Get to Know Dr. Karimi
Dr. Farbode Karimi is a dedicated General Dentist at La Prada Family Dentistry who is passionate about helping patients feel comfortable, confident, and cared for during every visit. With a gentle approach and a focus on building long-term relationships, Dr. Karimi believes that one of the most rewarding parts of dentistry is giving patients peace of mind when they walk out the door knowing their oral health is in good hands.
Why Did You Decide to Become an Orthodontist?
Dr. Karimi’s journey into dentistry began during college when he shadowed a dentist and witnessed the strong, trusting relationships that developed with patients over time. Seeing how dentistry could positively impact a patient’s health while fostering long-term trust and connection solidified his decision to pursue the profession. He was inspired by the unique opportunity dentistry provides to blend hands-on healthcare with meaningful patient relationships.
Where Did You Study Dentistry?
Dr. Karimi attended the University of Texas at Austin for his undergraduate studies before earning his dental degree from Texas A&M College of Dentistry. He continues to expand his clinical skills through ongoing education, including advanced coursework in extractions, bone grafting techniques, and suturing hosted by board-certified prosthodontist Dr. Xavier Saab. Dr. Karimi is experienced in composite restorations, root canals, crown and bridge work, extractions, bone grafting, dentures, and deep cleanings. He also holds a Level 1 minimal sedation certification to help anxious or fearful patients receive treatment comfortably.
Outside of the Dental Office,
Originally from Richardson, Texas, Dr. Karimi grew up with his parents and two older sisters. Outside of dentistry, he enjoys staying active with regular workouts, cooking at home, and spending time with his dog. He’s a big movie enthusiast and loves exploring new restaurants and trying new foods. A fun fact about Dr. Karimi: he broke his left index finger during his first few months as a dentist—and was back to work just one week after surgery, a testament to his dedication and resilience.
