Her knowledge and skills in cultural diversity began at a young age in Nigeria, North Africa. After elementary school, she returned to her hometown in southern India which was rich in French and Vietnamese culture. Needless to say, she learned French as her second language in addition to Indian dialects. She also learned to relish the various exotic cuisines of the world.
In short, Dr. Selvanathan has seen and worked in dentistry in several countries. This awareness of cultural diversity and her linguistic skills, not to mention her knowledge and experience in dentistry are what makes Dr. Nathalie Selvanathan unique and able to provide quality care with integrity, respect, and compassion.
When she is not at work, she loves spending time with her family. Her husband, Dr. Karthik Raghuraman, and their two daughters love outdoor activities including cycling and kayaking. Dr. Nathalie Selvanathan has learned classical dance and loves embroidery. She applies her artistry to her work and brings out the art and science of dentistry which can be seen in her lab work and intraoral work.
Dr. Karthik Raghuraman is a graduate of the University of California, San Francisco. He has been practicing since 2005 in the central valley. He loves endodontics and is one of the few general dentists who is a member of the American Academy of Endodontics. His hobbies include biking and playing tennis. His best moments are time with his family.

I first visited this office after several poor experiences at other offices that also eventually lead to a tooth infection. I am glad that I found this place and consider myself extremely lucky. Dr. Selvanathan has always been friendly, kind and I feel like everyone working at pristine dental really care and have your best interests at heart. So I always recommend them to anyone I meet and tell them how great my experiences with this office have been. I've gotten my first implant here, been treated for a tooth infection, received a cap on one of my teeth and come here for regular dental care and cleaning. The hygienist here is also amazing and does an awesome job! Really recommend this place if you are looking for a new dental office.

Dr. Katz was an excellent dentist and I was so grateful for all he had done for me. The transition to Dr. Natalie was beautifully executed and I appreciate the care that went into it. I am now fully confident in Dr. Natalie's expertise. I would highly recommend her as a dentist

I noticed immediately the first rate care and consideration taken to provide an excellent visit with everything already in place to maximize efficiency and deliver such competent, gentle care with excellent communication. Dr. Nathalie Selvanathan has all the qualities that one desires in a dentist, which I consider the most important member of my overall health team. It was so refreshing to find myself in the care of Pristine Family Dentistry. The dental assistant, Shilpa, is equally top notch and so lovely that relaxation comes easily. Dental hygienist, Carolyn, has the best skills needed for her job, too. Such a good, light touch with total dedication to giving the cleanest teeth result and guides the patient to give more attention where needed with helpful hints. A very fastidiously clean and welcoming practice where it is clear what great teamwork is functioning for the patient's best results. The knowledge and integrity of these individuals for their patient's good is very gratefully received when one has experienced a different mode of operation where trust was not gained. I am so thankful that my husband found this wonderfully skilled office for our needs and the peace that comes with knowing this level of expertise is available to us.

Dr. Selvanathan is a great dentist! She's is extremely kind and very caring. Although she is very intelligent and extremely professional I feel totally comfortable in asking questions about my treatment because I know I will be given explanations that I can understand. I would definitely recommend her office! The staff there is also great!

Dr Katz is the most compassionate, caring, considerate Dentist I have EVER been to. He took in my disease and took care of my mouth without a blink!! And not to mention my anxiety issues!! I usually refuse to have to any dental work done without anesthesia, and he has done sooo much work on my mouth without using a drop!! He's a true star Absolutely LUV LUV LUV his staff!!
