Bakhtiar Ardi Pribadi, DDS, FAGD
Meet Dr. Pribadi
Dr. B. Ardi Pribadi has dreamed of being a dentist since his first painless experience with a dentist at the age of seven.
While on a family vacation to Seattle in the 90s, Dr. Pribadi visited the University of Washington and fell absolutely in love with the school and the city of Seattle. He graduated from the University of Washington with degrees in literature and zoology and earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree from the prestigious University of the Pacific School of Dentistry. While at UOP, he was awarded the coveted Cecil Adams Award for outstanding achievement in oral surgery. He continued his studies as a general practice resident at the VA Medical Center in Los Angeles and excelled amongst his peers, earning the title of “chief resident” after only 3 months. During his residency, he received extensive training in hospital medicine, dental implants, dentures, emergency care, and IV sedation.
His experience with disabled veterans was extremely rewarding and touched him so deeply that he joined the US Air Force to serve his country. During his tour of duty, which included bases in Washington, Arizona, and Japan, Dr. Pribadi was awarded the National Defense Medal, the Air Force Commendation Medal, and the Meritorious Service Medal. Dr. Pribadi continues his service to his country with the Air Force Reserves and is currently attached with the 446th Aerospace Medicine Squadron at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
