Dr. Hamid Barkhordar, DDS, MMSc, holds the orthodontic team at Dentist of Montclair to the same standard he sets at every office under his name. Honest planning. Modern technology. No corners cut. Whether the case is straightforward alignment or something more complex, the goal is a result the patient is proud of and a process that does not feel rushed.
Dr. Hamid handles a full range of orthodontic treatments at Dentist of Montclair. From clear aligners that are nearly invisible to ceramic braces designed to blend with your natural smile, every option is matched to the patient sitting in front of him.
“The ideal treatment plan I had envisioned was not always the best option that the patient desired.”
Dr. Hamid's approach to orthodontic care has been shaped by years of working with patients of every age. Every plan at Dentist of Montclair starts with a real conversation about what you want from your smile. Where the right call is Invisalign, he will say so. Where braces deliver a better result, he will say that too. The recommendation always fits the patient, not the marketing.
Dr. Hamid earned his dental degree at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry before completing his orthodontic specialty training at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. His Harvard orthodontic training shapes every treatment plan he creates at Dentist of Montclair.
Dr. Hamid did not go into dentistry to run a business. He went into it to serve his community. That instinct still shapes how Dentist of Montclair operates, from the fees the front desk quotes to the calls he makes in the chair.
Dr. Hamid runs Dentist of Montclair the way he believes every office should run. The team is friendly and unhurried. The technology is modern. The conversations are honest. And the standards do not change between locations under his name.

Yes. Dr. Hamid treats orthodontic patients of every age, from children growing into their adult teeth through to adults who never had orthodontic care as kids or want a refresh later in life. His Harvard orthodontic training covers the full range.
Yes. Invisalign is one of the most requested treatments at Dentist of Montclair, especially among adults and teens who want a more discreet option than traditional braces. Dr. Hamid will tell you straight whether Invisalign is the right choice for your specific alignment goals, or whether traditional or ceramic braces would deliver a better result.
Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires. Ceramic braces use tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend with your natural teeth, so they are far less visible while you wear them. Both work the same way mechanically. The choice usually comes down to appearance and budget. Dr. Hamid will walk you through both options at your consultation.
Yes. Dentist of Montclair offers financing options with no interest, so you can split the cost of treatment over an extended period. Dental treatment should not be out of reach because of upfront cost. The front desk will walk you through all financing options at your consultation.
