Dr. Fahad Dar
General Dentist - Henderson, NV.
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.

Dr. Evan Lipman
General Dentist - Henderson, NV.
Born in the heart of New York City, Dr. Evan Lipman brings a blend of compassion and expertise to West Henderson Dental and Orthodontics. He was raised in Buffalo, NY, until his journey eventually led him to the vibrant community of Las Vegas, where he now serves as a trusted dentist.
A proud alumnus of UNLV, Dr. Lipman holds a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree. His choice of dentistry was inspired by a desire to bridge the worlds of his parents – a medical doctor and a speech language pathologist. For him, dentistry serves as the perfect midpoint, allowing him to help people regain their smiles and boost their confidence.
What sets Dr. Lipman apart is his commitment to transforming dental appointments into positive experiences. Recognizing the anxiety many patients associate with dentistry, he focuses on excellent bedside manner and clear communication to ensure everyone feels at ease.
Beyond his professional life, Dr. Lipman is more than your dentist – he’s an avid musician, a food enthusiast exploring the culinary landscape of Las Vegas, and a tech aficionado. His diverse interests reflect a commitment to balance and well-rounded living.
