Dr. Mary Lou Murtha, in San Diego

Dr. Paul Mirdamadi is the oral & maxillofacial surgeon at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in San Diego. Dr. Mirdamadi received his training from Montefiore Medical Center where he worked closely with general dentists and prosthodontists using lots of different restorative materials.

‍

His passion for oral and maxillofacial surgery stems from the transformative impact he can make on patients’ lives, helping them achieve beautiful, functional smiles.

‍

Why Nuvia?

Dr. Mirdamadi is thrilled to be part of Nuvia where he helps patients get life-changing smile transformations every day. At Nuvia, patients are given their permanent teeth made from zirconia. Zirconia is a highly durable and realistic looking material that Dr. Mirdamadi loves to work with.

‍

Outside of the Office

In his free time, Dr. Mirdamadi enjoys staying active and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. He loves spending quality time with his family, traveling, and playing sports like tennis and basketball. 

‍

He also volunteers regularly, finding fulfillment in serving his community.

‍

Dr. Mary Lou Murtha was inspired to pursue dentistry by her mother, who was also a dentist. Growing up in the Philippines, Dr. Murtha has fond memories of patients visiting their family home for treatment—and always leaving with a smile. That early experience shaped her deep passion for patient care and set her on the path to becoming a dentist herself.

‍

Why Nuvia

Dr. Murtha had looked into many other dental offices but it wasn’t until she came across Nuvia in San Diego that she felt she had found somewhere that had core values that aligned with her own. 

‍

As someone who is incredibly patient focused, Dr. Murtha loves that she can provide patients with their permanent teeth in 24 hours, a starkly different method to traditional methods that have patients waiting for what could be up to 10+ months for their permanent teeth.

‍

Outside of the Office

Dr. Murtha loves spending time with her husband and two daughters. Together they love going on hikes, visiting waterfalls, or cooking.

As Dr. Smith began his dental education, he quickly felt it begin to click with both his creative side and scientific interests. He has loved every moment of the last 20 years working in dentistry.

‍

He got his dental degree from University of the Pacific where he had the opportunity to work with many professionals and mentors. Dr. Smith then began his own private practice where he gained extensive experience with restorative dentistry. 

‍

Why Nuvia

Dr. Smith has always loved helping change people’s lives through dentistry. He was drawn to Nuvia’s patient-focused approach and the opportunity to help patients restore their smiles with permanent teeth in 24 hours.

‍

Dr. Smith reminds patients that they have a team of caring and highly-experienced individuals at the San Diego Nuvia. Patients aren’t alone going through the smile restoration process, the Nuvia team is cheering them on. 

‍

Outside of the Clinic

When he isn’t working, Dr. Smith enjoys being on the ocean racing Hawaiian style canoes. He also loves spending time with his family, walking his dogs and traveling with his wife. 

‍

Dr. Smith also enjoys cooking, his favorite dishes being those with fish.
