Welcome to Courtney C. Ellis, DDS

A dentist who knows your name, not just your chart

Dr. Courtney Ellis grew up spending a lot of time in the dental chair, and she credits that experience with shaping the kind of dentist she became. Her childhood dentist in a small Texas town had a gift for making patients feel genuinely known, asking about sports, family, and vacations at every visit. That relationship-first approach stuck with her. After earning her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Texas Health Science Center School of Dentistry at Houston, graduating in the top 10% of her class, she set out to build that same kind of practice for her own patients.

Dr. Ellis has been practicing dentistry for eight years, the last several of them right here at this Houston location. She began as an associate in August 2020 and became the practice owner in February 2024. She holds active memberships in the Academy of General Dentistry, the Texas Dental Association, the American Academy of Clear Aligners, and the American Academy of Facial Esthetics, and she completed advanced continuing education in veneers with SmileTrend in Arizona. Joining her is Dr. Brittany Sok, DDS, who brings her own dedication to personalized, patient-centered care to every appointment. Together, they bring both clinical depth and genuine warmth to every visit.

A team that makes you feel like family from the moment you call

When patients describe this practice to their friends, the thing they say most often is, "everyone there is so nice." That reputation didn't happen by accident. Office Manager Sherry Rogers has been with the practice for 36 years, and the experience runs deep throughout the entire team, including hygienists, dental assistants, and front desk staff who genuinely care about making your visit smooth and comfortable. New patients complete digital forms ahead of time so there's no paperwork scramble on arrival, and appointments are structured to respect your time without feeling rushed.

The office itself is designed to help you relax. Chapstick, neck pillows, blankets, and water bottles are available to make your time in the chair as comfortable as possible. The practice uses an iTero scanner, digital imaging, and updated software so that Dr. Ellis can walk you through exactly what she sees in a clear, visual way: no confusing jargon, no overwhelming laundry list. Every new patient leaves with a clear priority number one and a plan that feels manageable. It's the kind of experience that keeps families coming back for generations, and this practice has the third-generation patients to prove it.

Modern dental care for every stage of life, all under one roof

Courtney C. Ellis, DDS is rooted in general and preventive dentistry, with a strong focus on keeping patients healthy for the long term. Cleanings, exams, digital X-rays, fluoride treatments, and sealants form the foundation of care here. For patients dealing with teeth grinding, jaw tension, or TMJ discomfort, the practice offers night guards, bite splints, and Botox for therapeutic TMJ relief. When it comes to straightening teeth, both Invisalign and CandidPro clear aligners are available, along with free consultations to help you figure out which option fits your life.

Patients looking to brighten their smile can choose from Zoom! and Opalescence professional whitening, and free consultations are also offered for veneers, dental implant restorations, and teeth whitening. Restorative options include tooth-colored fillings, white zirconia crowns, bridges, implant-supported restorations, and more. Nitrous oxide is available for patients who need a little extra ease, and same-day appointments are offered for dental emergencies. Whether you're bringing in the whole family or coming in on your own for the first time, this practice is built to meet you where you are and help you take the next best step with confidence.
