Dr. Prater’s free time is spent with her family.  Her son keeps her and husband, Zein, very busy, not to mention their two dogs, a cat and a fish.  They believe being a parent provides the compassion to understand and help parents and patients accomplish the smiles they deserve.
Dr. Shahrzad Prater received her undergraduate degree from the University of Texas at Dallas.   She obtained her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Nevada Las Vegas.  She completed her post-doctoral residency training also at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, where she was awarded a degree in Advanced Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthodpedics.  This intensive post-graduate training exposed Dr. Prater to many different bracket systems, such as self ligating vs. traditional, Invisalign and ceramic brackets, and early treatment modalities to predict and modify jaw discrepancies.  Dr. Prater understands that a crooked smile is more than just crooked teeth and may be due to jaw asymmetries or discrepancies.
