Dr. Narain Paryani

Growing up in Toronto, “Dentistry just seemed like the right fit for me,” Dr. Paryani says. “There’s so much art and science. I’ve always loved working with my hands.” But the appeal was deeper than that: “I really like helping people. It’s super rewarding, and I’m grateful to be able to do that every day.”

For Dr. Paryani, great dental care means treating his patients like family. “I do everything I can to personalize care,” he says. “Get to know my patients and what their needs are. Any fears. If there’s anything in particular they’re hoping to resolve. And work toward building trust. Trust is a big deal.”

As important as trust? Education. “My job is to help you achieve a better understanding of your oral wellness,” he says. “That’s key to keeping you as healthy as possible.”
