Dr. Melissa Khoury was born and raised in Southern California and is grateful to care for families in the place she has always called home. She earned both her Doctor of Dental Surgery and her Master of Science in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics from Loma Linda University. After completing dental school, Dr. Khoury practiced as a general dentist for three years. During that time, she found herself especially drawn to the blend of artistry, detail, and long-term patient relationships that orthodontics offers. Her experiences as a general dentist strengthened her desire to pursue specialty training and opened the door to the career she feels deeply connected to today.

Dr. Khoury values creating a calm, welcoming environment for patients of all ages. As a mother of two young daughters, she understands the importance of patience, comfort, and trust in the dental setting. She feels privileged to walk alongside families throughout their orthodontic care and to witness the confidence that comes with a healthy, beautiful smile.

As a first-generation Lebanese American and active member of the Orthodox Christian community, Melissa holds culture, faith, and family at the heart of her life. Outside her orthodontic practice, she loves anything that involves her husband, daughters, and golden retriever- being outdoors, staying active, traveling, Disney trips, and cooking!
