Dental Staff

Dr. Paydar received his bachelors of science at the University of California, Davis. He then went on to the University of California, San Francisco School of Dentistry where he received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS), Certificate in Periodontal Surgery and Masters in Oral and Craniofacial Sciences.

He enjoys all things dental-related including research and international dental aide. He has travelled to Jamaica, Haiti and the Dominican Republic to provide free dental services. He looks forward to continuing more of this important humanitarian work with his wife, Ashley, who is a practicing physician in Sacramento.

Dr. Paydar has many interests in dentistry including implant dentistry, soft tissue augmentations and various surgical procedures. He is an active member of American Academy of Periodontology, California Academy of Periodontics, and the American Dental Academy.

His area of research is in the use of platelet rich fibrin in bone healing. He has presented his research both locally and internationally – most recently at the Conference for International Association of Dental Research in Seoul, South Korea. He hopes to continue contributing to the advancement of periodontal research as well as integrating new technology and research in his own practice to better serve his patients.

Dr. Paydar has lived in Northern California since 1998 and returned to the Sacramento area in 2016 after almost a decade living in San Francisco. He loves Northern California, and spends his free time with his family hiking, paddle boarding, photographing the outdoors, trying new restaurants, and exploring the Sacramento area and beyond.

He and his wife recently welcomed their third daughter, Lily, in July 2022. She joins her big sister Lena and Flora and they all look forward to sharing their love of exploration and travel with the newest member of the family.
