Dr. Kevin Cabugao
Hi, I’m Dr. Hafsa Wahid! I grew up just outside of Dallas, Texas, before heading east to pursue my education in dentistry. I earned my Master of Science in Oral Health Sciences from Boston University School of Medicine, followed by my doctoral degree from Boston University’s Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine. After dental school, I completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) program through NYU Langone Health at a community care clinic in Boston, where I gained hands-on experience treating a diverse range of patients. I called Boston home for about ten years before recently relocating to California to continue my career in dentistry.
I’m passionate about staying at the forefront of my field — I love keeping up with the latest advancements in dental technology and techniques so I can bring my patients the highest standard of care. I try to bring that same curiosity and dedication to every appointment, combining clinical expertise with genuine care for my patients’ well-being.
Outside the office, I love spending time with my family and friends. You’ll often find me exploring new coffee shops, hiking California’s trails, or hanging out at a local park with my daughter, who just turned two.

Why Patients Choose Our Castro Valley Office
Our Castro Valley team combines a strong cosmetic background with everyday family care, modern technology, and a calm, patient first approach. As an out of network office, our recommendations are based only on what is right for your smile, not on what an insurer will approve. We take the time to plan cosmetic and restorative work carefully so the result looks natural and lasts.
Preventive care protects everything we build, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that routine dental visits allow for oral health education, preventive services, and the early detection of problems such as cavities.
Is a Smile Makeover Right for You
Cosmetic dentistry is highly personal, and you may be a good candidate for a smile makeover in Castro Valley if any of the following apply.
- You feel self conscious about stained, chipped, or worn teeth.

- You have healthy gums and a stable bite, or are willing to address those first.
- You want a natural looking result rather than an obvious one.

- We complete a thorough exam and take any necessary digital images.
