What people saying about us

  • Dr. Zahir is the absolute BEST! As picky as I am with a dentist, I have finally found one that I completely trust! The major work she has done for me is a few crowns and they look fantastic. The color match is perfect, and she is sooooo gentle…. She asks the entire time if you’re doing ok. I highly recommend Dr. Zahir. My husband and I both drive from Elizabeth City North Carolina to her in Chesapeake….she is well worth the hour drive ❤️

You can tell she takes great pride in what she does and that she cares for the health of her patients mouths. Her staff is wonderful as well. Everyone is super nice! From the ladies at the front desk, to those who help Dr. Zahir clean your teeth, and do your x-rays. You can just tell that you're in great hands. Not only do I love this office but my 6 year old is comfortable with them as well. I would give them 10 stars if I could. I definitely recommend Cedar Road Dental!
