Dr. Ava Khodakhast, DDS
About Dr. Khodakhast
I’m Dr. Ava Khodakhast, but you can call me Dr. Ava or Dr. Khoda. My journey in dentistry began with a strong belief that it’s not just a science but an art form. For over two decades, I’ve dedicated myself to improving the lives of my patients, and I find that experience truly priceless.
I graduated as a Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2000, obtaining my DDS from the University of Missouri Kansas City. My passion for learning led me to continue my education for three additional years at the Medical College of Georgia, where I earned a master’s in Oral Biology and completed my Residency in Prosthodontics. This specialty focuses on cosmetic work, implant procedures, and complex mouth rehabilitation, areas I genuinely enjoy.
In my career, I’ve strived for excellence and was proud to earn the prestigious diplomate status with the American Board of Prosthodontics. Challenging the board exams was a way to push myself even further in my field, and it’s an honor I share with only a few others.
I also earned fellow status with the American College of Prosthodontists, an organization dedicated to promoting the highest standards of patient care.
Before relocating to Colorado, I served as the assistant director of Advanced Education in General Dentistry at UMKC. While I taught at UMKC, I also worked in private practice performing the techniques and skills I taught.
I was born and raised in Kuwait and am fluent in Farsi and Arabic. Having lived in various countries, I embrace my diverse background and cherish my experiences, including a rewarding charity project in India during my college years. I love exploring different cultures and meeting new people.
When I’m not in my dental practice, I enjoy quality time with my husband and our two puppies, Jolie and Beau. We share a love for exploring new cuisines and watching foreign films. I’m thrilled to be here in Colorado, soaking in the stunning outdoors and vibrant lifestyle. I can’t wait to meet you and your family!
