Dr. Heni Tufa

I became a dentist because I love interacting with people and help them look and feel healthier. Combining my expertise in dental health care and serving my community may perhaps be the ultimate dream come true. My hope is to make the office a home away from home and the staff and patients an extension of my family!

I was raised in Macedonia where I obtained a Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree in 2006. I was in practice for few years, before I moved to the US in 2008. While living in Portland, Maine I had the pleasure of volunteering at a caring family dental practice and then a pediatric dental office. During this time, I also completed a Health Policy and Management Program at the University of Southern Maine.

My passion for dentistry took me on a path to license my degree at Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine. I received a Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) degree in 2013. As a passionate and lifelong learner always striving for excellence, I enjoyed my time at BU as it gave me the opportunity to draw parallels of how different dental treatments are rendered in different parts of the world. I graduated with top honors in my class and received the Outstanding Achievement and Excellence in Patient and Practice Management Award as well as the Quintessence Award for Clinical Achievement in Periodontics.

To provide best care for my patients and stay abreast of all changes and technological advancements in dentistry, I became an active Spear Dental Study Club member and regularly attend continuing education courses and seminars. In addition, I am a member of the American Dental Association, the Massachusetts Dental Society and an alumni member of the National Dental Honor Society. I feel incredibly lucky to be able to say I enjoy what I do, take great pride in my work and embrace any opportunity to become better.

I live here in Acton with my husband Kris and our eight-year old daughter Anabela. I love to spend time outdoors, whether gardening in our yard or going for a long walk. I try to stay active and enjoy biking, running, skiing, and snowboarding. In my free time, I like to cook for my family and friends.

I look forward to caring for each patient and I am grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of fellow local residents.
