Hajirah Afridi
,
DMD
General Dentist

I've always been drawn to dentistry because of its unique blend of art and science. The combination of technical skill and creative expression resonates with me, and I find it incredibly rewarding to be able to make a positive impact on my patients' lives.  My journey to becoming a dentist has been a winding one. Born in the United States, I spent part of my childhood abroad, where I earned my first dental degree in 2012. I then went on to complete a 4-year residency in orthodontics, which deepened my understanding of the complexities of the dental field.  After deciding to return to the United States, I attended Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, where I was honored to be on the Dean's List throughout the program. Although my background is in orthodontics, I've discovered a new passion for general dentistry, and I enjoy the variety and challenges that come with it.  In addition to my dental training, I'm also certified in Botox therapy, including its use in treating TMJ-related issues and headaches. My patients appreciate my gentle and compassionate approach, and I strive to build long-lasting relationships with each and every one of them.  Outside of the office, I'm a devoted wife and mother of three young children under the age of 6. My husband, also a foreign-trained dentist, is currently pursuing his degree at Tufts, and we're loving the experience of navigating this journey together. When I'm not spending time with my family, you can find me in the kitchen, experimenting with new recipes and flavors.  As a dentist, I'm committed to providing exceptional care and making a positive impact on my patients' lives. I'm grateful for the opportunity to do what I love every day, and I look forward to building a lifelong relationship with each and every one of my patients.

Stephen Breaud
,
DDS
Orthodontist

Dr. Breaud was born in New Orleans, that’s the reason Texans have a hard time pronouncing his last name (Bro). He moved to Lubbock, Tx when he was 3 weeks old, so he can’t claim to be a Texan but he got here as soon as he could. After growing up in Lubbock, he decided to see the world, so went to the University of Texas in Austin and then on to Dallas where he attended Baylor College of Dentistry and specialize in Orthodontics.

After school, he joined his father’s orthodontic practice back in Lubbock. Shortly after moving back to Lubbock he met and married the love of his life, Diane, and her 2 sons. He has 2 grandsons that he is so proud of. Dr.Breaud decided to move back to Dallas to be closer to his oldest son, Rob, the Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers and Dallas Mavericks.

He loves orthodontics and getting to know all of his patients and their families. Being in someone’s life for a couple of years, lets him really get to know them and be an intricate part of their lives. He has years of experience with braces and Invisalign, so you can be confident that he can improve your bite and smile.
