Dr. Olivia Moran, DDS is a Filipino dentist who has grown up in multiple countries including the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Singapore, and Canada. After completing her degree in Biology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, she moved to the U.S. to earn her Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree from the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry.

Establishing Her Practice

Dr. Moran took a leap of faith and bought this practice in the middle of the COVID pandemic, and she hasn’t turned back since. Being a young female practice owner can be overwhelming at times, but her passion and commitment to dentistry and helping people keep her motivated to grow and run a successful practice.

Dr. Moran is dedicated to being a lifelong learner and strives to be the best dentist she can be. Her ultimate goal is to become the best and youngest cosmetic dentist, dedicating her practice to giving patients brand new smiles. She is gentle, detail-oriented, efficient, and committed to providing the highest quality dentistry possible.

She focuses on making patients feel comfortable, educating them about their oral health, and providing the best treatment options available. With her international upbringing, she loves developing strong, long-lasting relationships with patients of all backgrounds and cultures, hoping to make a positive influence in their lives.

Philanthropy and Personal Interests

Being a proud Filipino, Dr. Olivia Moran is also passionate about giving back to her home country. During her time in dental school, she started an annual successful dental outreach program to the Philippines. The program allows UoP students and faculty  to spend a week of their summer providing free dental care in rural areas in the Philippines. Once she is settled into her career, she hopes to continue her outreach work in the Philippines. Since she decided she wanted to become a dentist, her ultimate goal has always been to improve the standards of oral health care in the Philippines.


In her free time, Dr. Olivia Moran is passionate about running, yoga, photography, and exploring the restaurant scene of San Francisco! When you come in to our practice, make sure to check out all her photography hanging up on the walls of all the different countries she lived in!

"Dr. Moran completely transformed my smile and my confidence! With my wedding coming up, I was so anxious about my front teeth, especially my discolored, uneven crowns, and I couldn’t be happier with my new veneers. Dr. Moran genuinely cares about her patients. She’s a true perfectionist, always taking the time to answer questions and go the extra mile."

- Nathalie T.
“Dr. Moran's knowledge extends far beyond one area of dentistry. She has a unique ability to explain how orthodontics, aesthetics, endodontics together. She helps me understand my dental health as a whole. I genuinely enjoy coming to her office and couldn't recommend her more highly.
- Janica S.
Dr. Moran is truly an artist! I came to her after an accident left me with broken teeth and composite bonding that was long overdue to be fixed. I had been hesitant to move forward because I wanted a dentist I could trust, someone whose recommendations didn’t feel like a cash grab and who would preserve what made my smile mine.
