The people behind your care matter just as much as the treatment itself. At Inova Dental Clinic, you’ll find a small, tight-knit team that knows your name, remembers your history, and treats you like a neighbor — because most of you are.

About Dr. Jafari, DDS

Dr. Jafari earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from West Virginia University in 1996 and has spent nearly three decades caring for Northern Virginia families. Her philosophy is straightforward: dentistry should be gentle, honest, and explained in plain language — never rushed, never judgmental.

Beyond general and preventive care, she holds advanced certifications in orthodontics and implant dentistry, which she puts to work every day in Invisalign and implant-restoration cases. Her experience spans family and preventive care, cosmetic dentistry, dental implant restorations, Invisalign, and same-day emergency care.

She’s also a Farsi-speaking dentist, proudly serving Northern Virginia’s Persian community. Google reviewers — 209 of them, averaging 5.0 stars — consistently describe her as thorough, kind, and willing to take time to show you exactly what she sees before anything begins.
