Meet Dr. Niki Boloorchi, DDS
Dr. Niki Boloorchi is a dentist and dental anesthesiologist at Tooth + Tongue in Walnut Creek, with advanced training in treating tethered oral tissues - tongue and lip ties - to help infants and children thrive. She serves as the practice's Dental and Anesthesia Director, focusing on airway, tongue-tie, and anesthesia care.
What is a dentist-anesthesiologist and why it matters for your child
A dental anesthesiologist is a dentist with additional hospital-based residency training in anesthesia. For families, that means sedation and general anesthesia for children are planned and monitored by a doctor whose entire advanced training is in keeping patients safe and comfortable during dental care - an added layer of safety for young, anxious, or special-needs children.

How Dr. Niki treats tongue and lip ties
Dr. Boloorchi evaluates and treats tongue and lip ties in infants, children, and adolescents using the CO2 laser - a precise, efficient way to release the restrictive tissue behind the upper lip or beneath the tongue that can interfere with feeding, speech, and development. Her approach is functional and airway-focused: she looks beyond the restriction itself to what it has affected and what needs to be addressed alongside the release. See our lip and tongue-tie treatment.
She also provides mobile anesthesia to dentists throughout the San Francisco and Sacramento areas.
