You're in Experienced, Caring Hands

Every patient gets the same doctor — Dr. Maddipati — not a rotating staff. She trained to understand the whole patient, not just the tooth.

DDS, MPH

A dentist who chose public health first

Dr. Maddipati earned her Master of Public Health before her dental degree — an unusual path that shapes everything about how she practices. Accessible, honest, kind. She accepts Medicaid because she means it.

Her patients often tell her she's the first dentist who made them feel truly at ease. That's not an accident — it's the whole point.

What your visit looks like — from the moment you call:

1

A real conversation — not a form

You call, we answer, and you tell us what you're feeling. No automated systems, no hold music.

2

Dr. Maddipati listens before she examines

She wants to hear your story first — when it started, how it feels, what worries you. Your words guide the examination.

3

A gentle, unhurried exam

She examines with care and takes an X-ray if it helps clarify the picture. She tells you what she's doing as she goes — no surprises.

4

Everything explained in plain language

Before anything is recommended, she tells you what she found — in English or Spanish. You decide, at your own pace.

What Our Patients Say

These are the moments that matter most — when a patient leaves feeling heard, cared for, and better than when they walked in.

 5-Star Google Reviews

"I called in the morning and they got me in the same day. Dr. Maddipati was calm, thorough, and explained everything before touching anything. I left feeling so much better."

Maria R. · Houston, TX

"Hadn't been to a dentist in years due to anxiety. She never made me feel judged — took her time, explained everything, and checked in with me throughout. I finally trust a dentist."

James T. · Houston, TX

"They saw my son the same day and the staff speaks Spanish — wonderful for my mother-in-law who came along. Everyone was so warm and patient with us."

Rosa M. · Houston, TX

"They verified my Medicaid before I arrived so I knew what to expect. Clean office, no long wait, and the doctor answered every question. This is how dental care should feel."

Questions Patients Usually Ask

These answers are general information only. A dental exam is the only way to know for certain what is causing your symptoms.
It depends on the size of the chip and whether you have pain. A small chip with no pain can usually wait a day or two. A large break, a sharp edge cutting your tongue or cheek, or pain when biting or with temperature changes warrants prompt professional evaluation — call 832-779-5522. When in doubt, call — our team will help assess urgency.
Rinse it gently with water and keep it in a small container of milk or saliva if possible. Bring it to your appointment — in some cases it can be bonded back. Even if it can't be reattached, seeing the fragment helps us understand what happened to the tooth.
Not always. Small chips can often be repaired with dental bonding in a single visit. Larger breaks may need a crown to restore the tooth's structure and protect it from further damage. We'll tell you exactly what's needed — and the cost — before anything is done.
Not always immediately. A broken tooth with exposed dentin or pulp will often become sensitive to temperature or pressure. Sometimes a tooth breaks without immediate pain, but discomfort develops over the following hours or days. Either way, it's worth having it examined.
