Dr Poya Jafari

As a family-oriented dentist near Plainville, Attleboro Dental Group is pleased to have Dr. Jafari as a member of our clinical team. As the son of Iranian immigrants, he grew up with parents who worked in the science/medical field. While growing up, he developed a passion for science and enjoyed working with his hands. During high school, on a trip to Iran with his family, he embraced the opportunity to shadow a few dentists. Afterward, he realized that dentistry would be the ideal career choice, as it would allow him to combine his interests in engineering and biology. Attending the University of Massachusetts for his undergraduate studies, he enrolled at the University of Connecticut for dental school. There, he completed two years of medical school and two years of dental school, enhancing his perspective of the field. While at New York Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, he received the Prosthetic Dentistry Award for his clinical performance. Inspired by countless mentors, peers, and instructors, he knew general dentistry was where he wanted to thrive. While in dental school, Dr. Jafari and several friends organized a mission trip to Honduras to provide dental care to underserved communities. When he isn’t busy changing lives and smiles, Dr. Jafari spends his time snowboarding with friends in New Hampshire and Vermont and often visits Killington and Loon. You’ll also find him hiking in southern Utah and using his hands to practice woodworking. Originally from Auburn, MA, Dr. Jafari always knew that he loved biology, but wasn’t sure where he would take his passion for science as a career.
