MEET DR. SALHADAR

Dr. Samy Salhadar

As a proud native of Ada, I’m thrilled to return to my hometown to practice dentistry. I was immersed in the world of healthcare from a young age, sparking a natural curiosity that ultimately guided me to this profession. I’ve always been drawn to building meaningful connections with people and working with my hands—two passions that perfectly converge in dentistry.

For me, dentistry is a beautiful blend of science and artistry, marrying my love for precision with an architectural sensibility. During my undergraduate years, I explored courses in architecture, which sharpened my artistic eye and deepened my appreciation for detail. At the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, I thrived in delivering gentle, patient-centered care of the highest caliber. My dedication earned me the Comprehensive Care Award, a recognition of my ability to exceed patient expectations while creating exceptional patient experiences. I know a dental visit can feel daunting, so I prioritize genuine connections with every individual I treat. By engaging patients throughout their care, I ensure their goals are heard, their questions answered, and they are treated with the highest level of care.

Beyond my foundational training, I’m an active member of the Pankey Institute and hold certifications in BOTOX and dermal fillers from the American Academy of Facial Esthetics. Dentistry is a dynamic field, constantly evolving with new technologies, materials, and techniques. I’m committed to staying at the forefront of these advancements, ensuring my patients benefit from the latest innovations and leave my chair with a confident smile.

Outside the office, I embrace an active lifestyle. I enjoy time with my family, mountain biking, teeing off on the golf course, sitting in a tree stand hunting, and casting a line fishing. I also have a passion for travel. These experiences fuel my energy and perspective, both in life and in the care I provide.
