Crafting High Quality Smiles

Saliha Awais, DMD

Dr. Saliha Awais believes dentistry is about much more than fixing teeth—it’s about restoring health, confidence, and quality of life. With eight years of experience practicing dentistry in the United States, she combines clinical knowledge, thoughtful problem-solving, and a genuine interest in each patient to provide care that is both effective and personal.

Dr. Awais earned her DMD from the University of Illinois Chicago College of Dentistry in 2018, building on her earlier dental education and BDS degree from Pakistan. She is committed to continuing education and regularly expands her knowledge across general dentistry. Most recently, she completed 300 hours of advanced training in implant dentistry. She is also passionate about emerging technologies and advancements in dentistry, including AI-assisted diagnostics, regenerative medicine, advanced 3D imaging, and 3D printing.

Preserving and healing natural teeth is one of Dr. Awais’s greatest passions. She provides a wide range of general dental treatments, including fillings, crowns and bridges, removable partial dentures, and surgical extractions. Her approach is grounded in empathy, active listening, and ethical treatment planning. She takes the time to understand each patient’s concerns and goals, helping them feel informed and comfortable throughout their care.

For Dr. Awais, the most rewarding part of dentistry is seeing how the right treatment can make an immediate and lasting difference in someone’s life. Whether relieving discomfort, restoring function, or helping a patient feel proud of their smile again, she finds purpose in combining the precision of clinical science with the hands-on artistry of dentistry.

Above all, Dr. Awais is focused on her patients’ long-term well-being. She strives to build lasting relationships based on trust and to provide high-quality care without compromising ethical standards. Her goal is to help every patient achieve lasting oral health, restore confidence and function, and feel genuinely cared for along the way.

Outside the office, Dr. Awais enjoys spending time with her family and watching movies.
