Dr. Valerie Drake grew up in a small town in Texas. As a former nationally ranked junior tennis player and valedictorian of her class in high school, she has always strived to be the best at whatever she does. Accordingly, your mouth will be in good hands with Dr. Drake.

Dr. Drake grew up around dentistry. Her father is a dentist, so she was helping out in her familys dental office from the time she could walk. After attending the University of Texas in Austin for her undergraduate degree, she earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Baylor College of Dentistry (Texas A&M College of Dentistry). She began practicing dentistry in 1999.

Outside of the office, Dr. Drake has a passion for serving the local community. She is a board member of Texas State Technical College Dental Hygiene School. Previously, she served as a board member for the American Cancer Society.

Dr. Drake is not content to take it easy. Instead, she takes many continuing education courses to make sure she is up to date on all the latest dental care techniques. She holds a Fellowship from both the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) and the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI), as well as a Mastership from the same organization.

Aberdeen Smiles has always had stellar customer service! My experience with them, my children and self included, has made us very comfortable during a routine clean to procedures! Im thankful to find a truly amazing family dentist. Ashlee J.

The hygienist and dentist were both patient and kind to my daughter. She loves going there and she has only been there once. I would recommend Aberdeen Smiles to any parent. Thanks, Ladies!! Martina S.

Dr. Drake and the staff at Aberdeen Smiles provides an amazing and positive experience. I had extractions done and was pain free and very quick. I got upper and lower dentures and they are absolutely amazing. Great fit and look awesome. I cant thank Dr Drake and staff for such an amazing experience. I would recommend them very to friends and family. Roger Rohde

Very nice people! I really like Aberdeen Smiles, I think the dentists are in too much of a hurry though. Id feel more comfortable with them taking a bit more time to make sure everything is 100% rather than just getting the patients in and out so we dont have to sit in the chair too long. Id rather sit too long so everything is right. Mandy Rae Greybuffalo

I went in for a cleaning, the hygienist was very pleasant and knowledgeable. I have a couple of teeth that need to be repaired, the dentist explained the procedure quite well. I highly recommend Aberdeen Smiles!!! Louie ODonnell

Dr. Christina Ky, performed nothing less than a miracle on My mouth today! Aberdeen Smiles was far better with Me and My circumstances than any other office in the surrounding area. I have never felt that much investment in customer satisfaction as I felt there. I am continuing to have a great relationship with this office and recommend it! Jose Hernandez

Ok so love this gal that cleans my teeth the whole staff is about NO PAIN so normally I would do a numbing rinse just to do a cleaning and it would have taken an hour or more and this gal only takes like 30 minutes altogether. Just shocked and love it.. so much anxiety when going and it just stops when you go there and super surprised!!! Will never Lauri Uecker

Dr. Ky is amazing! Would recommend her to everyone! Shes super thorough and explains what she is doing and why, while wanting everything to be the best! The staff has always been super nice and accommodating. They are all wonderful people. Megan Ostrowski

Dr. Christina Ky grew up in the suburbs of Dallas, TX. When she was a teenager, her dentist taught her preventive measures, which removed her fear of the unknown from dentistry. This interaction inspired her to become that type of dentist for her future patients. She attended the University of Texas at Dallas and then went on to Baylor College of Dentistry (Texas A&M College of Dentistry), where she earned her DDS in 2010.

Dr. Kys patients love that she works to make dentistry simple to understand. She is empathetic and does her best to remove any negative aspects that people tend to associate with going to the dentist. When a patient feels like their oral health is out of control, Dr. Ky likes giving them options and confidence knowing that she can help them achieve their goals.

In fact, the best part of her job is hearing a patient say, No one has ever told me that before. She enjoys helping patients understand prevention, the process of tooth changes, wear and tear over time, and how to have better dental health. Dr. Ky works with her patients to understand dentistry better so that she can become their partner in creating healthier smiles.
