Stafford Smile Design Introduces Dr. Kiah Zaremba
Stafford Smile Design is a trusted dental practice offering comprehensive services to the community. Dr. Kiah Zaremba, an associate dentist with the practice for two years, is passionate about delivering routine and emergency dental care, including same-day crowns, implants, and Invisalign treatments. “My philosophy as a dentist is to provide quality, conservative dental care,” Dr. Zaremba shares. “I strive to treat every patient to the best of my ability and give them the same care that I would give someone in my family.”
Dr. Zaremba’s journey into dentistry began at a young age, inspired by her childhood dentist, who made each visit enjoyable. During her college years at William and Mary, she joined Global Brigades and traveled to underserved communities in Panama and Honduras. “Assisting the dentist on these trips really solidified my choice to become a dentist,” she says. “Not only was the dentistry aspect fascinating, it was also very powerful to be able to help someone and give them a better quality of life by providing dental care.”
After earning her degree from Howard University’s dental school, Dr. Zaremba continued her training with a two-year general practice residency at NYU Langone Hospital in Brooklyn. There, she learned from a team of seasoned professionals. “I’ve been really lucky to always have great mentors who inspire me in dentistry,” she recalls. “The attendings at NYU Langone modeled the type of dentist I aspire to be—knowledgeable, personable, and caring.” Dr. Zaremba finds this same ethos at Stafford Smile Design in her work with Dr. Hughes. “I am fortunate enough to work with Dr. Hughes, who carries that same patient-centered philosophy,” she explains. “One of the things I enjoy most about my job is the people that I work with. We have a very down-to-earth team who make the workday fun.”
Working in Stafford holds special meaning for Dr. Zaremba, as she’s serving in the community where she grew up. “After spending time working in New York City and Northern Virginia, I can truly say there is no place like home,” she shares. “Everyone I come across in Stafford is incredibly warm and kind.”
Dr. Zaremba’s favorite workdays at Stafford Smile Design involve food, whether it’s a holiday potluck or a Crumbl cookie taste test. The office also has a lovable Red Fox Lab named Ruby, who brings even more joy to their work environment. Outside of work, Dr. Zaremba enjoys taking tap dance classes at Amyclae Dance Academy and Pilates at Orofino Wellness. Recently married, she and her husband share a home with their three-year-old dog, Coco, who Dr. Zaremba calls “our pride and joy.”
With her commitment to quality care and love for the Stafford community, Dr. Zaremba brings a unique blend of expertise and heart to Stafford Smile Design. She and Dr. Hughers are dedicated to ensuring every patient feels genuinely cared for and valued, and their patient-centered approach is at the core of the practice.
