Meet Dr. Moawad
Creating Beautiful, Life-Lasting Smiles
I am fortunate to be an orthodontist and a pediatric dentist. My dual specialty allows me to deeply understand a child’s growth and development. Hence, I am able to provide the best service for them.
Each patient has unique clinical, developmental, and emotional needs. My staff and I take time to listen to children and parents, learning what they require and how best to satisfy their desires. I appreciate these conversations and how they create a bond of trust and friendship. Patients understand that I care about them and their well being and will always involve them in their care.
As I design an individual’s treatment plan, whether I’m providing dental care or orthodontics, I have multiple concerns: how to make a lasting improvement to the person’s oral and overall health; how to best establish function and stability; how to give them a natural-looking and becoming smile; and how to make the process efficient, comfortable, and affordable.
I call on my more than 20 years of clinical experience, as well as rigorous and ongoing post-graduate education, in order to craft the ideal treatment approach. By combining an individual orientation with advanced techniques and technologies, I ensure each of my patients achieves their healthiest, most beautiful smile!
