FOUNDER OF SEVEN BRIDGES DENTAL STUDIO
DOWNERS GROVE/WOODRIDGE–When Fariha was in dental school she had visions of heated/massage seats, Bluetooth sunglasses, and televisions on the ceiling when she imagined her own future practice that focused on the patient experience while also offering the most advanced treatment options like veneers, implants, and clear aligners.
“My mother, Habeeba, taught me from a young age that anything I aspire to achieve is possible with hard work and perseverance,” Fariha shares. “My husband, Akif was my sounding board throughout the process, helping me balance my personal and professional goals while raising our three beautiful girls, Haniya (6), Hafsa (3) and Zara (8 months).”
She built her dream practice, Seven Bridges Dental Studio from scratch while keeping her passion for oral health and community at the forefront.
“For every new patient that joins my practice I work with Blessings in a Backpack to provide three weekends worth of meals to a child facing food insecurity locally,” she adds.
Fariha is passionate, artistic, and driven, striving to be the best in all aspects of her life. She lives by the mantra, Don't limit your aspirations to others' expectations. Believe in yourself, envision your success and work towards your goals because your dream can become reality!
