Dr. Khalepari, known affectionately by his patients as Dr. K, is the best dentist near you. He has had a lifelong fascination with the complex systems that make up the human body.

Dr. K began his journey at California State University, Northridge, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in 2000. Next, he attended Tufts University School of Dental Medicine where he graduated with his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree in 2004.

To this day, Dr. K continues to develop his knowledge base by attending continuing education trainings and seminars in areas of special interest, like CEREC restorations and cosmetic veneers. In fact, Dr. K’s extensive training and over 8 years of hands-on experience designing, fabricating, and placing one-day dental crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers have merited statewide recognition as a CEREC expert.
