2023 Local Business Awards—Ali Alijanian, DDS Voted “Neighborhood Fave”

In 2008, we launched our first charity lecture for the California Dental Association Foundation to raise funds for their flagship programs, CDA Cares and the Student Loan Repayment grant. Attendees were invited to donate any amount, with Dr. Alijanian matching each contribution, in exchange for the opportunity to earn CE units and hear from him on various topics, including his expertise in the All-on-4® Treatment and hard and soft tissue management.

The event was a success, raising several thousand dollars to support the foundation’s mission and helping underserved communities and dental students work hard to achieve their dreams. It’s been such a rewarding experience to see the positive impact of this event, and we’re proud to continue supporting those in need through the CDA Foundation.
