We want you to get to know her not just as an expert in pediatric dentistry, but as the caring and dedicated person she is.
Choosing a dentist for your child is a decision built on trust, and we want you to feel completely comfortable and confident in the care your family receives. This is why we are pulling back the curtain to share Dr. Mooradian’s story—from her earliest inspirations to her life outside the office. We hope that by learning more about her journey, her values, and her commitment to your child’s well-being, you will see why she is so special to us and to the families we serve.
A Lifelong Passion for Caring for Children
Dr. Mooradian’s journey into pediatric dentistry was inspired by her own positive experiences as a child. She was fortunate to have a pediatric dentist who was not only kind and gentle but also made every visit fun and educational. This early encounter showed her that a dental office could be a place of comfort and happiness, a lesson that has profoundly shaped her own approach to care. She knew from a young age that she wanted to create that same nurturing environment for other children, helping them build a foundation of excellent oral health without fear or anxiety.
This calling led her to pursue her education with immense focus and dedication. After graduating from Colby College with a BA in Biology, she earned her Doctorate of Dental Medicine (DMD) from the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. Recognizing her passion for working with young patients, she completed her pediatric dental residency at Boston University, where she gained significant experience treating children with special health care needs. This advanced training equipped her with the specialized skills needed to address the unique dental needs of infants, children, adolescents.
Today, as a board-certified pediatric dentist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Mooradian brings this extensive expertise to every appointment. She is passionate about preventive care and is committed to making each visit a positive, empowering experience for your child.

Originally fromNorth of Boston, she feels a deep connection to the area and is thrilled to be practicing in a community she loves. This local tie gives her a unique understanding of the families she serves, and she is dedicated to creating a welcoming "dental home" for every patient.
Her commitment to community extends beyond the walls of our practice. Dr. Mooradian is an active member of several professional organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, the Massachusetts Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and the North Shore District Dental Society. This involvement keeps her at the forefront of the latest advancements in pediatric dentistry and allows her to contribute to the health and well-being of the broader community.
She firmly believes that a strong community is built on connection and support. This philosophy is reflected in the way she runs her practice, always taking the time to listen to parents’ concerns and explain treatments in a clear, reassuring manner. Her goal is to partner with families to ensure every child has a healthy smile and a positive attitude toward dental care for life.
Life Beyond the Dental Chair
When she is not creating beautiful smiles, Dr. Mooradian enjoys a full and active life with her family. She and her husband are the proud parents of two wonderful young children, a son and a daughter. As a mother herself, she understands the joys and challenges of parenthood, which gives her a special empathy for the families she treats. She often shares that her own experiences as a parent have made her a more compassionate and understanding pediatric dentist.
Dr Marina loves to spend her time away from the office with her family. You might find Dr. Marina and her family exploring local parks, enjoying a day at the beach, visiting local farms and community events on the North Shore or just simply having fun in their backyard. These moments of connection and joy are what fuel her passion and bring balance to her life.
This blend of professional expertise and personal warmth is what makes Dr. Mooradian so beloved by her patients and their parents. She sees each child as an individual and strives to make their dental experience as comfortable and positive as her own.
