Dr. Mustafa was born and raised in Chapel Hill, NC. She earned her undergraduate degree from NC State University and completed her dental education at East Carolina University. Shortly after, she pursued a General Practice Residency at Bronx Lebanon Hospital in New York, expanding her clinical skills.

 

After residency, Dr. Mustafa practiced general dentistry, including at a local health department that focuses on children’s oral care and operates a dental bus, where she discovered her passion for pediatric dentistry. She then specialized at Temple University, completing an intensive two-year residency program with hands-on training in pediatric behavior management, sedation techniques, hospital dentistry, and special needs care, ultimately becoming a board-certified pediatric dentist.

 

Dr. Mustafa creates enjoyable, stress-free dental visits to instill lifelong healthy oral habits and foster positive attitudes toward oral care—teaching children that dentistry is approachable, preventive care is empowering, and regular check-ups build confidence for healthy smiles throughout life. 

 

Outside the office, she engages in community outreach, promotes oral health education, and stays current through ongoing professional development.

 

In her free time, Dr. Mustafa enjoys traveling to new destinations, staying active with workouts and hiking scenic trails, and cherishing quality moments with her family and close friends.
