Dr. Farnaz Athari is a compassionate family and children’s dentist dedicated to creating healthy, confident smiles in a welcoming, stress-free environment. She believes dentistry is about more than just teeth — it’s about trust, comfort, and building positive experiences that last a lifetime.
Raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, Dr. Athari earned her bachelor’s degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She then pursued her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the prestigious University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco, California, where she developed her commitment to gentle, patient-centered care.
Throughout her education and career, Dr. Athari has been deeply inspired by the power of compassionate dentistry. During several international mission trips to underserved communities, she provided essential dental care to children and families who otherwise had limited access to oral health services. These experiences solidified her lifelong mission: to make every patient — especially young ones — feel safe, cared for, and valued in the dental chair.
With over 18 years of experience in private practice, Dr. Athari has earned a reputation for her gentle touch, attention to detail, and warm, reassuring chairside manner. She loves treating patients of all ages and finds special joy in helping children build confidence and overcome dental anxiety. Her goal is to ensure that every visit is a positive one — where kids learn to view the dentist as a friend and parents feel at ease knowing their family’s care is in good hands.
Dr. Athari stays current with the latest techniques and technologies in modern dentistry through ongoing education and advanced training. Whether she’s performing preventive care, restoring a smile, or teaching a young patient how to brush properly, her approach is always centered on kindness, education, and long-term wellness.
Outside of the office, Dr. Athari enjoys spending time with her family and friends, traveling, and exploring new places. Her passion for health and community extends beyond dentistry — she values balance, wellness, and the joy that comes from helping others thrive.
For Dr. Athari, every patient is treated like family, and every smile tells a story of care, trust, and confidence.
