Dr. Ghazala Zaid, DMD
Principal dentist — braces & comprehensive dentistry
Dr. Ghazala Zaid, DMD, is the principal dentist at Cedarbrae Dental Center. She earned her dental degree at Penn Dental Medicine and leads the practice with a strong interest in braces, orthodontic treatment, and comprehensive dentistry for patients of every age. Her approach centers on listening first: understanding what a patient wants from their smile and their care before recommending a plan, and explaining every option clearly enough that the decision always feels like the patient's own.
Dr. Zaid is especially attentive to patients who feel nervous about the dentist or who are returning to care after time away. She believes a judgment-free visit is the foundation of good dentistry — that patients do their best when they feel heard rather than lectured, and that trust is built one honest conversation at a time.
Dr. Zaid has helped shape Cedarbrae Dental Center into a multilingual practice where care can be discussed in nine languages, from Urdu and Hindi to Arabic, Gujarati, Spanish, Pashto, Tagalog, and Dari, so language is never a barrier to understanding your treatment. She works closely with the associate dentists so that every patient, regardless of who they see, receives the same unhurried, comfort-first attention.
