Dr. Pouria Maleki graduated from the prestigious school of New York University NYU in 2006 with his Doctor in Dental Surgery (DDS) degree. After spending over four years in New York City, he came back to his native Southern California. After practicing for five years as an associate and supervising dentist, Dr. Maleki felt the passion and urge to go out on his own. Dr. Malekis passion and love for dentistry as an art is evident by his countless hours of continuing education and study clubs. His humor and genuine compassion for his patients makes him unique and one of a kind. Children love him and dental phobics forget their apprehension and fear when they visit him at South Coast Dentistry. You will enjoy his love for all people, his staff, and his patients when you visit, too!

Dr. Malekis experience and realistic, individual approach to you and your family will put you at ease. He will take the time needed for you so that you understand what your options are and how to best accomplish your goals.

In his spare time, Dr. Maleki enjoys being with his family, basketball, soccer, running, remaining active with fellow alumni of his local high school wrestling team, and watching the Lakers. He loves the Lakers!

Growing up in Orange County allows me to know and love our community with all that it offers. I love being a part of my community, it could be surfing at the beach, playing basketball at the gym or helping out the local high school wrestling team. My family is everything to me and I love to spend as much time with them as possible. I am a die hard Lakers fan and have been known to pop up on the jumbo screen at times. Dentistry is my favorite hobby and I enjoy every day that I practice what I love.
