For many, high school can be a time of great uncertainty and confusion-, but not for Dr. Heyrani. By the time she graduated, she knew exactly what she wanted to be: a dentist.
For Dr. Nahal Heyrani, cosmetic and general dentistry provided the perfect opportunity to combine her passion for science and deep interest in art. After completing her studies at the University of California, Irvine School of Biological Sciences, Dr. Heyrani went on to obtain her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the UCLA School of Dentistry.
Dr. Heyrani continued her dental education and training at the prestigious Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, where she performed her general practice residency.
While in dental school, Dr. Heyrani was invited to join the distinguished Alpha Omega Dental Fraternity, the oldest organization of its kind in the world. Dr. Heyrani also belongs to the American Dental Association, the California Dental Association and the Academy of General Dentistry.
Dr. Heyrani is fluent in English, Spanish and Farsi. She uses her expertise in cosmetic and implant dentistry to care for her patients and particularly enjoys working with patients of all ages to help them overcome their fears and to help them get the smile they desire in a comfortable and family oriented setting. Dr. Heyrani believes that prevention, education and regular visits are the best way to avoid discomfort and maintain exceptional oral health.
Dr. Pejman Nasibi initially started his career as an engineer after receiving his degree in dual biomedical and electrical engineering from the University of Southern California, USC . He worked as an information technology consultant for one of the leading consulting firms in the country. However, his life-long passion for technology, art, mentoring and helping others ultimately led him to pursue a career in dentistry. Dr. Nasibi obtained his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the UCLA School of Dentistry.
Dr. Nasibi then decided to specialize in orthodontics in order to combine his engineering and dental knowledge to create amazing and life-lasting smiles. His dream has always been to provide the highest quality of care by focusing and understanding the root cause of problems. Dr. Nasibi takes his time to get to know every patient on a personal level. He enjoys sharing his life stories with patients and motivates them to thrive in all aspects of life. He believes that during the two years his patients are under orthodontic treatment, he can encourage them to become more successful by applying personal and motivational coaching.
His treatment philosophy focuses on treating TMJ, sleep apnea and severe dental malocclusion. He believes that controlling tongue habits from as early as 7 years old can help minimize the need for future complex orthodontic treatment. Having a healthy bite prevents jaw joint pain, facial muscle pain and headaches. Dr. Nasibi recommends that children begin to see an orthodontist as early as age 7 even though they still have their primary teeth. This is because a better orthodontic outcome can be achieved through treatment before completion of growth (which takes place during ages 9-12). Dr. Nasibi uses traditional braces, Invisalign, or the combination of braces and Invisalign to achieve the highest quality of care.
Dr. Nasibi is a member of Alpha Omega Dental Fraternity, the American Dental Association, the California Dental Association and the American Association of Orthodontist
