MEET DR. IMAM
Dr. Imam was born and raised in Cairo, Egypt where he studied in a British international school and enjoyed playing water polo for six years.
Although his parents are civil engineers, he chose dentistry because it combines engineering and medicine and satisfies his passion for detail and excellence. He earned his first of two dental degrees from Cairo University Dental School and graduated in the top 5% of his class. After completing a general practice residency at Cairo University Dental School, he worked in private practice.
He relocated to the United States after being invited to the International Dentist Education Program at the University of Texas (UT) Health San Antonio School of Dentistry. He earned his second DDS degree, then completed a two-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency Program—an achievement attained by less than 1–2% of dentists in the nation. Afterward, he was appointed to the faculty, working in the faculty practice and teaching dental school students and residents part-time.
Dr. Imam lives in San Antonio with his wife, Amina, and son, Ali. He likes living in the city because it’s large, yet has a small-town feel. And it has great food and outdoor activities. Dr. Imam and his family enjoy traveling, working out, and outdoor activities. They also enjoy spending time with two four-legged members of the family, Tank and Zuma.
DR. IMAM’S TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY
“Cosmetic dentistry is very demanding, yet extremely rewarding because it makes me feel that I have made a real impact on a patient’s life.
We start with facial-driven treatment planning and work as an interdisciplinary team of dental specialists to serve our patients. Our goal is to treat patients for their lifetime and help them achieve and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.”

Dr. Imam is very patient & caring
“I am terrified of dental visits, but the staff at M.I. Dental Designs put me at ease every time I visit. You are made to feel very welcomed from the moment you step into the office. Dr. Imam is very patient & caring. He explains the process & is very calming. I will not go anywhere besides My Smile Artist; they have redeemed my faith in the dental process! Excellent!!”

Dr. Imam’s perfectionism is what has impressed me the most
“I have been seeing Dr. Imam for the past three years for full mouth reconstruction. Dr. Imam’s perfectionism is what has impressed me the most. No small detail is missed not only does he insist the teeth look great but also insist that the fit is comfortable for me.
Dr. Imam evaluates the situation, develops a plan, discusses in detail what his vision for your smile is and how to complete this vision, and this in turn becomes your new vision on how your smile will look. I have had a Periodontist who examine me exclaim that she could not tell where the original tooth ended and the crowns began. Dr. Mo as I refer to him truly cares for his patients and I receive compliments on my smile if not daily at least weekly. I actually look forward to my visits with Dr. Mo. The eyes are the windows to the soul and your smile is the front door.”
