Dr. Ava Navasero, DDS grew up in the Bay Area, the Philippines, and Singapore. After all the tropical weather and city life, she went to Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota for her undergraduate degree in Biology and Biochemistry; it was cold and quaint with many fields, unlike Singapore. She spent two months volunteering at a hospital in Japan, and then went to the city of New York for her dental degree at NYU College of Dentistry. Dr. Navasero returned home for her residency at Half Moon Bay, California. She has been working for six years since, and recently moved to Sacramento to be closer to her older sister.
Not a fan of injections or discomfort herself, Dr. Navasero takes great care to try and make patients feel as comfortable as possible during dental procedures. She also values educating patients about their teeth–the “what, how, and why”– to help them feel comfortable and fully aware of what goes on with their treatment. She emphasizes understanding of, “What caused the problem?” so that she can help her patients have lasting treatment and lifelong health. Dr. Navasero values keeping up to date with the ever-growing dental field, and has been attending the Kois Center for further education, as well as working towards certification in dental sleep medicine.
In her free time, Dr. Navasero enjoys spending time with her husband and two black cats. She exercises her precision through sewing, unwinds with videogames, and stays fit with rock climbing.
