Meet the Team

Dr. Mariam Arnouk graduated from Loma Linda University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Dental Hygiene and then went on to Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health. Her passion for serving the community and educating the public about oral health led her to receive her Master’s in Public health while attending dental school.

Dr. Mariam is committed to educating every patient about oral health and providing the best dental care possible, all while preventing dental diseases, not just treating it. Dr. Mariam wants to educate every patient on the link between oral health and systemic diseases. “I believe every patient should be educated about their oral health. As dentists, it is our job to help prevent dental diseases before they even happen.”

Outside of practicing dentistry, Dr. Mariam loves going to the beach, hiking and enjoying a good brunch. She loves to spend time with her husband and daughter.

Dr. Mariam feels so blessed to go to work with her family everyday.
