Dr. Thomas Trinkner’s practice is a standout for personalized dental care! I’ve been a patient for years, and the consistency of their expertise and kindness never wavers. Dr. Trinkner takes time to listen to concerns, explaining treatments in plain language—no confusing jargon. My recent crown procedure was painless, thanks to his gentle touch and modern techniques.

The hygienists are thorough yet gentle, making cleanings feel like a breeze. The clinic is cozy and well-run, with a staff that remembers your name and follows up on recovery. They’re flexible with scheduling, handle insurance smoothly, and never push unnecessary services. A trusted dental home where you feel valued, not just a patient!

My family and I have been seeing Dr. Trinkner and his amazing staff for 20+ years. He and his staff are the best and I would never go anywhere else. Very good and very honest which, unfortunately, is hard to find in this profession. 5 ⭐️

Called in to book an appointment, for a small in between the front teeth (Esthetic/Cosmetic). Was told i had to do a consulting and then re-book for the filling. Big joke. The same took no re-appointment, no re-scheduling, one sitting 15 minutes and done .. this was in Houston, TX. Very bad practice. Would never recommend

Dr. Trinkner and his staff were highly recommended by a friend and regular client. I had my first appointment last week and seen first hand why they have glowing reviews. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Dr.

Trinkner even tweaked an area on my front tooth, at no charge, that I considered very unsightly. Although it took him only 5 minutes, and was just another day at the office for him, it meant allot to me. Thank you Dr. Trinkner!
