ARAZM FARHANGFAR, DMD

He is  genuinely passionate about dentistry as well as meeting new people and hearing their stories. He cares deeply about patient’s concerns and comfort. For him, dentistry is more than fixing people’s teeth, it is an art to give our patients the smile they deserve and always wanted. It is extremely rewarding and personally motivating to help our patients improve their oral health. He continues to advance his education in General & Aesthetic Dentistry, Surgical & Implant Dentistry and Orthodontics (Invisalign®).

 

Outside work, in the summer, I enjoy hiking in the mountains, biking, and playing soccer and in the winter I like skiing. I love spending time with my family, reading books, and devoting my time to personal development.

 

Dr. Farhangfar graduated in 2004 from Kerman University of Medical Sciences, Iran; I was privileged to serve Edmontonians for 9 years before selling my dental clinics in Alberta to move to Ontario and call the beautiful Aurora home.
