Meet the Buena Park Dental Office Team
At Buena Park Dental Center, you're getting to know two doctors and a team who treat you like a neighbor, not a number. Our Buena Park dental office team pairs a founding cosmetic specialist with a general dentist and practice owner, so you get artistic smile design and everyday family care from the same trusted group. New patients are always welcome here, whether you're due for a cleaning or you've been putting off treatment for years. Life gets busy, so we offer evening hours Monday through Wednesday plus Saturday appointments, making it easier to fit a visit into your week.
Your Buena Park Dental Office Team
The People Behind
Your Care
Every patient who walks through our door meets a team that has worked together for years. That kind of familiarity matters. Our front office staff, hygienists, and assistants know your name, your history, and often your kids' names too. Behind that team stand two doctors with different strengths and one shared goal: helping you keep a healthy, confident smile for the long run.
Our Story and Practice Philosophy
Buena Park Dental Center started more than two decades ago when Dr. Mona Fahmy opened her doors with a simple idea: dentistry should feel personal. That philosophy hasn't changed. Today, the practice combines her cosmetic artistry with Dr. Peter Zakhary's general and restorative expertise, giving patients one place they can turn to for almost any dental need. We believe comfort comes first. That means gentle techniques, clear explanations before any treatment, and a team that listens more than it lectures. Whether you're here for a routine cleaning or a full smile makeover, our goal stays the same: care that fits your life and puts you at ease.

Why Patients Trust Our Team
Many of our patients have been coming here for years, some for decades. They call this their dental home, and that kind of loyalty says more about our team than any advertisement could. Part of that trust comes from having both cosmetic depth and general expertise in one place. You don't need to be referred out for a smile makeover or sent elsewhere for a filling. Our services cover cosmetic, general, and restorative care under one roof, with two doctors who bring different strengths to your treatment plan. Curious what other patients have to say? Take a look at our Patient Testimonials page to hear directly from people we've treated.
A Modern, Comfort-Focused Office
Our office has been updated with modern tools designed to make appointments faster and more comfortable. Digital X-rays and digital impressions mean less time in the chair, and our Virtual Smile Consultation platform lets you preview certain cosmetic results before treatment begins. For patients who feel nervous, we offer sedation options like nitrous oxide to help you relax during your visit. Every detail, from the equipment we use to the way we talk you through a procedure, is built around one idea: your comfort matters as much as your dental health.
