DDS · Doctor of Dental SurgeryFounder, Forest Dental GroupImplant & cosmetic focusBakersfield, CA
Dr. Hamad built Forest Dental Group around a simple idea: precise, modern dentistry does not have to feel clinical. His approach is unhurried — every visit begins with listening, and every treatment plan is designed around your goals, comfort, and long‑term oral health.
"Your smile matters. It's the first thing people see — and the way you feel every time you use it."
Every appointment starts with listening. You'll never feel rushed or up-sold.
02
Advanced technology for precise, comfortable treatments
Modern imaging and digital planning translate to fewer visits and better outcomes.
03
A calm, family-friendly environment
A space designed to feel like a private clinic, not a waiting room.
04
Flexible appointments and convenient scheduling
Book online in under a minute, or call — we'll find a time that works.
05
Affordable care with multiple payment options
Insurance guidance and financing that make the right treatment achievable.
