Dr. Arif Karim, originally from Houston, earned his undergraduate degree at The University of Texas at Austin before receiving his doctor of dental surgery degree from The University of Texas School of Dentistry in San Antonio. During his time as a dental student, Dr. Karim demonstrated leadership and research skills, becoming the first student from his school to conduct dental research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Washington, DC.
Dr. Karim’s treatment philosophy focuses on educating his patients about their dental concerns while delivering the highest standard of endodontic care to ensure complete comfort. He understands that endodontic procedures can be stressful, so he prioritizes patient education and preparation to help reduce anxiety. Additionally, Dr. Karim offers various sedation options to assist patients who experience dental phobia.
After completing a residency in advanced general dentistry and practicing as a restorative dentist for two years in the Bay Area, Dr. Karim pursued further specialization at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, where he obtained his postgraduate specialty certificate in endodontics.
Dr. Karim is an active member of both the American Association of Endodontists (AAE) and the Texas Dental Association (TDA).
Outside of his professional work, he enjoys playing the acoustic guitar and piano, attending live music performances in Austin, hiking, snowboarding, and exploring new destinations.
I was referred here by Great Grins Dental for a root canal. My experience here renewed my trust in dentists! I had to get a root canal and had some pretty awful past experiences in the dentist chair (not at Great Grins!!), not to mention the general fear surrounding root canals. Dr. Karim took special care to explain everything and check in on me as we progressed. They also have a TV on the ceiling and headphones so I watched Netflix while they finished up the treatment. Overall, it was a great experience and the staff here are gentle and kind!
