Dr. Ailar Bagherdaei is a restorative dentist at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in San Diego, CA. She grew up in Southern California and completed her undergraduate studies at UC Irvine. She earned her dental degree from the University of Michigan and then went on to complete her prosthodontic residency and fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh.
Dr. Bagherdaei has been practicing for about 10 years, including time in Denver where she treated a wide range of complex cases.
She chose dentistry because she liked how quickly she could help patients. Sitting chairside, she could see changes happen in real time. That led her into prosthodontics, where she works on full-mouth rehabilitation and rebuilding smiles from the ground up.
Dr. Bagherdaei joined Nuvia because the process helps patients get their smiles back very efficiently. Patients don’t go through months of temporary teeth or repeated visits. With teeth in 24 hours, they leave with a fixed, permanent teeth the very next morning after surgery.
She also appreciates how the team is structured at Nuvia. Each person has a role, from lab to surgery to restoration, and everything is coordinated ahead of time. That helps cases stay on track and keeps the experience smooth for patients.
Lastly, she has worked with many materials over the years and prefers zirconia (which is what Nuvia uses) for full mouth restoration cases. It holds up better and doesn’t run into the same issues as temporary dentures during healing.
Outside of work, Dr. Bagherdaei spends most of her time with her family. She has two young children and enjoys cooking, watching movies, and being outdoors with them.
