LEE, Mass. — A new dental practice is focused solely on ensuring Berkshire County children have bright smiles.

 

Husband and wife duo Drs. Muhammed Saif and Myra Jehangir, both board-certified pediatric dentists, will open Peak Smiles Pediatric Dentistry on March 2. 

 

They had been working at a dental office in Chicopee when they realized many families were coming from the county to see them.

 

"We saw a vast majority of patients. And what we noticed pretty quickly was there was a huge need in the Berkshire County, because a lot of our patients were actually commuting from Pittsfield, North Adams, Great Barrington, to get to our office in Chicopee," Saif said.

 

They decided to open an office in Lee, feeling it was a middle point in the county for the patients they were seeing.

 

They obtained the space in June and began the transformation into a dental office. The only challenge was a plumbing issue that has since been fixed.

 

Saif trained at New York University's College of Dentistry and did his residencies at NYU Langone Dental Medicine and Johns Hopkins. Jehangir graduated from the University of Maryland, and did her residencies at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, and NYU Langone Health in Holyoke.
