    Dentist

    Welcome to our office!

    Thank you for visiting our website and showing interest in Fresh Smiles Dental. I'm Dr. Nabi, and I love getting to know our community, one patient at a time.

    Before moving to St. Louis, I lived and practiced in Seattle, Washington. I decided to settle in St. Louis area after I had finished my postgraduate training in Implants Dentistry at the Southern Illinois University school of dental medicine in Alton. I received my doctorate degree in dental medicine with honors from the University of Pennsylvania School of dental Medicine in Philadelphia in 2011.

    I am committed to provide excellent care to my patients. Every year I attend hundreds of continuing education hours both on a local and a national level to stay current with the newest technologies in dentistry. I strive to provide state-of-the-art services to my patients delivered to them in a comfortable and a pleasant experience. My patients know me as a very gentle and compassionate dentist who takes his time to talk with them and determine together what is best for them and their individual needs. I appreciate each of my patients for who they are and respect each person's opinions and ideas. I believe in giving back to the community. I am an active participant in the American Dental Assocaition Give Kids A Smile volunteer event.

    In my spare time, I enjoy sketching, photography, reading, road trips and watching tv. I am a hard core Jerry Seinfeld fan! I am married with one child. My wife, Mina, is a Webster University graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree. We live in Brentwood, Missouri.

  • Brittany -
    Registered Dental Hygienist

    Hi, I'm Brittany. I am one of the dental hygienists here at Fresh Smiles Dental. I graduated from the dental hygiene program at St. Louis Community College in 2015 and have been practicing as a dental hygienist ever since. I have taken many continuing education courses since graduating to help broaden my knowledge of the dental field. When I'm not working or taking continuing education courses, I enjoy doing pretty much anything outside or reading a good book. I'm always open to book recommendations! I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve a healthy smile!
