Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Rubab Mirza. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Rubab, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Is there a heartwarming story from your career that you look back on?

My favorite part about being a dentist is helping people gain confidence in themselves and their smiles. Kids, and even adults, often shy away from smiling with their teeth because they are self-conscious of how their teeth appear.

Many factors go into a traditionally perfect smile, like gum exposure, tooth alignment and color, and tooth size. Arguably the most noticeable element of a smile, improper teeth alignment has severe health implications as well. Crooked teeth can be difficult to clean properly, and can lead to plaque buildup, gum disease, and cavities. They can also lead to chewing difficulties, bad breath, and speaking difficulties. Misaligned teeth may cause speech impediments due to gaps and improper jaw alignments.

At Naba Dental, we recommend patients get braces to improve their oral health and self-confidence. Braces have even been used as treatments for (TMJ) and sleep apnea as proper tooth position can significantly improve the symptoms of both conditions.

One of my most rewarding experiences was treating a boy who was self-aware of smile and refused to show his teeth. As a result, he spoke less in class and at other social gatherings. When he did, he made sure to cover his mouth, especially if he was laughing or smiling broadly.

After his first routine dental visit, his mother explained the problems he was facing and was looking for solutions to improve his confidence. We decided to treat him with braces to align his overcrowded and crooked teeth. Further, we incorporated jaw alignment into the treatment plan to fix his overbite and prevent issues like TMJ from developing in the future.

Over the course of around two years, with visits planned every few months, the boy’s teeth were perfectly aligned. Every visit, he was eager to learn about his progress and the way his teeth were shifting. When his braces were finally removed, he was elated and proudly showed off his new smile. Watching him gain confidence and love his smile was heart-warming and I was extremely grateful to be a part of his journey.

While beginning the process of getting braces can be intimidating for kids, our team aims to make the process as fun as possible. When you begin your treatment, you receive a goody bag with everything you need for a comfortable and safe experience. Along with that, our team guides you through the entire process and how to best manage your braces. Our dentists and assistants are highly qualified and have years of experience with braces. The part that patients enjoy the most is choosing new colors for their rubber bands, which showcases their personality and builds their confidence.

At Naba Dental, braces are for adults as much as they are for children. People suffering from jaw pain and crowded teeth can benefit greatly from braces. For a more subtle look, we offer treatments with ceramic braces, which blend in with your teeth.

Rubab, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I was born and raised in India I attended the University of Southern California and graduated with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2004.

I practice conservative dentistry, emphasizing the aspects of protecting the teeth and mouth. I especially focus on restoring teeth appearance and function, helping both children and adults maintain a healthy mouth. I love working with children and adults.

I am a very driven and passionate individual with an intense focus on my family.

Can you open up about how you managed the initial funding?

In order to open Naba Dental, we used most of our savings and also took a loan from our bank.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

I feel effective and honest communication is critical in growing any business. No one likes going to a dentist. I feel if I spend quality time with my patient going over all their options and situation in detail, this will help them increase their knowledge and feel confident.
