Meet Dr. Navid Javadi

An experienced La Mesa dentist who believes real connection and trust come first.

More than a Career—A Calling That Grew Over Time

What began as a practical path evolved into a deep passion for the craft.

From an early age, Dr. Navid Javadi felt drawn to both science and craftsmanship. Growing up in a family of physicians, he developed a deep respect for medicine and caring for others. At the same time, he found satisfaction in working with his hands—shaping, refining, and paying attention to the smallest details.

Dentistry became the natural intersection of those passions, blending medical knowledge with artistry and precision. Over time, that interest grew into a deep commitment to the profession.

He’s especially drawn to full-mouth rehabilitation and dental implants, where careful planning, surgical skill, and artistic restorative detail must work together. He finds these cases both challenging and intellectually rewarding.

After several years practicing general dentistry in Tempe, Arizona, Dr. Javadi relocated to San Diego in 2010 and purchased his own practice, now known as Javadi Smiles.

He built the practice around a clear philosophy: Uncompromised Family Dentistry—care that is thoughtful, respectful, and done right the first time.

Detail-Oriented Precision
He notices the small things. The way your bite meets. The way a margin sits. The way a restoration feels when you close your teeth together. That careful attention reflects how he approaches his craft. Thorough planning and steady hands guiding every step.

Trustworthy, Steady Care
You won’t feel pushed toward treatment you do not need. If something can wait, he will tell you. If it needs attention, he will explain why in a clear way. And if a situation falls outside his scope, he will guide you to a trusted specialist without hesitation.
