Summary
I am a highly dedicated dentist with a successful track record in clinical practice, research, and dental laboratory work. I excel in esthetic rehabilitation, ceramic layering and fabrication, crown and bridge implantology, and composite build-up, all backed by a keen attention to detail. My commitment to patient care and proficiency in advanced prosthodontic techniques for restoring endodontically treated teeth have significantly increased patient referrals to my practice. I established my own dental lab to personally handle feldspathic veneers and lithium disilicate layering. I hold a clinical master's degree in esthetic dentistry from Switzerland and am the first inventor listed on a US patent. Additionally, I was selected as the project manager for a randomized clinical trial in bone regeneration at Tehran University.
