I have been coming here since 2016 and I have worked with most of not all hygienists and I love it! They all have been amazing and given me great tips to keep up with my mouth hygiene. I visit every 6 months and always treated so well especially from Dr. De Guzman! ♥️ Definitely give them a try and keep up with your appointments!

Best Dentist in Houston. I've been coming to Bayou City Smiles for several years now and can't recommend it enough. They have a clean office with people that really care about your oral health. The Front Desk staff is extremely helpful and they always ensure they can accommodate your schedule. Both the doctors and the hygienists are professional and careful when providing care.

I just recently started going here and I love it. I spoke to Hector and he walked me through my treatment and help me understand the procedures. Dr Corral was my dentist and he was also AMAZING! Funny and caring, she made sure I was okay the whole time and insure me that it would be painless. The office is beautiful and very high tech. Recommend!! Now my Smile is big and Pearly White

I absolutely ADORE Bayou City Smiles. Dr. DeGuzman and Dr. Q are amazing. They take really great care of your teeth. They make sure you leave the office looking good and feeling great. The dental hygienists, assistants, and front desk staff are super sweet and always very professional. They always make you feel welcomed. I would definitely recommend this place to my family and my friends.

I found Bayou City Smiles through their endorsement as the Best Dentist in Houston by OutSmart Magazine. Oftentimes, awards received can be measures of popularity not quality so I was unsure if Bayou City Smiles would measure up as the best. I decided to try them out since I need a dentist on this side of town and Spring is a long drive from Pearland with a numb mouth.Let me tell y’all I am so happy I did!I arrived early and Hector greeted me immediately. I was guided to a computer screen across from the receptionist desk for new patient paperwork, but I had already filled everything out through the convenient link they had emailed me the day before I arrived. They had also called and texted me to confirm my appointment. On my first visit, I was led to the back by Kei’a and welcomed by the hygienist, Chriszelda.First, it’s a wonderful feeling to be treated by medical professionals who look like you. They understand the ways your cultural background and day-to-day life play a role in your dental care. They are very thorough in asking you questions about your patterns to determine the impact on your teeth.And with that segue I’ll note my second point which is, during their line of questioning I was very gently asked something no hygienist or dentist had ever asked me before.Had I experienced disordered eating?I had.I also had not shared that information with a hygienist before in any dental appointment. If I’d been asked by anyone other than Chriszelda I’m not sure I would have shared, but she made me feel safe enough to tell her the truth.From that moment on, she never left my side.She gave me a deep cleaning explaining to me the importance of visiting the dentist every six months and gently encouraging me to take better care of myself while we traded stories about our families.By the time Dr. Q came in to inspect my teeth and greet me, Chriszelda and I were friends.Dr. Q went over my concerns and addressed what was urgent. He made me feel cared for, seen, and attended to in a way that no dentist or medical professional had ever took the time to listen. I wanted his opinion on some cosmetic procedures, and he was thoughtful, but careful not to insert his bias.In that appointment I realized how much I dislike going to any kind of doctor appointment, but Dr. Q and Chriszelda made me feel great enough to where I want to return.Them and their banging playlist.Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Destiny’s Child, Kelly Clarkson?Yes, please!Last, they give you a fuzzy blanket if you get cold during your appointment. I always get cold in dentist offices, so I really appreciate this extra touch of care.Is it weird to say I can’t wait to go back to see my dentist? I found out I can also request the hygienist I like to spend time with, so I’ve already requested Chriszelda for my next visit.Thanks, Dr. Quincy and Chriszelda! Y’all are the best.
