A Passion for Excellence
Get To Know Dr. Nika Padyab
Dr. Padyab's journey to dentistry began after she moved to Arizona in 2004, where she attended middle school and high school in Chandler. She was first drawn to the profession by the warm, inviting atmosphere of her family dentist's office. These visits never felt clinical—they were more like gathering with friends. Seeing a team that truly loved caring for patients inspired her to volunteer at a non-profit dental clinic and explore the field firsthand.
During her volunteer work, Dr. Padyab had an eye-opening realization: oral health is critically important yet often overlooked. She discovered how our teeth impact everything from our ability to speak and smile to our overall confidence and wellbeing. This powerful insight transformed her interest into a true calling.
After earning her Bachelor's degree from Arizona State University, Dr. Padyab completed her Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences at Midwestern University, where her thesis focused on antibiotic resistance. She then achieved her Doctorate of Dental Medicine from Midwestern University in Glendale, AZ, building the expertise that defines her practice today.
Dr. Padyab founded Vibrant Smiles with a clear mission: to provide every patient with exceptional, personalized care. She is committed to helping patients achieve beautiful, confident smiles in a comfortable, welcoming environment. She cherishes the relationships she builds and is dedicated to making every visit a positive experience.
Beyond her private practice, Dr. Padyab shares her expertise as an adjunct faculty member at Midwestern University's dental simulation clinic, mentoring the next generation of dental professionals. She proudly serves on the College of Dental Medicine Arizona's alumni council and continuously enhances her skills through continuing education.
When she's not creating beautiful smiles, Dr. Padyab loves traveling and spending quality time with her husband and their three playful rescue dogs—Lulu, Remy and Enzo—who keep life exciting with daily adventures!
