Meet Tenny Balabegian DDS MBA
Dr Tenny was born and raised in Los Angeles. She completed her undergraduate studies at UCLA where she majored in biochemistry and graduated with Latin Honors. A love of her own pediatric dentist growing up led her to pursue dentistry. In 2007 she made the move across the country to attend the NYU College of Dentistry. She excelled in her studies, graduating at the top 1% of her class and becoming inducted into the prestigious national dental society OKU.
Although she enjoyed her time in New York City, she yearned for warmer weather and had discovered a passion for orthodontics, as the specialty combined dentistry with her love of science. She moved to Las Vegas and over the next three years completed her residency, graduating with a specialty degree in orthodontics as well as her MBA. After many years away from home she returned to Los Angeles to be close to family, start her own family, and serve her community.
She is now the proud mama of young twins Olivia and Wesley. At NOHO Orthodontics Dr. Tenny strives to provide excellent care in a fun, comfortable environment. She treats patients like family, and by sharing her passion for dentistry and orthodontics with her younger patients she hopes to inspire the next generation of dental professionals.
"I just got my braces off and I could not be more happy! My entire experience with Dr. Tenny was nothing but amazing. I was always very well informed on what to expect next. She is genuinely a nice and easy person to work with. The staff are all very welcoming and made me feel right at home. I used to hate smiling and now I can’t stop :). If you need braces or Invisalign Sherman oaks Dental is the place to go. I highly recommend!"

"I’ve just completed my treatment with Dr Tenny. From the beginning, as someone who didn’t like any kind of dental visits and was so self conscious about my teeth to now, the transformation has been amazing. I always felt at easy with Dr Tenny and her team and it’s just been incredible. I initially began with Invisalign as I was on the fence about having braces. And I saw some good progress but not exactly what I was hoping for. So after a conversation with Dr Tenny I decided to go full steam ahead and get traditional braces and I am so glad I did. I can’t stop smiling ear to ear since they’ve came off. Anyone who’s on the fence about getting work done, please visit with Dr Tenny and allow her to see what she can do for you. The whole team at Sherman Oaks Dental is truly a special one and becomes a place you look forward to visiting. 10/10 highly recommended."
