Why Checkups Are Important
Routine dental checkups are crucial for identifying early signs of decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Regular visits allow our team to detect and address problems before they become severe, helping you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.
Save Time and Money with Preventive Care
Preventive dental care is a smart investment. By catching potential issues early, you can avoid extensive, costly treatments down the line. Regular cleanings and exams are your best defense against cavities, gum disease, and other common dental concerns.
The Benefits of Preventive Care for All Ages
No matter your age, preventive care is essential. For children, it promotes good habits and helps monitor the development of their teeth. For adults and seniors, it supports long-term oral health by preventing decay, tooth loss, and gum disease.
How Often You Should See the Dentist
We recommend visiting us every six months for a dental checkup. However, some patients may need more frequent visits based on their specific needs, such as those with existing gum disease or a history of cavities. Our team will recommend a checkup schedule that's right for your smile!

Dr. Tuan Pham
Dr. Tuan was born in Vietnam but moved to the United States at six months old. He has been living here in Katy, Texas for over 20 years.
Dr. Tuan has been practicing dentistry for almost a decade. His philosophy in dentistry revolves around minimalistic dentistry with a heavy emphasis on patient education and treating the cause, not the symptom. We can't fix anything without understanding the “why or how” we got there in the first place. Oral health is the start of full-body wellness.
More About Dr. Pham
To truly provide comprehensive care in dentistry, Dr. Tuan diligently devotes his time to being highly trained by the top leaders in dentistry. He has over 1000 hours of continuing education in dentistry. From Wisdom teeth surgery, implants, root canals, Invisalign, braces, and full mouth rehab crowns/veneers. He believes to be a great dentist, one must know and deeply understand all dental specialties to help create a truly comprehensive plan to take care of another person's oral health.
Our practice is heavily focused on patient comfort and care. We provide IV sedation for those who are very fearful of dentistry, as well as a wide variety of comfort menu items to create a tranquil and peaceful experience in a dental office setting. What he finds more rewarding in dentistry is instilling a sense of confidence and inner peace in a person's smile and oral health.
Besides dentistry, Dr. Tuan spends the majority of his time with his wife and three-year-old daughter, Ellie. The family enjoys gardening together, being outdoors, and cooking together. In his free time, he spends it learning new things and prioritizing his health and fitness.

She has a Bachelor of Biology from the University of Houston and then obtained her Doctor of Dental Surgery at UT School of Dentistry.
Dr. Dao was inspired to become a dentist because dentistry is such a perfect blend of science, art, and service.
More About Dr. Dao
Dr. Dao pursued a comprehensive approach to cosmetic dentistry and excelled in general dentistry. Her expertise includes orthodontic, endodontic, crowns, veneers, extractions as well as restorative dentistry. She enjoys meeting people at her practice, transforming their lives whether it is getting them out of pain or giving them a new smile. As important as restoring and transforming smiles, Dr. Dao's philosophy on patient care also emphasized cavity prevention and patient education.
Outside of work, Dr. Dao loves spending time with her husband and daughter, Ellie, who is almost four years old. She also enjoys arts and crafts, such as painting, pottery, and balloon art. She is also an avid traveler who enjoys experiencing different foods and cultures.
