During each visit, we prioritize your health and your comfort through a fantastic blend of pampering and progress. Each patient we see is unique, with individual needs and goals.

We go the extra mile to make your visit all about you!

Nasrin Fard, DDS in Oro Valley

Nasrin Fard, DDS

Dr. Nasrin Fard comes from a family of medicine. However, unlike her father, she passionately pursued a dental career and stepped into dentistry at age 16. She earned her first dental degree (DMD) from the prestigious Centro Escolar University in Manila, Philippines. Soon after that, she returned to her family abroad, opening a private practice in 2008. Interested in the constant technological and esthetic advancements in dentistry, she took continuing education courses internationally to improve her knowledge and skills.

Accordingly, Dr. Fard moved to the United States to complete a one-year Mastership Program in Implant Dentistry at UCLA School of Dentistry. In addition, she earned another dental degree (DDS) from the renowned University of Southern California (USC) Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry in 2021. While at USC, her focus was on biomimetic dentistry and modern technology for minimally invasive aesthetic dentistry, applying all the tools and techniques for cosmetic procedures, implants, and bone grafting surgeries. Her professional affiliations include the Spear Study Club, the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

Dr. Fard brings over a decade of experience with exceptional artistic talent to help patients achieve a healthy smile.
