Dr. Andrew Afshar, Oral Surgeon in Dublin

Dr. Noureddin Khazam's path to becoming a restorative dentist in Dublin started where he grew up, in Mediterranean city in Libya. After completing his dental degree at the Tripoli University College of Dentistry, he studied at New York University, followed by a two-year residency in Ohio. His passion for restorative dentistry and sharing knowledge led him to become apart of the clinical faculty at Case Western Reserve School of Dentistry.

‍

The inspiration for Dr. Khazam's career choice came from a personal place—witnessing his grandmother's struggles with dentures. As he pursued his dental education, he decided to focus on dental implants and full mouth dental implants as solutions that could significantly improve patients' quality of life - especially those who have had similar experiences with temporary solutions like his grandmother’s dentures.

He enjoys a range of activities and hobbies such as going to the gym, playing soccer, traveling, and exploring new cities. As an avid learner, he continuously takes dental courses to keep up to date on the latest technologies and techniques in dentistry.

Dr. Andrew Afshar, a proud native of Cleveland, brings a unique blend of artistic talent and scientific curiosity to his role as an oral surgeon in Dublin. His journey into dentistry was inspired by the positive experiences he had with his own dentist and orthodontist while growing up. Being artistic himself and wanting to find a career where he could work with his hands made oral and maxillofacial surgery the perfect choice.
