finally surrendered and moved to Southern California in 2013.

He has diverse interests, first and foremost he is a huge sports fan and played baseball and hockey his whole life until the burden of dental school forced him into early retirement. Having grown up in Montreal, naturally he is a die hard Canadiens fan, as many of you know by now.

He speaks several languages and is fascinated by history, foreign cultures, politics and financial markets. As far as dentistry goes, as he says, he has been very fortunate over the years to work alongside great mentors who conveyed to him their knowledge and expertise in different disciplines. He truly enjoys all aspects of the dental field but excels in full mouth rehabilitation cases, smile design and surgery. His philosophy has always been to educate his patients, present them with all possible options as well as the pros and cons that go alongside them.

In our society today, there are very few dental offices remaining such as this one, a family oriented environment where patients truly come first. Our office always believes in giving back; on a yearly basis, Dr. Kimia and Cristina accompany UCLA students on a volunteer dental trip to remote, underprivileged and disaster stricken areas around the world in order to educate and provide access to care. This year's trip was to remote villages of the Dominican Republic closer to the Haitian border.
