Meet your doctors

Dr. Courtney Ellis and Dr. Brittany Sok

Dr. Courtney Ellis has been part of this practice since August 2020 and became its proud owner in February 2024, carrying forward a legacy that began in River Oaks in the 1950s. A graduate of the University of Texas Health Science Center School of Dentistry at Houston, she finished in the top 10% of her dental class and brings 8 years of hands-on experience to every patient interaction. Using advanced technology, she makes sure you can see exactly what she sees, so every conversation about next steps feels clear, collaborative, and never pressured. Dr. Ellis is an active member of the AGD, TDA, AACA, and AAFE, and has completed advanced continuing education in veneers through SmileTrend. Dr. Brittany Sok joins her in delivering the same warm, personalized standard of care that this practice has always been known for.

Modern dentistry, personalized care

Therapeutic Botox

Botox at our practice goes well beyond aesthetics. Whether you're managing TMJ discomfort, jaw tension, or teeth grinding, therapeutic Botox offers targeted relief administered by a dentist who understands your bite, your muscles, and your long-term oral health.

Clear aligners

Want to straighten your smile without disrupting your busy schedule? Clear aligners work with your life, not against it. Start with a free consultation, and let our team guide you through a personalized treatment plan designed just for you.

Teeth whitening

Professional teeth whitening doesn't have to be complicated. We'll discuss your goals during a free consultation, recommend the option that works best for your schedule, and send you home with a confident next step.

What sets us apart

A practice that feels different

You'll notice it the moment you call: a real person who knows our practice inside and out. You'll feel it during your exam: a doctor who sits with you before picking up instruments, who shows you what she sees on our iTero scanner, and who respects your timeline and your choices. And you'll appreciate it after every visit: a practice that invested in modern technology, staffed by people who genuinely care, and built on relationships that last years, not transactions that last an hour.

A River Oaks legacy you can trust

This practice has been serving River Oaks families since the 1950s, and we have third-generation patients who are proof that trust, once earned, lasts. When you come here, you're joining a community with deep roots, not just a patient list.

Modern technology, clear communication

Digital forms, an iTero scanner, digital X-rays, and an updated imaging system mean your visit runs efficiently and your findings are easy to understand. When you can see what the doctor sees, making confident decisions about your care becomes a whole lot simpler.

Your chief concern, first

We don't believe in overwhelming new patients with a long list on their first visit. You'll leave with a clear priority and a plan you chose, because it's our job to show you what we see and your job to decide how you'd like to take care of it.

Don’t just take our word for it
