Dr. Dana M. Baba grew up in Simi Valley, CA and developed a passion for dentistry when she was fifteen. She was impressed by the power of transforming smiles and loved that dentistry provides the ability to build long-term relationships with patients. She got her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley while also maintaining her focus on the Pre-Dental track. Dr. Baba then attended the prestigious University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco and graduated with High Honors.
A true public servant, Dr. Baba is currently a commissioned Officer in the United States Navy as a Lieutenant Commander in the Dental Corps and has been serving on Active Duty since 2016. Dr. Baba joined Regents Dental Group in 2021 and has enjoyed the ability to provide dental care to the La Jolla Community.
