Dedicated to Your Best Smile

Dentist serving La Jolla & Chula Vista

Dr. Seraj earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from UCLA and later served as a UCLA faculty member, helping train future dentists while continuing to deepen her own clinical expertise.

As a cosmetic dentist in La Jolla and an implant dentist serving both La Jolla and Chula Vista, her commitment to continuing education includes advanced training in Lumineers, dental implants, and Invisalign, along with ongoing study in cosmetic, restorative, and comprehensive dentistry.

Before treatment begins, she takes time to understand each patient's goals, concerns, and comfort level, whether planning a smile makeover, a restorative visit, or urgent support through emergency dentistry.

Her commitment to care extends beyond the office through volunteer work with Kids International Dental Services (KIDS), bringing dental treatment to underserved children across the globe.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Seraj enjoys traveling the world and spending time with her Pomeranian, Leo.

"Dr. Seraj is literally the best. The most important quality being she cares and she has the skills. The staff is equally awesome. And I have had a mountain of work done including implants. I had been to other dentists that clearly only cared about sales. Elite Smiles of La Jolla cares about you."
