Dr. Yarah Beddawi is a leading specialist in endodontics and microsurgery. She has nearly two decades of dental experience and spent seven years in general dentistry before moving into the field of endodontics. She is a graduate of two of the most prominent dental schools—UCSF and Boston University. Dr. Beddawi and her team are dedicated to running a patient-focused, empathetic, and totally carbon-neutral practice.
Dr. Yarah Beddawi is an outlier, one of the “unsung heroes.” Her humble approach masks her amazing accomplishments personally and professionally. She is a humanitarian in every sense of the word. She offers pro-bono dental work to local underserved communities and she supports multiple missions overseas in developing countries. She kick-started Project ZOYA, an urban farm in Los Gatos geared towards feeding families in need in Silicon Valley. In partnership with a local not-for-profit, Yarah funds the project and ensures that fresh produce is delivered to families in need. Additionally, she volunteers with the local food bank where she leads a team in charge of food distribution on Sundays with her husband and two young children.
As a mother, Dr. Beddawi cares dearly about mother nature, which is why her office is the only dental office that we know of that is Carbon Neutral. She is leading the industry in making sure every dental procedure she performs is not harming the environment. This comes at a cost, but she is more focused on being a responsible citizen vs. maximizing profits. And why stop here? She has taken a giant leap forward: she directs up-to 20% of her business profit towards causes she cares deeply about in the form of donations - Social Justice, Women’s Rights, Education, Environment & Children.
On the professional side, Yarah attended two of the most prestigious dental schools in the country. She received her dental degree from UCSF Dental School in San Francisco, and completed her specialty in Endodontics & Microsurgery from the Henry Goldman School of Medicine in Boston. She has been practicing dentistry since 2005, using the most advanced methods.
“If you have read through all of this, I am grateful that you spent the time. I treat all my patients like family. I take personal pride in delivering excellence, which is why I outfitted my office with the most advanced equipment on the market. I have the habit of taking giant leaps in everything I touch, which is why I focus on excellence in patient care, environment, community, etc. My inspiration comes from my children. I would like to serve as a role model for them and others to strive for excellence and doing good. We need a mind-shift in the industry to focus less on short-term profits and look at investing in humanity for a better future. Please join me in making a difference. I look forward to seeing you in my office. Fun fact: I played professional basketball for a Women's National Team overseas. I will tell you more when we meet.”

Talented endodontist Dr. Yarah Beddawi was pleased to participate in the Silicon Valley Healthy Smiles campaign, a free dental clinic that aimed to treat 1,500 people in need. Dr. Beddawi volunteered alongside dozens of other dental professionals at the San Jose Convention Center and provided free dental care to uninsured or insured individuals with low or no income in Santa Clara County. The goal of the campaign, which was organized by the Santa Clara County Dental Foundation, was to improve overall health by eliminating infection and relieving pain associated with poor oral health.
Dr. John Pisacane, President of the Santa Clara County Dental Foundation, highlighted the overwhelming unmet dental needs in the county and the negative consequences of poor oral health on various aspects of individuals' lives. The foundation is dedicated to increasing access to dental care by supporting programs operated by volunteer dentists from the Santa Clara County Dental Society.
The event offered services such as cleanings, fillings, and root canals for people of all ages. Both adults and children could avail themselves of the free services. The clinic was operated entirely by volunteer dentists and community members. The event's organizers and financers emphasized that the event specifically benefited community members who lacked access to dental care and mentioned the positive impact the clinic had on the underserved people in San Jose and surrounding communities like Mountain View.
An endodontist is a dental specialist who diagnoses and treats issues regarding the dental pulp. The dental pulp is the collection of tissues, nerve endings, and blood vessels found inside the tooth.
Oftentimes, when the dental pulp becomes infected, the only possible treatment is root canal therapy, which is why many endodontists focus almost exclusively on this particular procedure.
In order to become an endodontist, dentists must complete multiple years’ worth of training beyond their initial dental schooling. It’s a highly focused dental specialty that’s difficult to master, but it’s not just training and experience that makes the best endodontists.
At The Modern Endodontist in Mountain View, we believe that empathy is just as important as any other factor determining the quality of your endodontic care. We incorporate that philosophy into every single appointment and every procedure.

I just wanted to share how great my experience was with Dr. Beddawi… After a thorough exam, she came back with a treatment plan that would save the tooth. She got me in the office right away, performed the procedure and saved my tooth. I couldn't be happier with the outcome.
Dr. Beddawi is so great at what she does. She explains everything in detail. Very professional and detail oriented. She is comforting and kind. Everything you want from a dentist. I know any dental appointment can be scary, especially a root canal but not when you’re in Dr. Beddawi’s hands! I had a great experience with her and absolutely recommend her.
Dr. Beddawi is simply the best in town. She’s experienced, knowledgeable, professional, patient, very gentle and communicates exceptionally. She takes her time to explain all the details to her patient and makes sure they’re as comfortable as can be.
Dr. Beddawi handled my root canal amazingly. I had a ton of pain in my tooth and I went to Dr. Beddawi for a root canal. I was scared because this was my first ever root canal. Dr. Beddawi explained everything in detail and despite my case being much more complicated than either of us imagined, Dr. Beddawi did a marvelous job extracting my roots in a painless and effective manner.
Very professional, technology based approach to endodontics! Dr. Beddawi was very helpful and able to resolve all issues for me. I highly recommend her and the practice.
I went to Dr. Yarah’s office with a terrible pain in my root canal and she was able to quickly schedule me for an appointment without any hassle. She took care of everything. She even followed up after a few months to arrange an x-ray to make sure all was well. I would highly recommend her.
Dr Beddawi is gentle, thorough and caring. She always takes the time and will recommend necessary treatment. She took care of my mom’s very painful tooth during a visit to the area. Ethical, clean and professional. Highly recommend!
Dr. Beddawi is amazing and her staff is so friendly! I was referred to her by my dentist, and I'm glad he did. She's diligent and detail oriented, walked me through the steps and set up my expectations. After getting my root canal done, I was no longer in pain and she's so thoughtful, called to check on how I'm doing and see if there's still any recurring pain. Hands down an incredible experience.
Dr. Yarah is one of those doctors that you are happy to have found. She is professional, kind and takes pride in her work.
Dr. Biddawi is absolutely fantastic. She is beyond patient, extremely sweet and most importantly listens to her patients’ needs. She will not do a root canal or anything else unless you actually need it, contrary to many dentists and endos these days! Highly recommend her!
Dr. Yarah Beddawi is highly recommended. Her work and team are remarkable. I was a very complicated case and she was always honest and professional. Her assistants are wonderfully kind and willing to hold your hand. Thumbs up to this office!
