"I believe that the best dentistry is done with a focus on the patient, not just their teeth, you can tell that by the way we treat all of our patients: as individuals with unique needs and wants. At Elite Dental Studio, everything we do revolves around creating a delightful experience for the patient. I've always been passionate about helping people feel good about themselves—it's why I got into dentistry in the first place! What better way to do that than by creating a space where people feel calm and relaxed while getting their teeth taken care of?" - Dr. Dawood Harunani
