    Afra Saleh, DDS

    Orthodontist

    Dr. Afra Saleh grew up in Los Angeles, CA and Toronto, Canada. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at UCLA, and her Doctor of Dental Surgery at Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC.  
     
    Dr. Saleh entered the dental field because it allowed her to combine her passion for helping people with her love for art and esthetics.

    Her favorite aspect of Orthodontics is that every individual case is unique, requiring a tailored solution for each patient. Each smile transformation is an individual journey that Dr. Saleh enjoys from start to finish.
