Meet Dr. Riddhi Daftary
During her undergraduate years, Dr. Riddhi Daftary became aware of the huge role that smiling plays in a person’s mood. She wrote her thesis, in part, about how smiling can help you feel better, have a better life, and spread more happiness. She knew she wanted to be part of a profession that helped people enjoy smiling more.
Dr. Daftary received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas A&M University, graduating cum laude. Then she received her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree with Interprofessional Honors Distinction from the University of New England College of Dental Medicine. She then completed a residency program in advanced education in general dentistry (AEGD) at New York University.
To further her education, Dr. Daftary also completed a Master of Jurisprudence in Health Law and a Specialization Certificate in Compliance from Loyola University Chicago School of Law, graduating magna cum laude with both.
In addition, Dr. Daftary has completed continuing education in dental implants, laser dentistry, combination inhalation–enteral oral minimal sedation, and Invisalign.
Patients love Dr. Daftary because she enjoys building personal relationships with them. It starts with communication and a commitment to reach her patients on every level. As her patient, you can expect a thorough and gentle exam. She will provide care that is respectful of and responsive to your individual preferences, needs, and values, and together she will help you improve your oral health. She looks forward to becoming your new dental professional and building a lasting relationship with you.
Dr. Daftary is a people person, and to her the best part about being a dentist is helping someone express their happiness. She likes knowing she made a patient’s day easier or better in some way.
Away from the office, Dr. Daftary enjoys spending time with her husband and sons, trying out new vegan recipes, listening to meditation podcasts, and spending time at the beach. They also love spoiling their energetic King Charles Spaniel, Jiya. Her favorite TV show is Friends.

Dr. Shah is committed to providing personalized, compassionate care to every patient he meets. His patient centered approach and commitment to excellence align perfectly with our mission to provide outstanding care.
Patients love Dr. Shah because of his deep compassion and genuine care for their well-being. He’s not just treating teeth—he’s treating people, and it shows. Dr. Shah believes that an informed patient is an empowered patient. He takes time to explain diagnoses, procedures, and preventive care options thoroughly so patients understand their oral health. This patient education approach helps reduce anxiety and promotes a proactive attitude toward dental care.
Outside of dentistry, Dr. Shah loves connecting with others through his hobbies. He’s an avid sports fan (especially of the Lakers), enjoys listening to podcasts, and finds joy in bike rides with his kids that let him unwind and recharge.
