Parisa Safaei, DMD

Dentistry is my art, caring for patients my passion. I truly love when I can create a beautiful healthy smile for a person whether is a crown, bridge or porcelain veneer case, or just making a natural sets of dentures for a patient that has not smiled for years.

After having joined Flawless Dental in 2000, I proceeded to have the honor of its full ownership in 2006. It has been my greatest joy to witness the flourishing and success of this practice as well as my initial dental practice in the beautiful North shore town of Swampscott.

My interests in this field include; restorative and aesthetic dentistry, inlays, onlays, Composite and porcelain Veneers, crowns, invisible braces and teeth whitening. My love for children has given me the opportunity to obtain high quality training and many years of experience with fine pediatric dentists throughout my career. I strongly believe that preventing dental disease is simply the best approach to avoid complex and extensive treatments in the future.

After graduating from Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine, it has been my major focus to remain up-to-date with the rapidly growing science of dentistry and its day to day advancements. I spend several weeks per year taking continuing education courses on various topics in Dentistry. Therefore, I have continued to be an active member of The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, American Dental Association, Mass Dental Society and North Shore Dental Society.

I love to travel around the world, meet new people and learn about their cultures. I enjoy being active, I play Tennis and take Spinning and Yoga classes. I love to dance Tango and Salsa whenever I get a chance. I live in Boston with my loving husband Sergio Turner.
