Braxton Haremza, DDS

Dr. Braxton Haremza is not your typical dentist; he’s a seasoned professional with an extensive educational background. Having attended ASU for his undergraduate studies, he graduated from the WP Carey School of Business and further pursued his dental passion at Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry.


Born in Colorado, Dr. Braxton moved away at the tender age of one, spending his formative years in Phoenix, AZ. However, the call of his birthplace was strong, and he returned to Colorado in December 2018, bringing his expertise to Thornton, CO.


Being a member of esteemed dental associations, Dr. Haremza offers a vast range of services, always aiming for excellence in dental care and patient relationships. His approach to dentistry is simple yet impactful: “I treat everyone like they’re my family.” This philosophy, rooted deeply in trust, ensures long-lasting connections with his patients.

Outside the confines of the dental clinic, Dr. Braxton is an avid outdoorsman, enjoying activities like hiking. He also has a penchant for woodworking, crafting pieces with precision much like his dental work. And of course, there’s the playful energy of his new puppy, Osseo, keeping him on his toes.

Osseo – Our Furry
Therapist-in-Training

Born on December 24th, Osseo is a blend of Aussie and Mini Doodle. With dreams of becoming a therapy dog, he’s a hit among our patients, with a 99%+ approval rating. His name, inspired by dental surgery and the colors of an Oreo, reflects our playful passion. Bursting with morning energy, he loves his “Zoomies” and is an avid fan of fetch. From a squirrel toy to a carrot, he has his favorites. A mischievous escape artist in his puppy days, we once caught him climbing out of his playpen!

Felicia – Hygienist

With over 11 years in the dental field, I have found my true passion in helping patients rediscover their love for their smiles. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing someone light up when they realize the difference a beautiful smile can make. Building lasting relationships with our patients and being a part of their journey to better dental health brings me immense joy.

When I’m not at work, you can find me enjoying life outside the office. Whether I’m cooking up something new, diving into a good book, or exploring the stunning beauty of Colorado with my two daughters, I’m always keeping busy. I also love getting active – riding my motorcycle, paddle boarding on sunny days, and dancing Mexican folklorico with my daughters. We perform and travel all over Colorado, sharing our passion for this beautiful art form.

My work in dentistry isn’t just a job; it’s a chance to connect with and support the people I work with every day. It’s an honor to be a part of our patients’ lives and to help them feel confident and happy with their smiles.

I’m passionate about helping people achieve optimal health in all areas of their body, including their mouth. With 5 years of experience as a dental assistant, I’ve had the pleasure of educating and connecting with countless wonderful patients. It’s incredibly rewarding to make a positive impact on their overall health and well-being.

Outside of work, I love embracing my inner child by spending quality time with my 8-year-old daughter. We’re always up for new adventures, whether it’s skating at Skate City, hiking, or bouncing around at trampoline parks.

One of our favorite pastimes is traveling and discovering new destinations. Our recent trip to Destin, Florida, was a highlight – we had the unforgettable experience of seeing dolphins and swimming with jellyfish!

As a self-proclaimed foodie, I’m always on the lookout for new restaurants and flavors to try. After many years in the dental field, I’m thrilled to be here, continuing to build relationships and helping patients live their healthiest lives.

Estefani

Originally from Northeast Colorado, I made the move to the metro area two years ago and have been loving the new adventure. With 7 years of experience as a dental assistant, I find great joy in helping people feel more confident in their smiles. Being able to make a positive impact on someone’s self-esteem is incredibly rewarding.

I’m also passionate about traveling and spending quality time with my family. Whether we’re exploring new places or simply enjoying time together, family is at the heart of everything I do.

I’m excited to continue my journey in dentistry, helping others while building meaningful connections along the way.
