Growing up, I was blessed to have both a great dentist and an orthodontist. In the summers, I was allowed to volunteer at the dental office, and this even lead to a summer job at the office. These moments were valuable and helped me decide to pursue dentistry for a career. I attended Texas A&M University and received a Bachelors Degree in Biology and a minor in business.
From there, I attended the #1 dental school in the country at The University of Texas at San Antonio Health Science Center. Once I obtained my DDS degree, I attended Baylor College of Dentistry to acquire an elective degree in Advanced Education in General Dentistry.
This prepared me for a private dental practice with advanced dental training and techniques. I was selected for a rare opportunity to join a dental practice in Plano, Texas from one of the first dentist in Plano.
After practicing as an associate, I purchased the dental practice and continued to carry on the legacy and develop relationships with the patients. I shared time between the private practice and a local dental clinic for underserved families needing dental care in Plano, TX. The more time I served at the dental practice, I noticed more and more of our patients needing root canal treatment due to cracked teeth, broken teeth, worn teeth, teeth clenching/grinding, and experiencing TMJ problems.
Then, my wife cracked a tooth and needed a root canal and crown. This happened on our six year wedding anniversary. Giving your wife a root canal is not the way to spend an anniversary! I decided to extend my training for root canal treatment to care for my patients and signed up for an educational course focused on root canal therapy.
The course was canceled the day before due to a lack of attendance, and I was placed in a different course that was available. I didnt know what the course was about but decided to attend anyway. Little did I know this class would change the direction of my dental career.
The course was focused on how to correct and treat patients with worn teeth, clenching/grinding issues, bite problems, gum recession, TMJ issues, and how to control/reduce cracking teeth and bite problems. It opened my eyes to a better, more conservative way to treat these problems and not just treat the symptoms while watching the issues progressively become worse. This led me to pursue further training and experience to provide the best service for my patients needs.
My patients and my wife have since enjoyed overall better dental health. I continued to pursue more training and earned a certificate from The Dawson Academy for Complete Care. I am in ongoing training with like-mineded doctors in weekly study clubs that include Dentistry Optimal Model, Invisalign, cosmetic training courses through Cosmedent Composite Training.

Mockup simulation:Which is an esthetic try-in designed to see the outcome before starting esthetic treatment. This allows the patient to see the desired outcome in their mouth, with their smile, before treatment. It also allows us to evaluate cosmetics, color, shape, length, and expectations.
