Meet the Team

Amy Monti, DDS

Dr. Monti has been living in Southern California since 1988, earning her Bachelor and D.D.S. degrees from UCLA (heads up-she's a devoted fan). Looking for a change of scenery, Dr. Monti completed her residency in Pediatric Dentistry in Boston at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine and Children's Hospital. After two New England winters, she felt that it was time to return to southern California sun and she currently lives in Valencia with her husband, Ryan and children, Joseph and Elizabeth. She enjoys exercising, attending Dodger games, and cheering for the UCLA football team. She is, demonstrably, a sports nut.

Dr. Monti is a Diplomat of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. She is also part-time faculty in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at UCLA and an active member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, American and California Dental Associations, California Society of Pediatric Dentistry and Southern California Society of Dentistry for Children.
