A deferment of enrollment for three years, due to his Navy commitment. Subsequently, Dr. Beaber attended Surface Warfare Officer training in San Diego, California and was then stationed on the USS White Plains (AFS-4) in Apra Harbor, Guam before deploying to the Persian Gulf, shortly after the first Gulf War. Dr. Beaber was a highly decorated officer and, upon completion of service, he returned to Boston to pursue his dental degree.
While at Tufts, Dr. Beaber received numerous honors and awards for research and clinical excellence, represented Tufts as a presenter at the International Association of Dental Research and was selected to the Robert Andrews Honor Society. Prior to graduation, Dr. Beaber was offered and accepted a scholarship from the United States Air Force and was stationed at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where he served for three years as a general dentist. He was then selected to attend the Air Force orthodontic residency in San Antonio, Texas. He graduated first in his class and was assigned as Chief of Orthodontic Services at Spangdahlem Air Force Base, Germany. In this capacity, Dr. Beaber treated over 15,000 service members and their familys orthodontics needs. Dr. Beaber began a private practice in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado, before returning to the State of Texas andGod's country in Heath Rockwall where he plans to retire.
Away from the office, Dr. Beaber, his wife Andrea and their children, Lauren, Lexie and Jonathan, enjoy spending time as a family. Together they enjoy the Texas outdoor life, family karaoke nights, playing family games and traveling.
With over 25 years of dental experience, Dr. Beaber provides unsurpassed orthodontic services, as referenced by hundreds of extremely satisfied patients, and local dentists. As a staff, we look forward to treating your familys orthodontic needs.
Our philosophy of treatment is to provide customized orthodontic care for you or your childs needs. Why NON Extraction is so important When I worked as a General Dentist, I was asked to treat a portion of our Air Force service member population suffering from temporomandibular joint disorder sometimes called TMJ. It was alarming to find the greatest number of sufferers had a history of 2 or 4 premolar extraction with braces for space closure; nearly 80% of sufferers. When I asked my TMJ mentors if they experienced similar findings, they concurred. However, nothing like that had been published. I asked, What can be done to stop this from happening? The answer: You need to become an orthodontist and focus on changing growth in the jaws to reduce this from happening.
Luckily, a couple years later, I was selected to attend the Air Force residency at Wilford Hall in San Antonio. Imagine my dismay when I discovered the standard of care for nearly 85% of patients was to extract 2 or 4 premolars in combination with braces. Two years later, the effects of this procedure still concerned me as I knew the path a lot of these patients would go down over the next 10, 20 or 30 years. I asked my mentors if we could treat more patients with non-extraction techniques to which they responded: No (with various reasons why).
As luck would have it, about a week later, I was invited into an orthodontists office who touted non-extraction techniques on over 95% of his patients. Eureka! I listened to his engineering background (like mine) and philosophy and pure passion for helping people. He encouraged me to seek out other orthodontists and see the way they practice before establishing my own opinions, methodologies and philosophies.
Over the next 2 years, I visited nearly 50 orthodontic offices. Here is what I found: the 4 best all were trained as engineers (Mechanical or Chemical), all were using bonded expanders and all were using the Damon system of braces. When it came time to leave the Air Force (which by the way was an awesome way to gain familiarity and exposure to the more than 20 different systems of orthodontics available) I decided to model my practice after these 4 great leaders and role models.
My opinions and philosophies have been proven by the more than 4000 patients I have successfully treated with the following amazing statistic: Over 95% of growing patients have been treated without premolar extraction and more than 85% of adults have been treated non-extraction, non-surgical. It is my firm belief we have established the gold standard of care for other orthodontists to follow.

I have 6 kids and have lived in various places, therefore I've worked with 5 different orthodontists for my kids' braces. The ortho care we received from Dr. Beaber is by far the BEST care we've had. He is hands down the best in the profession!!

AVOID GOING HERE AT ALL COSTS. With their fake niceties, this practice has a predatory business practices. I moved from TX to CA and naturally transferred to an ortho in CA. When I spoke to this practice they never stated any fees. Upon transferring they wanted to charge me $2147 and called it a "courtesy fee". What a joke. They are charging me for the entire treatment when I only received 10months of treatment which I paid on time, each month. They have then changed the balance to $1565. I am getting charged over $1,500 for nothing - NO SERVICES rendered. They also took over 1 month to get my transfer paperwork to me and initially denied sending me any of my pictures and xrays. They also charged an additional fee to simply send my xrays over. All in all, a horrible experience. It has caused me not only financial distress but also emotional distress and anxiety. DO NOT GO HERE. I 100% regret going there and I wish I never had.

We are so grateful for Dr Beaber, Kelly, and the newer members of the team. Our first round of braces elsewhere did a temporary fix on an open bite that did not last. At that point the recommendation was to wait until growing was done and then undergo jaw surgery. Instead, Dr Beaber was super anxious to grab the time available BEFORE growing was done and maximize the body's willingness to reshape my daughters mouth. I appreciate his expertise. He has a vision different from others we have used or consulted without the giant price tag I was quoted elsewhere. Hooray for HERO. You guys saved the day.

Having had braces in the past I had my first consultation with Dr. Beaber today to discuss the issues I had. Dr Beaber was thorough and explained all of my options and i really enjoyed seeing how passionate he was about helping me reach my goals. I also wanted to mention how kind Kelly was and can tell this practice loves their patients. Would recommend to anyone in the area for their Orthodontic needs.

Dr. Beaber came highly recommended to our family by one of the top biological dentists in America so I immediately scheduled a free consultation. If I had known Dr. Beaber years ago when our daughter went through their first round of braces we would have joined the countless others who traveled from out of state to see him. We are SO BLESSED to now be so close to his office now that she is going through her second round of braces. He is the ONLY Orthodontist we will go to or recommend because he has +25 years of experience handling all kinds of cases and has the long-term dental and overall health of his clients in mind when he creates a treatment plan. He also has a great way of connecting with children (as well as adults) and addressing any questions, worries, or concerns they may have. His knowledge and experience is setting our daughter up to have healthy, correctly angled teeth so she won't have to have 4 adult teeth removed due to a lack of spacing and incorrectly angled teeth (among other dental/medical issues) - that is HUGE! In addition to all of that, she will also have a BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY SMILE!! If you, or anyone you know needs an orthodontist, I would encourage you to schedule a free consultation with Dr. Beaber because you will be truly amazed at the depth of his insight and the wonderful results you will receive!

My wife and son used Dr Beaber in Colorado and he did an amazing job. My wife had a difficult situation where a tooth had to be rotated and Dr Beaber got it turned around. Our son was with Dr Beaber from expanders to final braces and he turned out great. I highly recommend his services.

Dr. Beaber and his team took care of all three of my children. Each had different treatment plans. My daughter had a full set of braces in the Damon system and was finished in less than two years. She is now 21 and still gets compliments on her beautiful smile. My older son had combo treatment, meaning he had an expander and a full set of braces also in Damon. He was done in less than two years as well. He is now 20 and has the best smile you can see it from across the room. My youngest son needed a phase 1 at the age of 8, and then went on to complete a full set of Damon braces at the age of 12. All three still have stable and beautiful smiles. I am extremely pleased with the treatment my family received over the course of six years my kids were in an out of braces. I highly recommend Dr. Beaber and his team of experts to take care of your families orthodontic needs. Thank you HeRo Orthodontics!! You rock!
