Our Story

Newbury Dental was established first in 1961 as Lambing Dental by Dr. Robert Lambing, Sr. and then his son Dr. Robert Lambing Jr. 

In 2018, due to an injury that inhibited his ability to practice dentistry, Dr. Robert Lambing, Jr. had to make the difficult decision of ending his career. Since many of his patients were not only his patients, but also his father’s, given the 57-year history of the practice, he conducted an extensive search for dentists who would serve with the quality and philosophy that the community had come to desire and expect from the practice. Avoiding offers from large dental corporations, whom he believed would damage the legacy and the personal touch the practice maintained, Dr. Lambing finally found the dentists he was looking for.

Believing in the same philosophy of care embedded in the historied community establishment, Drs. Cammellia Askari and Leyla Sahabi became the new owners of Lambing Dental in November of 2018. Having met as dental students a decade earlier while attending Boston University, they lived in the same building, which was steps away from the famed Newbury Street in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood. As such, the new female owners renamed the practice Newbury Dental to reflect a piece of their own personal histories, while maintaining and promoting the spirit and character of Lambing Dental. 

The practice’s new chapter has included many technological and esthetic upgrades. Newbury Dental is proud of its background and welcomes its patients to experience a private dental practice that combines a great history with the latest techniques and technology!
