I absolutely love creating beautiful smiles for my patients. My favorite part is seeing the confidence my patients gain as their smiles transform. I wanted to become an orthodontist since the age of ten after my own positive experience with my childhood orthodontist. Orthodontics integrates my love of art and science. I am so excited to be able to use my knowledge of science and biomechanics and my finesse and attention to detail in the creation of my own art a beautiful smile!
When Im not at work, I love spending time outdoors. My favorite time of year is summer, when I spend my time at the beach, swimming, and boating. I have a love and affinity for travel and experiencing other cultures. I also enjoy exercising, cooking, and a great cup of coffee.
I was born and raised in New Jersey. I began my journey to become an orthodontist at Northeastern University, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude with honors with a Bachelor of Science in Biology Degree. After college, I returned home to New Jersey where I was accepted to Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, where I earned my Doctorate of Dental Medicine, graduating first in my class. While attending Rutgers, I was elected treasurer of my class and started a local chapter of the American Association of Women Dentists. I was also awarded the Bergen Medal in 2015 by Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences Vice-Chancellor of Interprofessional Education Dr. Dense Rodgers, for outstanding academic and professional achievement.
Immediately following dental school, I continued my dental training in a three-year residency at the Rutgers School of Dental Medicine Department of Orthodontics, where I earned my specialty degree in the field of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics and my Masters in Dental Science degree.
I obtained my B.S. degree from the University of Southern California in the summer of 1991. I then moved to Boston to attend Boston University and earned my DMD degree in 1996. Since completing my residency with the Boston University Goldman school of Dental Medicine in 1999, I practiced in the surrounding towns including Chelmsford, Lexington, and the North Shore.
Additionally, I help to educate pre-schools and kindergartens in the surrounding areas on the subject of oral health, by providing them with classes. I have also been featured in and written articles for Momtourage, a local mothers group.
Please feel free to contact the office and arrange a visit. I look forward to meeting all parents, and I will be glad to answer any questions you may have regarding your childrens oral health. I eagerly look forward to treating your children with the best dental care available.

My 10 year old daughter (new patient) was seen for a dental emergency in August where she needed a tooth removed. For an anxious child, we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Dr. Yazdi was amazing with her, so kind and made sure she was happy and comfortable. We really appreciated that they offer laughing gas if you want it (my daughter loved the bubble gum scent and didn't even flinch during the novocaine and tooth removal). She just had a second tooth removed today and skipped right into the office, fearless. Another amazing experience and we are so glad to have found this practice! Thank you Dr. Yazdi and team!

My 5yr old has been seeing Dr Yaz for almost 2 yrs now we've had noting but good experiences with them! My son loves going to the dentist even tho he's had many scary procedures they make him feel comfortable and calm before starting anything and make sure I'm aware of what's going to happen. I would recommend Burlington Children's Dental!

Thought my experience was good; however they had a lack of communication amongst them, that somehow became my issue. The "office manger" whomever she may be, needs a reality check on speaking to people. She must be used to talking down, and saying what she wants to people. Also, according to the office manager, the dentists doesn't speak to the patients, weird huh? She's so used to mistreating people, that when the energy was reciprocated, its rude; baby girl, you are rude, and need customer service class. I am updating my review. Dr. Yazdi reached out to me personally, and we spoke she were able to resolve the issue. As I stated from my opening, my experience was good. The phone conversation directly with Dr. Yazdi, was the same as when we spoke at my son's appointment. Thank You

We are always greeted as soon as we walk in and every employee is very friendly. My 7 year old son is no longer scared to come to the dentist and goes in by himself. They also make my 4 year old feel very comfortable when he feels scared.

My son had an abscess in his gums, caused by an infection, his dentist told us he would have to remove the tooth, and we asked for a second opinion. That's how we got there. It was an extremely traumatic experience for my 5 year old son, the doctor just took a needle and punctured my son's abscess, without warning, without using any type of anesthesia (I even asked for topical cream and he didn't even listen to me) My son cried out in pain, and the doctor just said that it hurt me more than my son! What he did was totally unnecessary, the abscess wouldn't need to be drained because he would take antibiotics to end the infection. Stay aware of this PEDIATRIC DENTIST who does not have any patience to treat children!

This is one of the worst place ever I have visited in my life. Dr. Yazdi is very rude and unprofessional, he finds unnecessary problems and always force patients to get the treatment. I have checked the same problem with other dentist, the second opinion was more acceptable. Anyway, I would not visit this place anymore.

The very best pediatric dentist and office. Yazdi is experienced and calm and kind. He will only drill & fill if needed, and cap only if needed, nothing unnecessary ( unlike other dentists who are drill happy ). we drive over an hour to come to this office just for Dr. Yazdi. With over 20 years of experience he has seen a lot and knows what is truly necessary and not to over do it. He really is the best.

Wonderful Dentist and Staff! I came to him initially with my youngest child who needed helped with a front tooth. I thought for sure my son was going to lose the tooth but Dr.Yazdi was able to save the tooth!! He was very kind towards me as I was upset and scared for my son. I highly recommend this dentist. He is GREAT!! The front desk staff are also great they actually made it fun while I was booking follow up appointments!

My children have adjusted to seeing a dentist so well because of the employees here. They are friendly and very approachable for the kids and do things as the children feel comfortable. I will definitely continue to take my kids here.

My both Kids visiting Dr. Yazdi for almost couple years. I am very pleased with all the treatments Dr. Yazdi did for my Kids. Dr. Yazdi is very experienced and best what he does. I had experienced with other Pediatric dentist, when they filled deep cavities it is almost guarantee that it will turn to abscess and eventual tooth extraction but with Dr. Yazdi that didn't happen, he saved tooth. Very happy with my Kids Dentist.
