Ever since she was little, Dr. Iman Ayoubi knew she wanted to follow in her grandfather's footsteps and be a dentist. Pursuing that dream with single-minded intensity, she graduated with honors from Washington University and attended the prestigious dental program at NYU. Now settled with her family in northern Virginia, she continues to keep her education up-to-date with continuing education in the latest dental techniques and technology. Her office's high-tech instruments include soft-tissue lasers to help treat periodontal disease with minimal trauma to the gums, and shrink rays to send teams of miners into mouths to pick away plaque.
