Meet Your Henderson Dentists

Dr. Fahad Dar began his career in dentistry in 2018. Since then, he’s demonstrated, time and time again, that his passion for patients is equally as strong as his zeal for life.
He believes every patient is unique, and it takes getting to know each one to customize a care plan for them and make the most of their experience with him.

He has a strong educational background to help him stand out even further, attending the prestigious Lahore Medical and Dental College and then completing his education at the University of Illinois’ Chicago College of Dentistry.

This dentist’s desire to help extends beyond our dental office. He has volunteered for the Thalassemia Society of Pakistan — an organization dedicated to treating children with the inherited blood disorder thalassemia. He’s also a volunteer for the American Red Cross.

When Dr. Dar isn’t in the office, he’s a bit of a thrill seeker. It’s nothing for him to get on a motorcycle, feel the wind in his face, and go where the road takes him — that is when he isn’t feeling that adrenaline rush from skydiving. But he also relishes those relaxing moments with his wife and son, like when they pack up for a camping trip and enjoy the great outdoors.
