Meet the Team

Dr. Irum was born and raised in Pakistan where she practiced as a dentist for 6 years before moving to Michigan with her family. Once she was settled stateside, she earned her DDS from the University of the Pacific in San Francisco. After graduating, she moved back to Michigan and practiced in Southfield before opening Opal Dental Group with her son.

Dr. Irum’s favorite part of dentistry is taking care of her patients and meeting them where they are. She understands that fear can keep many people from optimal oral health, so in order to better care for her patients who experience dental anxiety, she earned her certificate in Oral Sedation in 2008.

Stephanie grew up in Saint Clair Shores, Michigan. She attended the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry, where she received her Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene. Since graduation, Stephanie has spent her time at Opal Dental Group, helping a vast variety of patients achieve their optimal oral health.

Stephanie is very passionate about educating patients on the importance of oral hygiene and taking the proper measures to get each individual patient on the right track back to a healthy mouth. No two mouths are the same, so she takes great pleasure in working one-on-one with each patient to find new and creative ways to motivate each individual into achieving their oral health-based goals.
