Meet Our Dental Staff

When you’re looking for a dentist, credentials and technology matter, but what most people are really searching for is someone who will listen. Someone who will take the time to understand your concerns, explain your options clearly, and treat you with the same care they’d give a member of their own family. That kind of experience doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of a dentist who has made it a deliberate, career-long commitment.

Dr. Shaila Kabani is the founder and lead dentist at Kabani Dental, where she has spent over 20 years building a practice rooted in meaningful patient relationships, comprehensive care, and a deeply personalized experience. For Dr. Kabani, dentistry has always been about more than treating teeth. It’s about understanding the whole person, earning trust, and helping every patient feel confident in their care.

A Philosophy Centered on the Patient

Dr. Kabani’s approach begins before treatment ever starts. Our practice conducts pre-clinical interviews with new patients to understand not just their dental health, but their values, concerns, and long-term goals. This process reflects something Dr. Kabani has always believed: that a great treatment plan starts with a great conversation.

Her clinical philosophy centers on preserving natural tooth structure whenever possible, focusing on long-term oral health, and creating individualized plans that make sense for each patient’s unique situation. She explains the reasoning behind every recommendation, so patients leave not just treated, but genuinely informed.

Advanced Training and Lifelong Learning

Dr. Kabani’s commitment to her patients extends well beyond the walls of the office. Continuing education is essential for dentists to maintain the high standards of care patients deserve, and Dr. Kabani takes that responsibility seriously. Since 2018, she has been an active participant in The Pankey Institute, one of the most respected programs in the country for advanced training in comprehensive, relationship-based dentistry.

Her education spans two continents. Dr. Kabani earned her Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from De ‘Montmorency College of Dentistry in Pakistan in 2000, followed by her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) College of Dentistry in 2009. That dual foundation, combined with decades of hands-on practice and continuous advanced learning, gives her a breadth of perspective that directly benefits our patients.

Expertise Across a Range of Services

Dr. Kabani has developed specialized expertise across comprehensive and cosmetic dentistry, restorative care, implant placement, and orthodontics. She holds certifications from Nobel, Zimmer, and Straumann for dental implants, as well as 3D imaging certification. Kabani Dental has been recognized as the Best Cosmetic Practice in East Cobb for multiple years running, a reflection of the dedication she brings to every patient’s smile.

Our practice invests in advanced dental technology not because it’s impressive, but because it makes care more precise, efficient, and comfortable for patients. From CAD/CAM same-day crowns and 3D CBCT imaging to digital impressions and 3D printing for night guards and splints, every tool in the office serves the same purpose: a better experience and a better outcome for the people who trust us with their care.

A Commitment to Community

Dr. Kabani’s care extends far beyond the dental chair. She is actively involved in health education, prevention outreach, and initiatives that promote wellness and access to health resources across the community. As Chair of the Aga Khan Health Board for the Southeast United States, she plays a direct role in shaping how health information and resources reach underserved populations.

This commitment to community health isn’t separate from her clinical work. It’s an extension of the same belief that drives everything she does in our family and general dentistry practice: that everyone deserves access to quality care and the knowledge to make good decisions about their health.

Beyond the Office

When Dr. Kabani isn’t in the office or serving her community, she enjoys spending time with her family, including her husband Aamir, who is actively involved and supportive of the practice, and their daughter Anida. Outside of dentistry, she is passionate about traveling, reading, photography, and staying active.

Those who know Dr. Kabani often describe her as someone who makes you feel genuinely heard. That instinct to listen, to slow down and understand before acting, is as present in her personal life as it is in her clinical work.

Experience the Kabani Dental Difference

For Dr. Kabani, every patient interaction comes back to one simple principle: listen carefully, treat thoughtfully, educate honestly, and care for every patient the way she would want her own family to be cared for. That principle guides every appointment, every treatment plan, and every relationship built inside our walls.
