Meet Dr. Kelechi Okafor
Dr. Kelechi Okafor believes a confident smile can change lives — at work, at home, and in the community.
A first-generation Nigerian American with roots in both North Carolina and Texas, Dr. Okafor shares the values of family, education, and resilience with many of her patients in Richmond, Katy, Sugar Land, and across Greater Houston.
Her journey began as a dental hygienist, where she saw firsthand how much a healthy smile can transform a person’s confidence. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Dental Hygiene from UNC–Chapel Hill and later her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Howard University, followed by advanced training at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City.
With over 15 years of dental experience across hospital, military, public health, and private practice dentistry, Dr. Okafor brings the best of each into her work at Pampered Smiles Dentistry. Patients appreciate her gentle touch, attention to detail, and dedication to making every visit comfortable and stress-free.
Beyond Dentistry
Outside the office, Dr. Okafor is a proud wife and mom of two. She enjoys traveling, live music, and staying active — you may even catch her on the Peloton leaderboard (tarheelkelz, add her!).
She loves connecting with people not just as patients, but as neighbors, families, and friends who make up the vibrant Richmond and Houston community.
