Welcome to our practice! It's such an honor that you have chosen our practice, and I look forward to working with you and your family. I love working with people of all ages and seeing how a beautiful smile can make such a big difference in my patients' lives. As your orthodontist, it is my goal to provide you with an exceptional orthodontic experience, one that leaves you smiling for many years to come.
I began my orthodontic career by earning my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree and my Master's Degree in orthodontics from the University of Texas Dental Branch in Houston. I focused most of my graduate training on providing passive expansion for young patients. I became a board certified orthodontist after completing my education.
While I have completed all of the educational requirements and training necessary to become an orthodontist, I continue to pursue educational opportunities through continuing education. Orthodontics is always changing and advancing with new technology and treatment procedures. I like to stay current with the latest orthodontic advancements in order to ensure that my patients receive the most up-to-date treatments.
I am also proud to have served as the President of the Century Club of the University of Texas Orthodontic Department, and as the President of the University of Texas Orthodontic Alumni Association. Both of these organizations promote the pursuit of excellence in orthodontics, and explore the future advances that impact orthodontic treatments. I enjoy what I do as an orthodontist, and I love being involved in the orthodontic community. My work in orthodontics has given me so many wonderful opportunities to learn and grow in my profession, and I have had the chance to work with some great people. I was honored to be named "Super Dentist (in orthodontics)" by Texas Monthly magazine due to my contributions to the orthodontic profession.
When I am not at the practice, I enjoy spending time with my wife Sophie, daughter Merit Reese, and sons Beau Bonham and Zane Michael. MY hobbies include spending time at our family farm, hunting, fishing, running, and playing golf. I also like to dream up shameless internet quirks to drive internet traffic to our website. Someday I'd like to put braces on Katy Perry, Peyton Manning, Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift. Did I mention braces are gluten free?
It is my pleasure to serve you and your family. For over 45 years, I have been practicing orthodontics in the Houston area. I enjoy working with patients of all ages, and knowing that I am making a positive difference in their lives. A smile means so many different things to different people, and I love being a part of my patient's personal transformations throughout their treatments. I look forward to sharing with you the joys of beautiful, healthy, bright Texas smiles!
After receiving my dental education and specialization in orthodontics, I opened my private practice here in Houston. Over the years, I have been honored to serve my community, and I have received many special awards for my work as an orthodontist, but the greatest reward of all is earning my patient�s trust.
I believe that a good orthodontist never stops learning. The field of orthodontics is always changing, and I am committed to staying current with the latest orthodontic advances through continuing education opportunities. I am a member, diplomate, and the former president of the American Board of Orthodontics, and I currently serve as a Clinical Professor of Orthodontics at the University of Texas Dental Branch in Houston. I was also honored to receive the Yellen-Schoverling Award, the Martin Dewey Award, the Dale Wade Award, and the Todd and Helen Dewell Award for my efforts in the orthodontic field.
I proudly welcome you and your family to this practice, and I look forward to working with you and your wonderful smile!
