Our Team
“A smile has many components to it: color, size, shape, bite, proportions, the way it complements facial structure. When all these parts work together in perfect harmony, that's what takes a smile from ordinary to extraordinary.”
Dr. Oh
Meet Dr. Oh
Hailing from Seoul, the beauty capital of the world, Dr. Min Hee Oh is best known for blending her unparalleled dental techniques and the natural aesthetics of K-beauty.
After perfecting her craft for a decade at leading dental offices in Los Angeles, Dr. Oh opened Avenue Dental in 2018 to serve the growing demand for her gentle touch and discerning eye.
“As someone who values quality above all else, I wanted to build a practice where I could offer my patients the best-in-class experience - from the highest grade materials to cutting edge technology.”
Education
A native of Seoul, South Korea, Dr. Min Hee Oh graduated from the accelerated DDS program at the prestigious Seoul National University, where she was recognized on the Dean's Honor List. She practiced in Seoul for two years before being invited to the Professional Program for International Dentists at UCLA, where she received her second DDS degree along with the Comprehensive Patient Care Award and the Wilson-Jennings-Bloomfield UCLA Venice Dental Center Award. She then completed a two-year intensive orthodontic course at Progressive Orthodontics.
Dr. Oh is both licensed to practice dentistry in South Korea and the US.
