Woodland Hills Dentist Gabe Adorjan, DMD

Gabe Adorjan, DMD

Dentist

I grew up in a small village in Hungary. My hardworking and brave father relocated our family to the United States when I was twelve to seek better opportunities outside of the restraints of communism.

Transitioning from a small community in Hungary and adjusting to the vastness of the United States was a huge cultural shift. It instilled toughness and resilience in me. My father’s bravery—relocating our family to achieve a better life—instilled determination. Bullying in school, which I overcame through toughness, also taught me to be compassionate to everyone, no matter their background or challenges.

I received my business degree from CSUN in 2001 and later graduated from UNLV dental school—choosing the latter because of its technology-driven dental school programs. It was here that I honed my skills and fell in love with the art and science of dentistry.

Today, I take a keen interest in oral surgery and implant dentistry, which are my favorite procedures to perform because they are both professionally challenging and transformative for the patient.

Patient-Focused Dental Care in Woodland Hills

In my Woodland Hills, CA dental office, I treat patients the way I would treat a family member, always asking myself what I would decide if this patient were my mother, father, brother, or child.

I find that a hand to the shoulder or reassurance during a dental procedure really makes a difference, and I love guiding patients toward healthy, beautiful smiles and making a positive impact on their lives.

My proudest moments as a dentist are when I can unveil a new smile for my patients. That moment when they look in the mirror and see their results…it means everything to me.

I own my dental practice in Woodland Hills, CA, and when I’m not there, I love spending time with my family, including my wife, Tasha, young daughter Maddy, and our toddler Jameson. I also enjoy continuing education and recently joined the Spear Study Club.

To relax, I like to build things, hike, and run with my dogs.
