Dr. Dean Azzeh comes to Southern California from Harvard University. His excellence in orthodontic practice is a result of a four year rigorous training program, twice the time frame an average orthodontist is trained in. His training in orthodontics was concurrently paralleled by his scholarly endeavors which earned him a Doctor of Medical Sciences Degree/Phd in Growth and Development from Harvard Medical School. Upon graduation, he was awarded the most prestigious degree amongst his peers, the James Shaw award.
Dr. Azzeh is a board certified orthodontist, an honor earned by less than 25% of all orthodontists in the United States. To become a member of the American board of Orthodontics, one must pass rigorous tests and take re-certification exams. One must also strictly adhere to the highest standards of care and abide by all the laws and regulations of the board. A dentist who graduates from a specialty program becomes an orthodontic specialist who is eligible to become board certified through the voluntary examination process of the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO).
His philosophy accentuates the importance of remaining at the forefront of the advancements in the profession which he’s been contributing to by his publications since 2002. He is the editor of the two premier journals in the field. He is also an interviewer for Harvard College admissions.
Dr. Azzeh’s professional affiliations include: The American Dental Association, American Association of Orthodontics, the California Dental Association, the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists and the Harvard Society for the Advancement of Orthodontics.
Dr. Azzeh is committed to being a leader in his profession. His relentless pursuit of excellence and his use of special appliance systems and memory wires allows for fewer visits and faster treatment for his patients. His emphasis on keeping up-to-date with the latest advancements in orthodontics and on patient care and comfort enables him to provide the best quality of care for his patients.

11 months agoDr. Dean is fantastic! He is honest with what your child needs now or can wait on for their age after looking at the X-rays. Felt no pressure, he is honest and gives options. Jenn was great! She was so kind and made my son completely at ease. She took time to listen to my sons concerns and needs when putting on his next set of brackets and coaching him through his next steps. Can’t wait to see her the next follow up visit! So happy there is a Newport Beach office along with Irvine, so we can visit close to home for checkups!
