Dr. Sona Bekmezian “Dr. Sona”

Dr. Sona was born in Armenia and moved to southern California with her family when she was two-years-old. She grew up in the sunny San Fernando Valley and completed her undergraduate studies in biology at UCLA. She then moved to San Francisco to pursue her Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree at the University of California, San Francisco. Upon graduation, she worked as a general dentist for two years before returning to UCSF for her orthodontic residency. She concurrently earned a master’s in oral and craniofacial sciences, studying how to protect the teeth from cavities that occur around braces during orthodontic treatment.

She lives in San Francisco with her sister and works at various orthodontic practices around the Bay Area and was thrilled to join the Palo Alto Orthodontics team. When she’s not perfecting smiles alongside Dr. Yoo, Dr. Sona is also working towards starting an orthodontic clinic for children with craniofacial anomalies at Children’s Hospital Oakland.

Dr. Sona isn’t just all about orthodontics. She also loves singing along to Disney soundtracks, exploring the natural beauty of California, experimenting with ingredients in the kitchen and teaching Sunday school for children at her local church.
