I began my journey in the dental field in 2014 as a dental assistant, which inspired me to attend dental school in 2015. I received my dental degree from Harvard School of Dental Medicine in 2019, and completed an advanced general residency at UCLA in 2020.
The most fulfilling part of working as a dentist is helping patients achieve their oral health care goals and getting to that beautiful smile that not only improves their self-esteem but quality of life. I also feel so fortunate to work with a team of amazing people with the same vision and compassion to help our patients.
I love being back in the Pacific Northwest and often take advantage of all the beauty and nature this area offers. In my free time, I enjoy traveling and hiking with my golden retriever named Wally. I also snowboard during the winter season.
We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.
I started my career in the dental field in 2007 as a registered dental assistant after graduating from The Occupational Skills Center. Ive worked at many dental practices but truly love being a part of our offices family!Here at Valley Dental Center, I work hard to build relationships with our patients while helping with all their scheduling and accounting needs. The Valley Dental Center team islike my extended family and I enjoy coming to work to get to spend time working with such a smart and caring group. We work well together to achieve our common goal of creating a warm and inviting office for our patients.
I started my dental career in 2017 when I graduated from Pima Medical Institute. I love haveing the ability to help my patients get the detanl care they need and make it as fun of a process as possible! When I'm not at the office I love shopping, going out to eat at local resteraunts and going out with friends.

Update Oct 2022: I'm not exactly sure what happened to this place but Dr. Sangha left, the office staff, dentists, and dental hygienists are all new. I went in to get a chipped tooth repaired and the new dentist who I've never seen before said that I need braces. As I checked out, the snotty office person said that the owner of the company said that they are no longer excepting my insurance starting in January. I don't know if they changed management but it used to be a nice place to go and feel safe and comfortable. It went completely downhill. I am low income, immunocompromised, and disabled. This is not a place that has any empathy for people like me. It is all about profits. Previously 5 stars (2021): I have been extremely afraid of going to the dentist since I was a small child when I was victimized by a Tacoma dentist (who by the way is still in practice). Due to the trauma caused by him, it is really hard for me to trust dentists and dental assistants. Dr Nikki, Ari, and the rest of the staff are gentle, understanding, and thorough. Everyone makes sure you are ok when they are working on you and they engage with you. The office is very clean and staff members wear their masks correctly. The office is in Renton which is a hassle for me since I live in Tacoma, but I deal with it because I get quality care from Dr. Nikki and her team.

Update: I have no idea what happened to Dr. Sangha, but she is no longer practicing at this location. The new dentist (don't even know her name, no introduction) has an awkward beside manner and took my glasses off my face during a procedure, without asking me or telling me she was doing so. Just very uncomfortable. Also, the restroom for guests is very unclean. I wish I was exaggerating, but it is gross, and that does not give me confidence in the cleanliness of the rest of the office. Once I finish an ongoing treatment, I will no longer visit this practice. Original: The Valley Dental office was very tidy and clean. I was assisted by Ari, who was warm and friendly when asking about my dental history and taking my X-rays. Dr. Sangha did not rush my evaluation; she took her time to describe problem areas I need to be aware of when brushing and clearly explained a future dental procedure I will need to have. Very positive experience overall.

The dentist and staff here are all super nice. The dentist is through and explains everything of what needs to be done for your oral health. I would recommend them to anyone needing a new dentist.

Everyone was super nice at Valley Dental! I actually had fun at the dentist's - which is something I never imagined I would say but it is true. Everyone was so kind and inviting to talk to, and offered quality care. The office space was clean and well decorated as well.

Everyone was really nice and the office is really clean. I just felt that the hygienist was a little rough and the cleaning could have been a lot more thorough. I waited a long time for my appointment in the waiting room so I guess I expected them to be extra thorough, but they were kind of rushed instead.

If you're looking for a new Dentist I highly recommend Dr. Nikki Sangha, D.M.D. at Valley Dental Center. It had been a few years since I had seen a dentist so I was a bit nervous for my cleaning but Dr. Nikki Sangha instantly put my nerves at ease with her warm and welcoming presence. She made sure I was comfortable throughout my entire cleaning and she was so efficient and thorough. I was very impressed with my cleaning and so happy to finally have my teeth cleaned after a few years of not seeing a dentist. I was worried I would experience pain or sensitivity but Dr. Nikki Sangha was so gentle and the entire process was overall a great experience. Not only does Dr. Nikki Sangha have great energy but her staff does as well. My assistant for the day was Jenni and she was so friendly, knowledgeable, kind and was an absolute sweetheart. If you're looking for a place that truly values their patients and a place where you will feel comfortable and at ease then definitely check out Valley Dental Center.

Depression can sometimes manifest itself as poor dental hygiene. So I called.. ..and I lucked into a same day appointment for a cleaning that's been overdue since before covid lockdown. Ari (dental assistant, rad af) found room in the schedule for me. She is pleasant on the phone as well as in person. So I put on my adult pants and did the thing! Dr. Sangha with her assistant Becca completed a full intake examination, x-rays, cleaning, flossing, polishing and all, in under an hour. Doc gave me some tough love advice that felt explanatory without being patronizing or condescending. They didn't include anything unnecessary in my treatment plan: brush twice & floss once daily, come back in 6 months. They have all brand new equipment (SUPER soft chairs) and the place looks & smells very clean. They do take your temperature when you're signing in and I noticed that everyone was using hand sanitizer regularly. I don't think I will be going back to my old dentist.

Dr. Sangha is such a sweet and knowledgable dentist. She knows how important it is for her patients to be informed about their care, and she was so careful and aware of my experience while I was getting work done. Going to the dentist can be scary for people, but with Dr. Sangha I feel at ease and in good hands.
