A message from Dr Weera:
"
Hello! I want to welcome you to our dentist office and give you a brief introduction of our family practice. My name is Dr. Trent Weera. I am a father of 4 wonderful children - Ellie, Eli, Emry, and Oliver. I am an alumnus of Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, and re-located to Houston in 2009.
Our dental practice has 7 associate dentists that share similar practice philosophies in patient care - myself, my wife - Dr. Claudia Thomas, Dr. Jimmy Tran, Dr. Haitham Wehbe, Dr. Ahmad Muhieddine, Dr. Saeed Rohi, and our orthodontist, Dr. Daniel Le. The seven of us have combined 7+ decades of experience in dentistry and we work together to provide the best dental care possible for our patients. We strive to give our patients a great experience that is comfortable and will help alleviate the anxieties of going to the dentist. Our friendly staff will also be there to support you and help to clarify any other questions you may have. We are a private practice that is focused on providing quality dental care in a relaxed environment for the entire family, at an affordable cost. We recognize each individual has different needs and concerns; therefore, we individually customize your dental care in accordance with your needs and primary concerns. Our team will help guide you through the process, by prioritizing your dental treatments in a way that is easy to understand, affordable (payment plan options), and practical for you to achieve your dental goals. We look forward to working with you soon!

Trent S Weera, DDS & Claudia Thomas, DDS
