Meet Dr. Shirin Hamed

Before embarking on my journey in dentistry, I pursued a degree in psychology, which profoundly influenced my approach to patient care. At the heart of my practice philosophy is the integration of psychological principles into every aspect of dentistry. I prioritize creating a comfortable, relaxed, and trusting environment for my patients, recognizing that a positive dental experience extends beyond clinical excellence. It’s about fostering a sense of ease, eliminating apprehension, and ensuring each visit is not only productive but also enjoyable. By cultivating positive encounters and meaningful connections, I aim to transform routine visits into moments my patients actually anticipate. This not only enhances their oral health but also their overall well-being.

For me, dentistry is both an art and a science—a profession that allows me to blend technical expertise with genuine empathy. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have found a profession where I can make a positive difference in the lives of others while also thoroughly enjoying the craft of dentistry. I eagerly anticipate caring for, learning from, and growing alongside my patients each day.

Education

With a Doctorate of Dental Medicine (DMD) with honors from Nova Southeastern University School of Dentistry in Florida and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of California San Diego, I’ve embarked on a fulfilling journey in dentistry. My career began with a dedication to servicing underserved communities, a passion that has continued to shape my practice over close to a decade in private practice in California. As an active member of the American Dental Association (ADA), California Dental Association (CDA), and the Napa Solano Dental Society, I am deeply committed to advancing the standards of dental care. I believe in the importance of staying at the forefront of cosmetic, restorative, and preventative dentistry. I eagerly participate in numerous advanced workshops and trainings each year, ensuring I am equipped with the latest techniques, equipment, and materials to provide the highest quality care to my patients.

In addition to delivering top-notch dental care, I take great joy in building meaningful connections with my patients. Getting to know them on a personal level and understanding who they are beyond just their dental needs is a cornerstone of my practice philosophy. This holistic approach allows me to provide tailored care that addresses not only their oral health but also their overall well-being. My journey in dentistry is driven by a genuine passion for making a positive impact on the oral health and lives of those I serve, and I am dedicated to continuing this pursuit of excellence in the years to come.

Personal Life

My spouse and I have been happily married, and together, we’re raising two amazing boys. Being an active mom brings me so much joy as I navigate the challenge of nurturing and guiding our children to become compassionate, responsible individuals. I choose to spend most of my free time with my family, trying new recipes, camping, hiking, traveling, and making lifelong memories. Furthermore, I value being part of the community and making a positive difference. Whether it’s volunteering, helping out, offering support, or simply spreading positivity, I’m committed to making a meaningful impact and being a role model for others in an effort to help improve our community and society as a whole.
