Meet Our Dentists

Helping you gain confidence in your smile.

‘‘I will explain your procedure in detail, take intra-oral pictures, give you all available options, and help you make your own decisions about your oral health.'

As a child, Dr. Abedi was moved by the fear people experienced when going to the dentist. This led to her pursuing a career in dentistry, so she could help people feel comfortable and provide them with gentle care.

After more than 18 years of practicing dentistry, Dr. Abedi is as committed to her patients as she has ever been. Her primary motivation continues to be helping people gain beautiful, healthy smiles through excellent customer service and quality dental treatments.

Dr. Abedi actively participates in continuing education courses to ensure she remains up to date with the newest technological advances in dentistry. These courses are part of her commitment to providing her patients with the highest standard of care possible.

In her free time, Dr. Abedi loves spending quality time with her husband and two beautiful teenagers. She enjoys outdoor activities, such as hiking, biking, and swimming.

‘‘As my patient, you can expect patient-centered care where you will be treated with respect and compassion. I like to focus on oral health education so patients are welcome to ask any questions! We want our patients to feel comfortable in our office.‘‘

During the weekends, I usually explore the surrounding area to find new hiking trails with beautiful views of the Pacific Northwest. As an avid baker, I am always looking for new recipes to add to my collection! I also occasionally dabble in watercolor or acrylic paints to express my creative side.

I love reading murder mysteries as well as learn from self-development books, such as The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy. I spend my free time watching crime dramas, like Queen of the South or Prison Break, to name a few. My favorite hiking trail is Angels Landing at Zion National Park.

Dr. Elena Andronova was born and raised in Russia. Her aunt was a dentist, and it was seeing her dedication to her patients that sparked Dr. Andronova’s interest in dentistry. Fast forward to today, and endodontics has become her passion.

As an endodontist, Dr. Andronova is continually expanding her horizons and finding new ways to be creative in her profession. She translates these techniques and skills to her everyday treatment of patients. In fact, our Graham endodontist is known for her ability to calm her patient’s dental anxieties and to put them at ease.

Dr. Andronova is a true believer that endodontics requires non-stop continuing education, so she regularly attends expert courses in her pursuit of excellence.

Thanks to her life experiences, multicultural background, and professional training, Dr. Andronova brings a unique touch to our dental practice in Graham, WA. Learn more about our office on the homepage
