The mind and heart behind your care.

Alina Jafferbhoy, DMD

General Dentist

Dr. Alina Jafferbhoy is a warm and caring general dentist with a deep passion for pediatric oral health. She completed her undergraduate studies at The University of Texas at Austin and earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine(DMD) degree from A.T. Still University - Missouri School of Dentistry & Oral Health, where she also received a Certificate in Public Health with a dental emphasis.

Dr. Jafferbhoy has always been drawn to working with children and finds joy in helping young patients feel safe, comfortable, and proud of their smiles. She is especially passionate about creating positive dental experiences early in life, knowing that a child’s first impressions of the dentist can shape their lifelong attitudes toward oral health.

Her pediatric-focused approach includes gentle techniques, kid-friendly language, and behavior guidance strategies tailored to each child’s needs. She believes in treating the whole child, not just their teeth, by fostering trust, educating families, and encouraging healthy habits that last into adulthood. Her background in public health further supports her commitment to preventive care and improving access to dental services for all children.

Outside of dentistry, she enjoys traveling, hiking, reading, and spending quality time with her family and friends. She looks forward to welcoming your child into the dental home and making every visit a positive, confidence-building experience!

Cristiana (Kika) Araujo, DDS, MS

‍Board Certified Orthodontist

Dr. Araujo (or Dr. Kika – it’s easier!) received her dental degree in 2005 from the Catholic University of Minas Gerais, her home state in Brazil, where she grew up, and received her Certificate and Masters degree in Orthodontics from the Center for Advanced Dental Education at Saint Louis University, Missouri. After working at her family’s orthodontic practice, she joined the faculty at Jacksonville University School of Orthodontics in Florida in 2011, but has been calling Texas home since 2018. She is board-certified and belongs to numerous national and international dental and orthodontic associations. Dr. Kika loves a good story, a good joke and a good laugh: she has a firm belief that orthodontists should strive to be the beautiful smiles they help create, because otherwise, it is just straightening teeth!

Smiles Worth Raving About

“I have never before been to a doctor's office where every single employee is friendly, introduces themselves, and welcomes you to the office. The doctor provides excellent service as do all the assistants, office, and finance staff. Excellent payment plans and discounts for those without insurance. Came highly recommended from an excellent oral surgery practitioner. Excellent testimonial to an employer is the longevity of the staff. Many of his staff have been with him for many years. You can't go wrong with Alamo City Orthodontics.

“I took my son to Dr. G after seeing another orthodontist for two years. I wish I would’ve found Dr. G first. He is so knowledgeable and his staff is so friendly. I highly recommend him. Not only does he do a great job but he keeps you as a parent well informed of the process and the steps going forward. My son has been going to him for about six months in the 8 month process to correct his teeth where the other Orthodontist failed.
