Dr. Morvarid (Mori) Aletomeh, DMD, FRCD(C), Diplomate ABPD

Dr. Mori, as most of her patients call her, is from Vancouver, Canada. From a young age she enjoyed working with children so she followed her passion by entering a profession where she can help and work with them on a daily basis. As a pediatric dentist, her goal is to ensure her patients receive the very best care and have a positive dental experience.

She received her Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition at University of British Columbia and then her Dental degree in 2011. She completed a year of General Practice Dentistry at ULCA and decided to pursue her career providing care for children. Doctor Mori received her post-graduate training in Pediatric Dentistry from the world-renowned Eastman Dental Center, which is currently a department of the University of Rochester, in Rochester, New York.

Doctor Mori has volunteered locally and internationally with Hearts with Hope foundations, providing treatment to children in Peru, Give-Kids-A-Smile day, and the Special Olympics. She has been involved with the craniofacial team at the University of Rochester, where they provided NAM (Nasoalveolar Molding) to patients with cleft lip and palate.

Doctor Mori is in active standing with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), California Society of Pediatric Dentistry (CSPD), American Dental Association (ADA), and the California Dental Association (CDA). She is a fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada where she is a Board Certified Pediatric dentist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. When she is not practicing dentistry she likes to spend time with family and friends, hike, exercise at Orange Theory Fitness, ski and travel!
