From as early as four years old, Dr. Shady Shaaban was drawn to the world of dentistry, inspired by his father's dedication to helping others through his dental practice. This early exposure not only sparked his interest but set him on a path to fulfilling his own dreams of becoming a restorative dentist, a dream that has now come to fruition as he serves with the Nuvia team in Fullerton, CA.

‍

Dr. Shaaban first lived in the US as a high school exchange student. It was during this time that he fell in love with the Midwest and would return to the States frequently in the following years. It was during the 4th year being in the US that he met his wife.  Once he completed his dental training and became certified and licensed as a restorative dentist, he practiced in the Midwest. Although he loves the midwestern states, he and his family eventually moved to California seeking a warmer climate.
