Today we’d like to introduce you to Mirahmad Kamali.
Hi Mirahmad, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I was in my twenties when war changed my life forever. In the early 1980s, during the Cold War, my homeland of Afghanistan was invaded by Soviet forces. Fear and uncertainty became part of everyday life. Many innocent people were killed, especially those who were educated or worked as professionals. Like many others searching for safety and hope, I made the difficult decision to leave everything behind and come to the United States as a political refugee.
Arriving in a new country with little more than determination, I knew I had to start from the beginning. I entered the dental laboratory field as an apprentice, learning the craft step by step with my hands and my heart. Slowly, I learned how to create crowns, bridges, dentures, and partials — work that restores not only teeth but dignity and confidence.
What began as survival became passion. For 43 years, I worked in dental technology. Every case represented a person trusting someone they would never meet to help them smile again. Knowing that my work allowed someone to eat comfortably, speak clearly, or laugh without embarrassment gave me pride every single day.
After retiring, I thought my working years were behind me. But over time, I noticed something that troubled me. People don’t break their dental prosthetics monday through Friday 9 to 5 they break their dentures or partials during evenings weekends, or holidays had nowhere to go. They called dental offices only to hear voicemail messages. Many felt helpless and embarrassed, forced to wait days for help. I realized I still had something valuable to offer. Instead of sitting idle in retirement, I decided to open my doors again — this time to help people when they needed it the most. I began offering emergency denture and partial repairs while patients wait, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Almost immediately, the phone began ringing. People were relieved, sometimes even emotional, to find someone willing to help them right away. Their gratitude, especially reflected in their Google reviews, has been one of the greatest rewards of my life.
After more than four decades in this profession, I am still doing what I love — helping people smile again.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
