SoCal Sleep Dentistry’s Nina Rastegar:

Transforming Smiles, Leading With Heart

Nina Rastegar, DDS, is a powerhouse in dentistry, seamlessly balancing her roles as a dedicated clinician, business owner, educator, wife and mother. As the lead dentist and co-owner of a thriving dental practice in Westlake Village alongside her husband, Dr. Daniel Kohanchi, a dentist anesthesiologist, she has built a patient-focused sanctuary where cutting-edge technology meets compassionate care.

At the heart of their practice is a mission to provide a stress-free, luxurious dental experience for all patients, especially those with dental anxiety. Specializing in sedation dentistry, Dr. Rastegar and Dr. Kohanchi offer all levels of sedation, from mild relaxation to full sleep, allowing even the most fearful patients to receive the care they need. Their practice is a haven for those who have avoided the dentist for years, patients with special needs and those seeking complex procedures like full-mouth rehabilitation in total comfort.

Ensuring that quality dental care is available to all is a priority for Dr. Rastegar.

“We have served patients from ages 3 to 97!” she notes, adding that everyone is welcome at SoCal Sleep Dentistry. “Our team is dedicated to providing high-quality, safe and efficient outpatient anesthesia services and we tailor our approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each patient, ensuring their comfort and satisfaction.”

Beyond sedation, Dr. Rastegar ensures that every treatment is performed with the highest level of precision and efficiency. Their office is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including CBCT 3D-imaging for accurate diagnostics and treatment planning, as well as the Prime Mill system for same-day, custom-milled restorations. By combining cutting-edge tools with a patient-first approach, Dr. Rastegar is redefining modern dentistry and making comprehensive care more seamless than ever.

With over 1,000 implants placed and extensive experience in treating patients under sedation, Dr. Rastegar has created a judgment-free space where even the most complex dental cases can be treated with ease. Her expertise extends beyond the operatory—she also travels the country educating fellow dentists on full-arch implant restorations, empowering them to elevate patient outcomes.

Beyond her accolades, Dr. Rastegar is a proud female entrepreneur. She expertly balances her career with family life, raising her son, Oliver, while expecting her second baby boy—all while continuing to provide top-tier care to her patients. Practicing dentistry while pregnant is no small feat, but for Dr. Rastegar, it’s just another testament to her dedication, resilience and passion for her craft.

As a leader, mentor and innovator, Dr. Nina Rastegar is a true inspiration—proving that women can excel in their professions, build successful businesses and nurture thriving families, all while transforming the smiles and confidence of those she serves.
