Meet

Namaste Dental was born out of a passion for restoring smiles with dignity and compassion. Founded by Dr. Zaihly Azar, a trusted San Diego dentist, our mission is to provide quality dental care to those who need it most: underserved families, homeless individuals, low-income communities, and adults with mental and physical disabilities.

​

For Dr. Azar, this mission is deeply personal. Growing up alongside her sister, she witnessed the challenges many mentally disabled adults face in accessing proper dental care. Too often their needs were ignored or inadequately addressed. That experience inspired her to create a safe and welcoming place where every individual is treated with respect, compassion, and excellence.

​

At Namaste Dental, we believe oral health is more than teeth. It is about confidence, comfort, and the ability to live with dignity. That is why we work tirelessly to provide preventive, restorative, and emergency services, ensuring no one is left behind simply because of financial or physical barriers.

​

Our core values, compassion, dignity, accessibility, and excellence guide every step we take. Through community outreach, mobile dental units, and personalized patient care, we are closing the gap in dental services and restoring not only smiles, but also hope.

​

Namaste Dental is more than dentistry. It is a movement of kindness and inclusion, a promise that no one is forgotten. With the support of donors, volunteers, and partners, we are building brighter futures and transforming lives one smile at a time.
