Dr. Pedraum Heydari, DMD, DICOI

Born in Seattle and raised in Kent, Dr. Pedraum Heydari is proud to serve the communities of the South Puget Sound that helped shape him. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Cellular, Molecular, and Developmental Biology from the University of Washington, where his passion for dentistry began while volunteering and working as a dental assistant at the UW Dental Urgent Care Clinic and the Union Gospel Mission. His experience caring for underserved populations deepened his commitment to community-focused healthcare and solidified his path toward dentistry.

Dr. Heydari went on to earn his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health, along with a Certificate in Public Health. After graduation, he returned to the Pacific Northwest to begin his career—bringing his skills back to the region that raised him.

Dedicated to clinical excellence, Dr. Heydari is one of fewer than 1,200 dentists to graduate from the prestigious Kois Center, a world-renowned postgraduate program focused on advanced dental techniques. He is also a Diplomate of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI), reflecting his extensive expertise in implant dentistry.

Dr. Heydari is an active member of the American Dental Association, Washington State Dental Association, Pierce County Dental Society, International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. He frequently attends continuing education courses and study clubs to stay at the forefront of dental advancements and provide the highest level of care to his patients.

“General dentistry is amazing because it allows me to solve complex problems for my patients using a variety of skill sets—whether restorative, cosmetic, prosthodontic, endodontic, or surgical. My goal is always to educate, deliver beautiful results, and have fun while doing it,” he says.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Heydari enjoys everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer — from hiking and golfing to spending time with family. He shares his life with his beloved service dog, Toby, and proudly embraces his title as a self-proclaimed foodie.
