Whether in or out of the dental office, our team members believe in making a difference. As a result, we participate in many Kaufman community events, such as the Jubilee. For many years, weve also worked with the Helen Edwards Early Childhood Center to perform needed dental checks. In addition, we make presentations in health classes at local schools and help support donations for oral hygiene kits going overseas to those in need. We are always looking for other ways to be involved and help in our community!
Our humble beginnings started with Dr. Erik Harrington, his trusty 1989 Ram Charger, and some long, enlightening drives. Years ago, he began to visit different dental offices in rural towns and communities throughout Texas, providing specialty treatments there to patients in need. These experiences revealed a strong need for high-quality oral healthcare in these underserved areas and from there, the idea of starting Texas Dentistry formed!
More than anything, Dr. Harringtons goal was to create a new place where families and individuals in the rural and suburban areas outside of Dallas could turn to for reliable, affordable care that would result in lasting smile improvements. Today, with convenient dental offices in Mesquite, Terrell, and Kaufman, he and his team have definitely gone above and beyond in making this dream a reality.
For over five years now, Dr. Tran has been serving patients in Kaufman and the surrounding areas. In fact, she has been with our dental office since she graduated from dental school. Every day, she loves being able to serve such diverse people with their unique dental needs.
Dr. Tran grew up in San Diego and is also fluent in Vietnamese. While she attended college at the University of California in San Diego, she landed a dental assistant job during the summer before her junior year in order to fund a trip to Europe. Unexpectedly, she received excellent mentoring and fell in love with dentistry. Later, she graduated from Tufts School of Dental Medicine, and then she came to our dental office here in Kaufman with her husband, Dr. Lam.
Dr. DeLeon always loved going to the dentist, even when she was a young child, because she found the overall environment to be very calm and peaceful. After shadowing a dentist while in college and being encouraged to pursue the field as her career path, she made her choice and hasnt looked back! Being told about the need for minority/female dentists as a means to help bridge the gap between patient populations was a big source of inspiration for her; she also comes from a family with a long line of educators, who enthusiastically supported and encouraged her decision.
Dr. DeLeons college career started at Southwestern University. After the completion of her undergraduate degree, she achieved her doctorate at Texas A&M University College of Dentistry; she was also a post-baccalaureate fellow there. Today, she still enjoys taking continuing education courses to further improve her skills and expand her knowledge. She is certified in both Invisalign and Level 1 Minimal Sedation.
When she isnt busy at the dental office, Dr. DeLeon stays very active by running, doing Pilates, and enjoying nature on long hiking trails. Shes also a big tennis fan and has been playing since was eight years old! She even played at the collegiate level before.
