Dr. Al Abdullah

D.M.D, MS

Dr. Al Abdullah’s journey from Baghdad, Iraq to becoming a skilled orthodontist in the United States is nothing short of inspiring. After earning his first dental degree and practicing in Iraq, he moved to the U.S. in 2016 to pursue his passion for dentistry. Starting as a dental hygienist, he quickly advanced to earn his Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) with honors from the Ivy League’s University of Pennsylvania.

At Penn, Dr. Al Abdullah’s dedication and excellence were recognized with membership in the prestigious Omicron Kappa Upsilon and Matthew Cryer Honor Societies, along with the American Equilibration Society Award for his outstanding work in occlusion and TMJ care. He then completed his orthodontic residency at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), earning a master’s degree in Oral Biology.

Outside the office, Dr. Al Abdullah loves spending time with his wife and two daughters. Family is everything to him, and they enjoy exploring new places and making memories together. A soccer enthusiast and fitness lover, Dr. Al Abdullah is always active, whether on the field, at the gym, or unwinding with a good show.

From Dr. Al Abdullah:

“My journey hasn’t been easy; but every challenge shaped the doctor I am today. I chose this path not just to straighten teeth, but to change lives. I see every patient as a story in progress, and I’m here to help them smile through every chapter.”
