Meet Parasteh Malihi, DMD in Torrance

Dr. Parasteh Malihi is committed to patient comfort, thoughtful communication, and delivering personalized care that supports each patient’s long-term oral health.

She earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine while concurrently completing a Master of Law (ML) at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School.

She then completed a two-year General Practice Residency at NYU Langone Health in Brooklyn, New York, where she served as Chief Resident during her second year. During her residency, she provided comprehensive dental care including emergency treatment, restorative dentistry, crowns and bridges, implant restorations, molar root canal therapy, and care for medically complex patients.

At SmileWell, Dr. Malihi is passionate about building strong relationships with her patients and helping them understand the connection between healthy living, excellent oral hygiene, and long-term wellness. Her goal as a dentist is to address concerns early and help patients leave feeling better than when they arrived. She takes time to listen, explains treatment options clearly, and recommends care that fits each person rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
