In Her Own Words
Meet Dr. Ambereen Fatima
Before you sit in the chair, hear directly from Dr. Fatima — her story, her training, and the patient-first philosophy that shapes every visit at Innova Smiles.
Our Dentist

General Dentist
“I didn’t choose dentistry because I loved teeth. I chose it because of what happens when someone finally loves their smile.”
Hi, I’m Dr. Fatima. I’ll tell you the truth: the part of this job I love most isn’t the dentistry itself. It’s the first time a patient I’ve worked with for months opens their phone, sees a candid photo of themselves laughing, and doesn’t reach to delete it. That’s the moment that’s kept me in this chair for thirteen years.
I live in Southborough, five minutes from the office, and I picked MetroWest on purpose. I wanted to know my patients by name. To remember that you’re starting a new job next month, that your daughter just got braces, that you’ve been putting off the implant conversation for two years and you’re finally ready. Larger practices can’t do that. We can.
I went further with implants, clear aligners, and full smile makeovers because I didn’t want to send my patients across town to a specialist for the cases that matter most to them. My fellowships through the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (FICOI) and the American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics (FAAIP) mean we can handle the complex work here, under one roof: the implant placement, the bone graft, the cosmetic finish. One team that already knows you.
When Dr. Daniel O’Brien handed me the keys to a practice he’d led for 36 years, what he really handed me was his patients, three generations of some Marlborough families. That responsibility shapes how I practice every day. Whether you were one of Dr. O’Brien’s patients, you’re new to MetroWest, or you’ve been quietly looking for a dentist you can actually trust: come meet me. I’m welcoming new patients now, and the first visit is the easy part.
