Sharon Namazi, MS, DDS
Dr. Sharon Namazi has dedicated her career to transforming painful dental experiences into opportunities for healing, comfort, and compassionate care. Her passion for endodontics was sparked at age ten when she endured severe tooth pain that required emergency treatment and a root canal. What could have remained a difficult childhood memory instead became the foundational inspiration for her lifelong commitment to helping patients overcome dental pain and preserve their natural teeth.
Today, Dr. Namazi is recognized for her expertise in diagnosing and treating complex tooth pain through patient-centered care that emphasizes empathy, precision, and advanced clinical techniques. She completed her endodontic residency and earned a Master of Oral Sciences degree at the University of Michigan in 2025. Prior to her specialty training, she gained extensive clinical experience in private practice and completed a fellowship in prosthodontics, strengthening her interdisciplinary expertise in both restorative and endodontic care. Her international dental education and advanced training in the United States have equipped her with a broad, comprehensive approach to patient treatment.
Deeply committed to education and mentorship, Dr. Namazi spent nearly three years teaching anatomy to dental and medical students and residents before beginning her specialty training at the University of Michigan. She lectured, mentored, and supervised students in classrooms, laboratories, and clinics, reflecting her dedication to advancing the field and helping future clinicians build strong foundational knowledge.
Clinically, Dr. Namazi specializes in root canal therapy, retreatment cases, endodontic microsurgery, pain management, vital pulp therapy, and regenerative endodontic procedures. She is an active member of the American Association of Endodontists, Michigan Dental Association, and American Dental Association.
Dr. Namazi is especially excited to join Motown Children’s Surgery Center, where she will provide specialized endodontic care for children with special needs. This opportunity represents a meaningful full-circle moment, allowing her to support young patients experiencing the same type of dental pain that once shaped her own journey.
Through technical excellence, genuine compassion, and a relentless focus on patient comfort, Dr. Namazi continues to make a lasting impact in the fields of endodontics and pediatric endodontic care.

What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I enjoy most is that endodontics has been my true passion since childhood. At an early age, I experienced an extremely severe toothache that required emergency treatment and a root canal. The intense pain left a lasting impression on me and inspired a deep desire to help others going through the same thing.
When I entered dental school and learned about the different specialties, I knew right away that endodontics was my calling. I love performing root canal therapy and saving natural teeth. While it can be challenging, it’s incredibly rewarding work.
I’m especially excited to now be joining Motown Children’s Surgery Center, where I will provide endodontic care for children with special needs under general anesthesia. It feels like a full-circle moment that connects directly back to my own childhood experience. Being able to help young patients overcome dental pain and fear is deeply meaningful to me.
