Meet the Team

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.

Ready for a Different Dental Experience?

If you’re tired of dental appointments that feel rushed and impersonal, make the switch today. We promise a different kind of dental care—one where your individual needs and comfort are our top priority.

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!

Alla – Hygienist

Alla, our exceptional dental hygienist, brings over 20 years of experience, including 17 years in periodontal practice, to our team. Passionate about leading patients to healthier lives, she embodies a philosophy of service that goes beyond just dental care. When not in the clinic, Alla is a devoted mother of three and an adventurer at heart—whether that’s hitting the golf course, enjoying summer camping, or playing pool.
