Dr. Shirin Hamed, DMD

A life of service has been a foundational part of what my family instilled in me from an early age. Having received a psychology degree prior to becoming a dentist, my practice philosophy revolves around incorporating elements of psychology into my approach.

Providing quality dental care while keeping my patients comfortable, relaxed, and in a trusting environment is a cornerstone of what I strive to provide for my patients. An overall pleasant dental and social experience for our patients is fundamental in my opinion. This is what keeps me excited and ambitious about my profession, how I serve, and how I show up everyday.

I also work on eliminating the “dread” that often comes to most patients prior to a dental visit. As a result of these positive encounters, my patients look forward to visiting us routinely for their dental care needs, allowing us to help them retain optimal oral health and appearance.

I truly enjoy the art and science of dentistry and feel so fortunate that I am able to positively impact the lives of others while practicing my passion.

Education

I received my Doctorate of Dental Medicine (DMD) with honors from Nova Southeastern University School of Dentistry in Florida. I have also received a bachelors in Psychology at the University of California San Diego. I started my career servicing underserved communities and have been in private practice in California for close to 10 years now.

I am an active member of the American Dental Association (ADA), California Dental Association (CDA) and member of the Napa Solano Dental Society.

I participate in several advanced workshops and trainings each year on the latest dental techniques, equipment and materials. I aim to stay at the forefront of cosmetic, restorative, and preventative dentistry.

Personal Life

I am happily married to my best friend of 15 years and we have two little boys together named Diyar and Tiam. I really enjoy being an active mom and the challenge of raising good humans. During my free time, I enjoy cooking, camping, exploring new places, hiking, skiing, spinning and of course good wine. Being an active member of the community and giving back however way possible is something I enjoy. I strive to be a good example for the next generation.
