Dr. Andrea Malin
Gentle, Relationship-Focused Family Dentistry Rooted in Compassion
Personalized Care from a Dentist Who Knows the East Bay
Dr. Andrea Malin brings a blend of local roots and compassionate care to her role at Elevated Dentistry. A Pleasant Hill native, she grew up just minutes from Walnut Creek and is proud to serve the community she’s always called home.
Her calm, understanding approach makes her especially skilled at helping patients who may feel nervous or overwhelmed about visiting the dentist. Whether you’re here for a routine exam or a complete smile restoration, Dr. Malin focuses on long-term relationships, comprehensive care, and helping each patient feel heard, respected, and confident in their health.
A Local Dentist with a Strong Science Foundation
Dr. Malin earned her undergraduate degree in Chemistry at Sonoma State University, followed by a Pre-Health Professions Certificate from San Francisco State University. She then completed her DDS at the renowned University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco.
After starting her career in Sonoma County, Dr. Malin recently returned to the East Bay and is thrilled to bring her experience and passion to a practice that values advanced technology, comprehensive treatment, and a personal approach to care.
Her Philosophy: Whole Health, Whole Person
For Dr. Malin, dentistry is about more than teeth — it’s about total well-being. She values the opportunity to help patients improve their overall health by addressing oral health at every stage of life.
She’s especially passionate about:
- Family and general dentistry for all ages
- Helping patients work through dental anxiety and fear
- Taking the time to understand your lifestyle, goals, and concerns
- Providing care that blends health, function, and esthetics
If you’ve avoided the dentist or have barriers to care, Dr. Malin meets you where you are — and helps you move forward, one step at a time.

Life Outside the Office
When she’s not seeing patients, Dr. Malin can usually be found hosting dinners or get-togethers with friends and family — complete with signature floral arrangements that wow her guests.
She and her husband, Collin, are proud parents to their toddler daughter, Paige, who keeps them busy (and laughing) on the weekends. Sports — especially football — are a family favorite in the Malin household.
A Gentle, Trustworthy Approach for Your Whole Family
Dr. Malin is accepting new patients and looks forward to welcoming you to Elevated Dentistry. Whether you need a routine exam, second opinion, or full treatment plan, she’s here to help — judgment-free and ready to listen.
