Doctor and Team

Our team practices “whole health dentistry,” so you are not just a set of teeth, but a complex individual we want to know and understand as your dental care providers.  Your first visit will be unique and longer because we take time to get to know you, your history, and your goals for the future.  We believe you deserve the time and attention it takes to personalize your care.

We look at all aspects of your health, because we know from research how all the systems in our bodies are connected.  We are a resource for referrals to all kinds of providers as we treat many excellent physicians and their staff in the Houston area.

Trust and integrity are extremely important in our relationship with patients, and we treat everyone like friends and family.  We honor the trust you place in us by providing the highest quality of care possible. We invest in continuing education for the entire staff on a regular basis and enjoy learning and growing as a team.
