Dr. Ted Baghdasarian | Doctor of Dental Surgery, Pasadena

Dr. Ted Baghdasarian earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the UCLA School of Dentistry, one of the most selective and highly ranked dental programs in the country. Each year, the UCLA School of Dentistry receives close to 10,000 applications and accepts only 88 candidates. Dr. Baghdasarian was among them.

After graduating and completing his state licensure through the Western Regional Board Examination in the same year, Dr. Baghdasarian pursued advanced surgical training through an Oral and Maxillofacial Residency program. This residency gave him hands-on experience treating medically compromised patients across the full scope of outpatient oral surgery, from complex extractions and bone grafting to facial trauma and implant surgery. It is a level of training that goes well beyond what most general dentists in Pasadena can offer.

Over the past 15 years, Dr. Baghdasarian has treated patients across Southern California, from working-class communities in Hawthorne to private practices in Beverly Hills. That range of experience gives him a uniquely broad perspective on oral health and an ability to connect with patients from all walks of life. He brings that same skill and approachability to every patient who walks through the door at Genesis Dental Esthetics.

Dr. Helen Sohn | Doctor of Dental Surgery, Pasadena

Dr. Helen Sohn is also a graduate of the UCLA School of Dentistry, bringing the same evidence-based training and clinical depth that defines the Genesis Dental Esthetics standard of care. Dr. Sohn is well-versed in all aspects of dental medicine and approaches every patient with a commitment to clear communication, thoughtful diagnosis, and a genuine passion for helping people maintain healthy, beautiful smiles. Together, Dr. Baghdasarian and Dr. Sohn form a team whose combined UCLA training provides patients in Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley with a level of expertise that is genuinely difficult to find in a single practice.
