DR. AYESHA SULTAN grew up in Naperville before graduating from the University of Illinois at Chicago with honors in Biology and receiving her Doctorate in Dental Medicine at Western University of Health Sciences. After several years of practice in Philadelphia where she primarily focused on Cosmetic and Comprehensive General Dentistry, she returned to the Midwest and joined Weller Dental Group. She is now an active member of the American Dental Association, Illinois Dental Society, and Chicago Dental Society. When she’s not practicing dentistry, she can be found spending time with family and friends, reading, or trying different cuisines.

Who is your role model?

My mother. She initially stayed at home to raise my brother and me for many years before pursuing her goals of becoming a librarian. My passion for reading and love of learning grew stronger because of my mom. I see her as the definition of the perfect balance in successfully managing a career, family, and household.

How do you impact your clients?

It has been shown in several studies that your smile impacts the success of your business and personal relationships more than any other aspect of your appearance. My focus is to help my patients achieve beautiful and healthy smiles. I dedicate time to understanding my patient’s dental history, needs, and goals prior to putting my gloves on. I strongly believe in the benefits of keeping an open dialogue of communication with my patients to help enhance their oral health.

What advice would you give to future Power Women?

Enjoy the moment now. This is a journey we all go through in life and will look back and wish we were living more in the present.
