Meet Dr. Sonia Vanmali, DMD

Dental Care Experience

Dr. Vanmali was born and raised in sunny Southern California. She earned her bachelor’s degree in biological sciences at the University of California, Irvine, before attending Roseman University of Health Sciences, where she earned her DMD in the colder suburbs of Salt Lake City, Utah. Upon completing her DMD, she was happy to return to California and has enjoyed practicing here ever since.

She loves helping people achieve their dream smile and takes pride in making her patients feel comfortable and at ease.

Dr. Vanmali knows that many people struggle with dental anxiety and wants to make dental procedures as stress-free as possible. As a licensed provider of intravenous moderate sedation, she provides her patients with a comfortable and relaxing dental experience.

For Fun

In her free time, Dr. Vanmali enjoys concerts, being in the water and sun, and spending time with her big family and her little pup, Coco. She also loves going on thrilling adventures like skydiving and scuba diving.
