Meet Dr. Tara Vattadi

Hi! My name is Dr. Tara Vattadi! I am a new transplant to the Twin Cities! I grew up in a small beach town in California called Santa Cruz where I was spoiled by year-round sunshine. Through my own dental and orthodontic treatments, I decided early on that dentistry would be the right fit for me to combine my interest in science, passion for working with people, and using my hands to make art.


This made the decision to move to Michigan to pursue a combined B.A. in Chemistry and D.D.S degree an easy one. After completing dental school, I decided to further my dental training by completing a General Practice Residency in Chicago, IL. I practiced for 5 years in California before deciding to head back to the Midwest and join my fiancé in Minnesota. To say I am excited to be joining New Brighton Family Dentistry is an understatement!


Outside of building patient relationships and talking about dentistry to anyone that will listen, my hobbies include cooking, reading, anything fitness related, and attempting to sew (much harder than I thought!!). I love spending time with family and friends and traveling whenever possible. I am also an avid “foodie”, so I am always looking for restaurant recommendations!
