Each member of our staff at Ararat Dental is professional, experienced, and dedicated to providing our patients with exceptional care and compassion. Our patients provide us with meaning, purpose and an opportunity to make a difference in the lives we touch.

When you entrust us with your pain, concerns, needs and desires we understand your vulnerability. We know a visit to the dentist is not enjoyable. Not where you would rather be. We know your life has many layers, and that a procedure with an oral care specialist makes most feel nervous, impatient and anxious to be finished and get back to other priorities.

This puts us in a unique position. With uncertainty, discomfort and anxiety comes an opportunity for those that can make a difference (us) to make the experience easier. Understanding what is important to you, and smoothing the process is our mission. Whatever your needs and concerns, know we are here to help. This isnt simply our job, this is our calling.

Im the 3rd generation dentist after my father and grandfather. My father assisted my grandfather and later developed his own practice. Since my early teens I assisted my father. My love for the dental field grew from these experiences. During these early years I decided to become a dentist.

My daughter Ani also works in my office. She loves helping others and the challenges provided by working in this environment. With all her ambition, desire and available opportunities, she has decided to continue our legacy and become our familys 4th generation dentist.

I love working with my hands and creating beautiful artwork. As a cosmetic dental specialist, restoring damaged teeth allows me to channel my artistic passion into helping others. My patients are relieved of their pain and suffering, and leave with a beautiful smile (sometimes improved self image), while I am rewarded with profound job satisfaction.

I can truly say that I look forward to coming to work everyday. Ive been in the dental profession for 16 years and have worked at Ararat Dental since the summer of 2012. Working for Dr. Ani allows me to express what I love most, helping patients with their insurance questions making them feel at ease knowing theyre taken care of by me. In my free time, you will find me in the kitchen, as cooking is my true passion. During the summer months, I enjoy being with my grand daughter.Contact me at AraratDental@gmail.com if you have any financial or insurance questions. You can count on me to help!

I was excited to help my mom this summer at her dental practice. I was able learn and gain experience in both front office responsibilities as well as being a dental assistant. The dental industry allows me to express my desire for helping people through dental technologies and impacting peoples lives by delivering healthy smiles. During the school year you can find me at the practice on Saturdays. My first hand experience has helped me decide that I will be following in my moms footsteps. This would make me the fourth generation of dentists in our family, keeping our family business thriving and helping patients for years to come.

I have completed 9 months of the Dental Assisting Program at Drake College. In 2009 I obtained a degree as a certified dental assistant. Since then, for 9 years, I have been assisting Dr. Ani and I feel at home and at ease at Ararat Dental. On my time off I love to cook and take care of my family.

I was certified as a dental assistant in 2012 and recently joined the Ararat Dental team. This is a great practice to work for and I am blessed to be part of such an amazing family. At Ararat Dental I feel like I make a difference each day taking care of patients. When Im home, I keep myself busy with my 5 year old daughter who is the joy of my life!

Ive rejoined the Ararat Dental team. What I enjoy most about my position is greeting our patients at the front desk and helping them feel comfortable and welcome. I enjoy attending to the needs of each patient letting them know that theyre in helpful and safe hands with me. I absolutely love coming to work every day and seeing everyones smile.
