Dr. Sepideh Pejham, a University of San Francisco–trained dentist, believes that the secret to maintaining oral health is through preventive care and patient education. To achieve this, Dr. Sepi and her staff perform thorough exams, stress the importance of regular cleanings, and carefully comb through each patient's medical history for factors that may affect their overall health. A member of the American and California dental associations, Dr. Sepi is proficient in a varied list of high-tech dental procedures, and stays on top of new techniques by continually attending dental lectures, meetings, and conventions. From her office on the west edge of the Silicon Valley, Dr. Sepi showers each patient with individualized attention during general checkups or cosmetic services such as teeth whitening or putting up molar holiday lights.
