Mr Hamza Miari

Dr. Hamza Miari has always had a positive association with dentistry, recalling childhood visits where the strawberry fluoride foam was a favorite part. Though he never had braces or major dental work, it wasn’t until high school that dentistry came onto his radar. During graduation week, while reflecting on potential clinical careers, a routine dental visit turned into a pivotal moment. After sharing his uncertainty with his dentist, Dr. Williams invited him to shadow for the day. The patient interactions and focus on oral health sparked a deep interest that quickly grew into a calling. Dr. Miari values dentistry for the meaningful relationships it builds with patients and the immediate, visible results it can provide. He loves that the field allows him to make a real difference, whether by restoring function or transforming a smile. His goal is to bring comfort and confidence to his patients and ensure they leave the chair with a genuine, beaming smile. Originally from Lebanon, Dr. Miari immigrated to the U.S. in 2008 as a Palestinian refugee and has called Des Moines home ever since. He is fluent in Arabic and enjoys travel, cooking, movies, and exploring local cafes in his free time.
