Dr. Butler has been expanding his dental knowledge and expertise for decades and shows no signs of slowing down. Not only has he pursued rigorous training at the Kois Center for dental implants and other services, but he has already achieved fellowship status with the Academy of General Dentistry, proving his dedication to the field and continuing his education well past what is required in the state. To him, getting out of dental school isnt the end of the journey, its just the beginning.

Dr. Butlers dental office is owned and operated by himself and his team, which means all of our decisions are based around what is best for your care, rather than being forced to listen to some larger entity or corporation. We make sure to give you the attention that you deserve, so you can live life smiling, not wondering if youll ever be listened or attended to. Furthermore, it also means youll be able to see the same dentist on a regular basis, rather than undergo a constant rotation of dentists you dont know.

Going to the dental office can be frustrating if they never seem to have the services youre looking for. Dr. Butler has been expanding his expertise so he can provide you the treatments you need all under one roof. Furthermore, dentistry is essential at every age, which is why we do everything we can to cater to your whole family. Whether your child needs their first ever basic cleaning and exam or you need to have multiple teeth repaired and replaced, were happy to say we can offer many services in one dental office.

Modern dentistry requires modern technology, which is why we incorporate multiple tools and techniques to ensure that you have the highest quality care possible. Capturing impressions is easier than ever with a digital impression system, and collecting the data we need to ensure the best-fitting denture, dental implant or oral appliance is seamless with our in-house cone beam CT scanner. Whatever your needs are, you can expect them to be managed with a modern approach.

Dr. Butler decided to become a dentist when he was still in junior high. He always had a knack for science while growing up and also genuinely enjoyed visiting his childhood dentist, which was definitely at odds with most kids his age. All these years later, hes never once regretted the commitment to make this field his lifelong career.

Dr. Butler graduated in a high school class that included just 15 people, and he was the first person in his family to earn his college degree too! He attended Tarleton State University and then pursued his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Texas Health Science Center Dental School at San Antonio. Subsequently, he joined the United States Air Force, completing a one-year dental residency program at Travis AFB in California. After being stationed at Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas for two years, he entered private practice.

Today, Dr. Butler is a proud Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, as well as a current member of the American Dental Association and Texas Dental Association. He is also a current Mentor of the Kois Center.

Simply put, members of the Kois Center are never satisfied with the status quo. This unique continuing education program for practicing dentists is the only one in the country that conducts and publishes independent research, and every course is updated yearly on the basis of new scientific evidence. Dentistry is constantly evolving, and Dr. Butler and other like-minded dentists are committed to staying right at the forefront of these developments.

Dr. Butler and his wife Michele have two daughters, Paige and Meg. Paige currently attends Texas A&M University, while Meg is currently attending Texas Tech Univeristy. When he isnt busy caring for teeth, hes an avid bird hunter and even has six Brittany dogs that he enjoys training and hunting alongside. Other hobbies include bow hunting, fly fishing (both fresh and saltwater), and cycling. He and Michele were at the Tour De France when Lance Armstrong won for the first time, and since then, hes ridden his bike up many of the famous climbs from the Tour.

Your dental visit is being taken care of not just by Dr. Butler, but by the hardworking team of hygienists, assistants, and support staff that keep the dental office running smoothly. Their dedication and passion for dentistry is second to none and they are always happy to take your dental questions. Education is just as important to them as providing exceptional care, so dont be afraid to ask for guidance, whether its for an upcoming treatment or a specific oral care product youre thinking of buying.

She and her husband, Wally, have lived in Bandera, Texas since 2000. Together they have two sons. When Casey is not at work, she is spending time with her family, either hanging out in their backyard, hunting or fishing at the coast.

Lisa is a local girl, born and raised in Hunt, Texas. She attended Austin Community College where she received a Registered Dental Assistant Certificate. She has been a Dental Assistant since 2008 and has been a part of our team since 2012.

Esly and her family moved from Corpus Christi, TX to the beautiful Hill Country in 2005. After a personal experience in high school involving oral surgery and years of braces, she knew dentistry was her passion. She wanted to work with a team who could provide the best dental care and share the same passion with their patients.

Esly attended the University of Texas in San Antonio and graduated in May of 2020 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Medical Humanities and a minor in Biology. She is also certified as a Registered Dental Assistant from UT Health and Science Center and is currently pursuing acceptance into Dental School to obtain a Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree.

Michelle has been in the dental field for over 15 years as a dental assistant and furthered her career as a dental hygienist. She has a passion for dentistry and providing optimal care for her patients.

Sheli considers herself more than just a hygienist, but an oral health educator. Teaching people to care for their head and neck can affect the health of the rest of their body, she says. I think people are reluctant to come to the dentist, and its my job to show them how preventive care can make every visit a relief, not something to be feared.

A Tarkington Prairie native, Sheli has lived in Bandera since 1994. She originally attended college as a psychology major for 2 years, making the shift to dental hygiene when she realized it was a better fit. Sheli graduated from the University of Texas Health Science Center with her dental hygiene degree. All of my time was well spent, she says. The years studying psychology make me better at patient care.

Sheli says the best part of her job is feeling like part of the community. When shes not caring for patients, Sheli is spending time volunteering at church, school, and with various other organizations. She also owns and operates a specialty cafe in Bandera called The Hens Nest. She has been married since 1993, has 4 sons, 2 grandsons, and many pets.

Dr. Butler enjoys sharing his love of dentistry with young people who are interested in the field. He regularly has high school and college interns helping in the office - learning dental techniques, patient care, and business skills. His track record is pretty great - his first intern, Paige Priour Blalock, is currently a dentist in Austin, his second intern, Erik Hager, graduated from Texas A&M University in 2020 and is now attending Texas A&M Dental School in Dallas, and his 3rd intern, Codi Becker, graduated from Tivy High School and is a Pre-Dental Major at Texas Tech University.
