Meet the Doctors

Dr. Tran Han

Dr. Tran Q. Han, DDS

Owner of Mint Dental Loft

Dr. Tran Han is a general dentist with a deep commitment to redefining the dental experience through integrative, whole-body wellness. Since earning her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Southern California School of Dentistry in 2007, Dr. Han has dedicated her career to delivering expert care with compassion, precision, and purpose.



She spent nine years as a full-time Assistant Professor at USC, serving in the Division of Dental Public Health and Pediatric Dentistry, where she cared for children in underserved Los Angeles communities. Her ongoing commitment to education, prevention, and access to care continues to shape how she shows up for her patients every day.


Dr. Han is a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, a Fellow of the Pierre Fauchard Academy, and a former President of the Southern California Academy of General Dentistry. She is also a proud member of the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and the American Academy of Clear Aligners.


Her approach is rooted in the belief that oral health is a gateway to total wellbeing. From breathing and sleep to inflammation and long-term vitality, Dr. Han helps patients understand the vital connection between the mouth and the rest of the body. At Mint Dental Loft, she leads a team dedicated to creating exceptional, personalized dental experiences—where every smile is celebrated, and every patient is empowered to thrive.

Guided by core values of passion, excellence, commitment, and hospitality, Dr. Han and her team strive to reshape how people view dental care—as a meaningful, proactive part of whole-body health.


Outside of her practice, Dr. Han finds joy in family life, sharing delicious meals with friends, staying active on her Peloton (@SMILEBOSS), and immersing herself in new cultures and conversations that spark curiosity and connection.

Dr. Richard Walicki

Dr. Richard J. Walicki, DMD

Dentist at Mint Dental Loft

"Dr. Richard” as he has become known in our office, recently moved to California from Philadelphia, PA, after selling his dental practice in January 2018. A graduate of the Temple University School of Dentistry, Dr. Richard established his Philadelphia practice in 1990, where he provided comprehensive dental services as a solo practitioner. He and Dr. Han were pleased to discover they share a similar practice philosophy, making his transition into our practice an easy one.


Among the services he now provides in our office are various cosmetic treatments, such as veneers, crowns, onlays, and tooth-colored fillings. He is also experienced with restoring implant cases and has a considerable background in fabricating removable prosthetics (dentures). Patients who have required extractions in our office, have already commented upon how he was able to put them at ease, and how comfortable he was able to make them throughout the procedure. He will also be working with Dr. Han to provide Invisalign® services in the office.


Like Dr. Han, Dr. Richard considers it very important that patients understand their dental condition so they can play an active role in taking command over their health. The doctors’ combined objective is to bring their patients to a state of comfort, function, and stability – versus constantly requiring dental treatment at every visit. Our goal is to get the patient to a point where all they need is routine maintenance services.


Dr. Richard will take the time to listen to you and provide you with the best care possible. Rather than being rushed, you will discover that Dr. Walicki, and all of us at Mint Dental Loft, are there to help you, understand you, and serve your dental needs.


He continues to pursue excellence in patient care by studying advanced dental concepts through regular participation in continuing education courses.


Before entering the dental profession, Dr. Walicki served as a Legislative Aide in both houses of the United States Congress. He also holds an advanced degree from Georgetown University and, while he was born in the United States, he is fluent in the Polish language. He enjoys spending time with his wife and working with community service projects.

Dr. Edward Moussa

Dr. Edward H. Moussa, DMD

Dentist at Mint Dental Loft

Dr. Edward Moussa earned his Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry degree from Western University of Health Sciences College of Dental Medicine in 2021. He is a proud member of the American Dental Association and is dedicated to advancing his clinical skills through continuing education. Dr. Moussa has completed a Certificate in Advanced Implant Education and is passionate about providing high-quality, comprehensive care to every patient he serves.


Dr. Moussa’s approach to dentistry is grounded in creating positive, trust-based relationships with his patients. He takes time to explain treatment options clearly and enjoys helping people feel at ease in the dental chair. His goal is to provide care that not only restores smiles but supports overall wellness for the long term.


On a personal note, Dr. Moussa is a major foodie and enjoys exploring new cuisines with friends and family. When he’s not in the office, you’ll likely find him traveling, catching a game, or staying active through sports and outdoor adventures. He believes that balance, laughter, and meaningful connections are essential for a fulfilling life—both inside and outside the dental world.
